Possums are not the only animals that move into roofs. Rats and mice often share the same roof space, especially in winter, and their gnawing and scratching can keep you awake just as much. Chewed cables in a roof can also be a fire risk, so it pays to act early. We book independent crews across Annerley for rat and mouse removal, with upfront pricing given on the phone before the visit.
The crew starts by working out what you have. Rat droppings are dark and about the size of a grain of rice or larger, and mouse droppings are smaller. They check the roof space, wall cavities, kitchen cupboards and the area around hot water systems and pipes, where rats often travel. Then they set baits in lockable stations or traps in the roof space.
Sealing is the other half of the job. Rats can fit through gaps much smaller than a possum needs, so the crew closes holes around pipes, cables and roof edges with mesh and metal. The crew may suggest a second visit to check the baits and remove any traps. If you also have a possum in the roof, both jobs can be done in the same visit.
