The roof cavity is where most rodent trouble in Loganholme ends up. It is warm, dry, quiet and full of insulation to nest in. Roof rats climb up trees, fences and downpipes and slip in where the gutter meets the roof, through gaps at the eaves or under lifted ridge capping. Mice can come up from wall cavities. Once inside, they run along the beams at night, which is the scratching and thumping you hear.
When you call us, we ask where the noise is loudest and at what time of night. We give you upfront pricing, then book a nearby independent crew. They go up through the manhole and look for nests, droppings, runways and damage to cables and ducting. Traps go along the beams and wall plates where the rodents travel, and bait stations may go outside on the climbing routes.
- Roof cavity inspected for nests, droppings and runways
- Traps set on beams and wall plates
- Chewed cables and ducting pointed out for repair
- Gaps at eaves, gutters, ridge capping and vents marked
- Branches and vines touching the roof noted for trimming
Removing the rodents is only half the job. If the gaps stay open, new rats will find the same way in. The crew can quote sealing on the day, and will show you which branches or vines to cut back so rats lose their bridge onto the roof.
Many homes in Loganholme have big trees and palms close to the roofline. If you are hearing noises above the ceiling, call 07 3543 7772 and we will book a crew to get into the roof.
