Not every noise in the ceiling is a possum. Light, quick scratching late at night, droppings the size of a grain of rice and chewed cables or insulation usually point to rats or mice. Homes near bushland, creeks and chicken coops around Redland often see more of them in the cooler months, when they move indoors looking for warmth and food.
The crew we book starts by looking through the roof space, the kitchen and any sheds or garages to find where the rodents are living and how they are getting in. They set bait stations or traps in lockable boxes placed out of reach of children and pets, then seal the gaps rodents are using around pipes, vents and eaves.

Rats and mice can squeeze through much smaller gaps than possums, so sealing is a big part of the job. The crew will also point out things around the yard that draw rodents in, such as fallen fruit, open compost bins or pet food left outside overnight.
You get an upfront price for the visit when you call, and any return check is priced separately so you only pay for what you choose. If you are hearing scratching in the walls or roof at your home in Redland, call 07 3543 7769 and we will book a local crew to take a look.
