Baiting deals with the rats and mice already inside, but if the gaps they used are still open, new ones can move in. Rodent proofing closes up those entry points. It suits homes in Collingwood Park that have had rodents more than once, or where the noise came back after an earlier treatment. It is common with brick homes that have open weep holes, gaps along the roof line or air conditioning lines run through the wall.
When you call, we ask about the home, where you have heard or seen rodents and whether it has been baited recently. We give you upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew. The crew we book walks around the outside of the home and through the roof void, looking for the small gaps that rodents squeeze through. A mouse can fit through a gap about the width of a pencil, so it pays to look closely.
Rodent proofing work can include:
- Steel mesh fitted over open weep holes and wall vents
- Gaps around pipes, cables and air conditioning lines filled with rodent-resistant sealant
- Gaps at the eaves and roof line checked and closed off
- Mesh or covers on downpipes and gaps under garage doors
- Checks of sheds and carports next to the house
Proofing works well alongside a baiting treatment, and many people in Collingwood Park book both at once. Trimming tree branches back from the roof and keeping rubbish bins closed also makes the home less inviting. The crew will show you what was sealed so you can keep an eye on those spots over time. To book rodent proofing, call 07 3543 7765 and we will line up a local team.
