Rats use many of the same gaps as possums to get into a roof space, along with smaller openings around pipes, vents and gaps under eaves that a possum could not fit through. If you are hearing lighter scratching or scurrying rather than heavy thumping, it is worth mentioning this when you call so the crew comes prepared for a rat job rather than a possum job.
The crew checks the roof space, subfloor and any gaps around the outside of the house in Northern Brisbane, looking for droppings, gnaw marks and the smaller entry points rats prefer. Kitchens, garages and areas near fruit trees or compost bins often show the first signs of activity, so the crew checks these areas along with the roof.
Once the entry points are found, the crew works through clearing the roof or subfloor space and sealing the gaps being used, since rats can fit through openings far smaller than most people expect. Homes in Northern Brisbane with gaps around eaves, vents or a gap under the garage door are common starting points for a rat problem.
- Roof, subfloor and yard checked for rat activity
- Entry points found and measured against typical rat sized gaps
- Droppings and gnaw marks checked to confirm the problem
- Gaps sealed once the roof or subfloor space is clear
- Upfront pricing given before any work starts
Yards with chicken coops, aviaries or stored pet food tend to see more rat activity, so the crew checks these areas alongside the roof and subfloor if you mention them on the call. Sealing entry points near these spots is often just as important as the roof work itself.
