Rats and mice move into roof spaces, wall cavities, garages and sheds across the Gold Coast, especially when the weather cools or food is easy to find. Common signs are scratching in the ceiling at night, droppings in the pantry, chewed food packets and gnawed wiring. Homes near canals, creeks, fruit trees and palms tend to see more activity, as rats use them for food and shelter.
When you call, we ask where you hear or see signs and whether you have pets, then book a nearby independent crew with upfront pricing. The crew looks for where rodents are getting in and where they are nesting, then sets up baiting or trapping to suit the home. A rodent visit can include:
- An inspection of the roof space, garage and outside walls
- Lockable bait stations placed away from children and pets
- Traps where baiting is not suitable, such as pantries
- Pointing out gaps around pipes, eaves and vents
- A check of sheds, bin areas and under decks
- Advice on food storage, fallen fruit and pet food
Rodents are cautious, so it can take a week or two before they start taking bait. The crew will explain what to watch for and whether a check back visit is worth booking, with the price given upfront. Sealing entry points after the numbers drop helps keep new rats and mice from moving in. In unit blocks, the building may need to treat shared areas such as bin rooms and car parks.
To book rodent control on the Gold Coast, call 07 3543 7770. Tell us whether you are hearing noises, finding droppings or both, and we will give you upfront pricing and book a local team. Rodent control can be booked on the same visit as wasp or ant work.
