Rats and mice are a common problem in Sunnybank in the cooler months, when they move into roof spaces, wall cavities, garages and sheds for warmth. Brown rats, roof rats and house mice are the usual visitors. Signs include scratching in the ceiling at night, droppings in cupboards or the garage, chewed food packets and grease marks along the paths they use. Pet food left out and fruit trees in the yard can draw them in.
The crew we book starts by finding where the rodents are living and how they are getting in. They place baits in the roof space and in lockable stations outside, and may set traps in garages or cupboards. They also point out gaps around pipes, roof edges and doors that could be sealed to keep new rodents out. Most visits take about an hour.

Before the visit, move stored items away from the roof hatch and clear space in the garage so the crew can reach the corners. Keep pet food inside overnight and pick up fallen fruit. Tell us about your pets when you book so the crew can plan where baits go, and ask your vet if you have any concerns. If anyone in the home has health concerns, please ask a doctor.
Rodent control can be booked on its own or added to a flea control visit in Sunnybank. Some jobs need a second visit to replace baits, and that is priced upfront too. We will explain the options before anything is booked. Call 07 3543 7773 for upfront pricing.
