Rats in the roof, subfloor or yard are one of the more common calls we take from Brisbane homes, usually after someone hears scratching at night or finds droppings in a cupboard or garage. We book a local crew who can come out, look at the areas where you have noticed activity, and work out where the rats are getting in and where they are nesting. Renters as well as owners call about this, since a landlord or property manager often wants the address checked before repairs to the roof or walls go ahead.
The crew checks the roof void, subfloor and the outside of the house for gaps around vents, eaves, pipes and stumps, since rats usually have more than one way in. They look for droppings, gnaw marks and nesting material to work out how big the problem is before deciding between bait stations, traps or a mix of both. Photos of droppings or gnaw marks are useful if you have them, though they are not required before a visit is booked.
Once the inspection is done, the crew talks you through what they found and gives you a price before anything is placed. A return visit is usually part of the plan, so bait stations can be checked and topped up, or traps can be reset, until the activity in your Brisbane home has stopped.
