Rats and mice in New Farm often move into roof voids, subfloors and wall cavities once the weather cools, chewing through insulation, wiring and stored items along the way. Rodent control starts with a check for entry points, droppings, gnaw marks and noise reports, then works out whether the problem is rats, mice or both, since the approach differs slightly.
The crew we book seals obvious entry points where practical, sets bait stations in roof voids and other spots away from kids and pets, and places traps in areas with clear activity such as kitchens, pantries or subfloor access points. In New Farm older homes with underfloor space, subfloor access often needs checking alongside the roof.
Bait stations are checked and refilled on repeat visits until activity drops off, and the crew will tell you roughly how many visits a typical job in your area needs. Ongoing prevention, such as keeping food sealed and gaps blocked, is covered as part of the visit as well.
Noise in the roof at night, chewed packaging in the pantry or droppings along a skirting board are usually the first sign for New Farm households, often noticed once the weather cools and rodents look for a warmer spot indoors. Acting early tends to mean a smaller job, since numbers build up quickly once a roof void becomes a regular nesting spot.
