Not every noise in the ceiling is a possum. Rats and mice make lighter, quicker scratching sounds and are often busy right through the night. You may also find small dark droppings in cupboards or notice a musty smell near the ceiling. We take bookings for rat and mouse removal in Rocklea and book an independent crew that works nearby to find where they are coming from and deal with them.
The crew we book checks the roof space, wall tops, kitchen cupboards, laundry and under the house for droppings, gnaw marks, greasy rub marks and nests. Rats often come in along power lines, fences and branches, or through gaps around pipes, vents and weep holes. Mice can squeeze through a gap about the width of a pencil. Rats in the ceiling can chew wiring and nest in insulation, so it pays to act early.
Once the activity is mapped, the crew sets out lockable bait stations and snap traps in the roof space and other spots rodents use, placed out of reach of children and pets. The crew explains where each station goes and when it should be checked again. Gaps are then closed with mesh, metal or filler, which is the part that stops new rats moving in.

Rats are common around Rocklea, especially near creeks, parks and older homes with space under the floor. Call 07 3543 7765 and tell us what you have seen or heard. We will give you upfront pricing and book a local crew, same-day or next-day where the run allows.
