Scratching in the ceiling at night is one of the most common rodent calls we take in Noosa. Rats and mice move into roof spaces, wall cavities and sheds when the weather cools or when food is easy to find nearby. We ask what you are hearing and seeing, give you upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew.
Around the coast, roof rats are a common visitor. They are good climbers and use palm trees, overhanging branches, fences and power lines to reach the roof. Mice tend to come in at ground level through gaps under doors, around pipes and in the garage. Signs include droppings in the pantry or roof void, chewed packaging, gnawed cables and greasy marks along skirting boards.
The crew inspects the roof space, garage and outside of the home to find where rodents are travelling and nesting. They place secured bait stations in the right spots, out of reach of children and pets, and check likely entry points. They can point out gaps you may want sealed, and trees or vines that give rats an easy path onto the roof.

Rodent activity usually settles over one to two weeks as the bait takes effect, and you may hear less movement in the ceiling each night.
