Rodent proofing looks at a home as a whole rather than just the spot where activity has been seen, checking the usual small gaps rats and mice use around pipes, vents, eaves, garage doors and where different building materials meet. This suits homes in Northern Brisbane that have had a rat or mouse problem before, or homes near parks, creek lines or neighbours that have had possum activity before.
The crew walks the outside of the house first, checking gaps under doors, around air conditioning pipes, gaps where render meets timber and any spot where a cable or pipe passes through an external wall. Inside, the crew checks the roof space and any wall cavities that can be accessed, looking for gaps that line up with signs of activity found during the check.
Once the weak points are mapped, the crew fits mesh, sealant or brush strips depending on the gap and where it sits, chosen so doors and vents still work normally afterwards. Homes across Northern Brisbane built at different times often have a mix of gap types, from older timber gaps to newer render cracks, so the crew checks each material separately.
- Full walk around check of external gaps and entry points
- Roof space and accessible wall cavities checked
- Mesh, sealant or brush strips fitted depending on the gap
- Doors, vents and pipes checked to make sure they still work properly
- Upfront pricing before any proofing work starts
Proofing is often booked alongside a rat or mouse removal job once the current activity has been cleared, so the same visit can cover both the removal work and the longer-term proofing without a second callout later on.
