Scratching in the ceiling at night is the classic sign of rats or mice on the Sunshine Coast. Roof rats climb palm trees, fruit trees and cables to reach gutters and gaps in the roofline, while mice slip in under doors and around pipes. Droppings in the pantry, chewed food packets and gnawed wiring are other signs to watch for.
The crew we book inspects the roof void, subfloor, garage and yard to find where rodents are living, feeding and getting in. They set bait stations or traps in the right spots, usually in the roof, along fence lines and near sheds. Stations are lockable so kids and pets cannot reach the bait. The crew also points out the gaps that need to be closed off once activity drops.
- Roof void inspection for droppings, nests and runways
- Lockable bait stations inside and outside the home
- Traps where baits are not suitable
- Checks of sheds, garages and compost areas
- A list of entry points to seal once activity drops
Around the yard, cut back branches and palm fronds touching the roof, pick up fallen fruit, keep compost bins closed and store pet food in sealed tubs. Once the noise stops, sealing gaps with steel mesh or filler helps keep new rodents out. Some homes need a second visit so the crew can check and refill the bait stations, and we price that upfront if it is needed.
Tell us when you call if you have heard noises in the walls, seen droppings in the kitchen or found chewed cables in the garage or car, as that helps the crew plan where to start and how many bait stations to bring. For rodent control anywhere on the Sunshine Coast, call 07 3543 7766. We give upfront pricing on the phone and book a nearby crew.
