Rat removal is the main job we book in Mount Gravatt. Most people call after a few nights of running and scratching above the ceiling, or after finding droppings along the kitchen bench or in the garage. Some notice chewed fruit on the trees or a hole dug beside the back step. When you call, we ask what you have seen and heard, give you an upfront price, and book a nearby independent pest crew to come out.
The crew we book starts with an inspection. They head into the roof void with a torch, check the kitchen, laundry and garage, and walk around the outside of the house. They look for droppings, rub marks, gnaw marks, nests and the paths rats use to get in. From there they choose how to deal with the rats in your home.
- Snap traps set along the runs rats use in the roof void
- Lockable bait stations placed inside and around the yard
- Advice on fruit trees, compost and pet food that draw rats in
- A list of gaps and entry points worth closing
- A check-back visit where the crew thinks it is needed, priced upfront
Rats are wary of new things, so it can take several nights before they take bait or go near a trap. Noise in the roof often drops within a week or two. If a rat dies somewhere the crew cannot reach, there may be a smell for a short time. Keep pets away from bait stations and leave traps where the crew set them.
