Rodent proofing is about closing the doors rats and mice use to get inside. Homes in Loganholme of every age have them. Older brick and timber homes develop gaps as timber shrinks, vents rust and ridge capping lifts. Newer homes have weep holes, gaps under roller doors and service holes around pipes and cables. A rat can fit through a gap about the size of a thumb, and a mouse through much less.
When you call, we ask about your home and any gaps you have noticed. We give you upfront pricing for an inspection and proofing, and book a nearby independent crew. They walk the outside of the house, check the roof cavity from inside and look at the subfloor or slab edges. Every gap is marked, then sealed with materials rodents struggle to chew through.
- Steel mesh over vents and open gaps in brickwork
- Weep hole covers that let air through but keep rodents out
- Metal or mesh at gaps along gutters, eaves and ridge capping
- Rodent-resistant filler around pipes and cables
- Seals and sweeps on garage, laundry and roller doors
Proofing works well once the rodents inside have been cleared, so the crew usually pairs it with trapping. Sealing rats in the roof would leave them trying to chew a new way out. The crew explains the order of work before starting.
Some fixes, like replacing rotten fascia boards, may need a builder or roofer, and the crew will point them out. To book rodent proofing for your Loganholme home, call 07 3543 7772 and we will arrange a local crew.
