Rats are the most common rodent call we take from Loganholme. Most people notice them first as scratching in the ceiling at night, a smell in the pantry or a dark shape running along the fence at dusk. Some find chewed fruit on the lawn or droppings in the garage. When you call, we ask where you are seeing signs and give you upfront pricing, then book a nearby independent crew.
On the visit, the crew we book works out which type of rat you have and where it lives. Roof rats nest up high and come in from trees and fences. Norway rats burrow at ground level, under sheds, slabs and garden beds. Working out the type tells the crew where traps and bait stations will work, so they check the roof cavity, walls, garage and yard before setting anything.
- Roof cavity, garage, kitchen and yard inspected
- Traps placed on the runways the rats are using
- Lockable bait stations secured outside near burrows and fences
- Entry points found, marked and shown to you
- Advice on removing food and cover from the yard
Rats are wary of new things, so the first night may not catch them all. The crew may suggest a return visit to clear any catches, move traps that have not been touched and refill stations. That is priced when you book, so there are no surprises later. Clearing fallen fruit, closing bins and moving pet food indoors at night also helps the traps do their job.
If rats are keeping you awake in Loganholme, call 07 3543 7772. We will book a local crew to track them down and show you how they got in.
