Rats and mice move indoors on the Gold Coast when they find food, water and a warm place to nest. Roof rats run along fences and power lines and get into ceilings through gaps under roof tiles, while mice squeeze through holes the size of a pencil around pipes and doors. Scratching in the ceiling at night, droppings in the pantry and chewed packaging are the most common signs.
When you call, we ask where you hear or see activity, whether there are droppings and what is growing near the house, such as palms, fruit trees or thick vines. Rodents breed quickly, so it is worth acting early. We book a nearby independent crew and give you upfront pricing before the visit.
The crew we book inspects the roof space, garage, laundry, kitchen and the outside of the home, looking for entry points, runways and nesting spots. They set tamper resistant bait stations or traps in the right places, and they point out gaps that are worth sealing to stop rodents getting back in. They also explain what to do with food, pet food and rubbish to make the home less attractive. Depending on the activity, a return visit to check the stations may be suggested, with pricing given upfront.
