Rats and mice are most active in North Lakes once the nights cool down, although they can turn up at any time of year. Scratching in the ceiling at night, droppings in the pantry or garage, chewed food packaging and gnawed cables are the usual signs. Rodents only need a small gap to get inside, and roof spaces, garages and wall cavities give them warm shelter close to food.
The crew we book starts with an inspection to find where rodents are travelling and nesting. They look at the roof void, garage, under the kitchen sink, around hot water systems, air conditioning pipes and anywhere cables or plumbing pass through a wall. They then place tamper-resistant bait stations or traps in the right spots, keeping them away from children and pets. Where they find obvious gaps, they will point them out so they can be sealed with steel mesh or filler.
Most rodent jobs need a return check to replace bait and see how activity is dropping off. The crew will explain how many visits are likely and what each one costs before anything goes ahead. In the meantime, keep pet food and grain in sealed containers, clear clutter from the garage and trim trees and vines that touch the roof, since rats often use them to reach the eaves.
