Rat and Mouse Control in Gold Coast is often booked by people who first thought they had a possum. Rats and mice make lighter, quicker scratching sounds, and they are busy for much of the night rather than just at dusk and dawn. Small dark droppings, chewed food packets and gnawed cables are other signs to look for.
The crew we book starts by finding where the rodents are living and how they are getting in. They check the roof cavity, the garage, the kitchen cupboards and the spots where pipes enter the house. Baits are placed in locked bait boxes in the roof and in other areas that pets and children cannot reach, and snap traps can be used where baiting is not wanted.
- Roof, garage and kitchen checked for droppings and nests
- Locked bait boxes placed out of reach of pets and children
- Snap traps set where you prefer no bait
- Entry gaps around pipes and cables sealed with mesh or filler
- Advice on food storage and yard clean-up
Rats and mice breed quickly, so the sooner gaps are closed the better. Warm, humid weather and nearby fruit trees, compost bins and chicken coops all draw them in. Baiting on its own deals with the rodents already there, while sealing the gaps stops new ones arriving. Many people book both in the same visit, and add vent mesh if the house has open subfloor vents.
Keeping pet food inside overnight and picking up fallen fruit also helps. Rat and mouse control is booked across Gold Coast with upfront pricing. Call 07 3543 7769, tell us where you are hearing or seeing signs, and we will book a local team.
