Possums are not the only thing that uses the roof. Rats and mice get into homes through much smaller gaps, and they often use the same roof line. Rats and mice also chew wiring, which is a good reason not to leave them. If you hear light scratching or scurrying in the ceiling or walls of your Morayfield home, call us. We give you upfront pricing on the phone and book a nearby independent crew to find and seal the gaps.
The crew we book checks the places rodents use to get in. A mouse can fit through a gap about the width of a pencil, so the crew looks closely at weep holes, gaps around pipes and cables, the bottom of garage doors, vents, roof tile edges and the joins between walls and roofs. Chewed insulation, droppings and grease marks along beams show where they travel.
Gaps are sealed with fine steel mesh, rodent-resistant sealant, brush strips and door seals, depending on the spot. Weep holes are fitted with mesh covers so the wall can still breathe. If a possum is using the roof as well, the crew can proof for both on the same visit. The crew shows you each sealed gap before they leave.
- Weep holes fitted with mesh covers
- Pipe and cable holes sealed
- Garage door and entry gaps closed
- Roof tile edges and vents meshed
- Wall and roof joins sealed
Homes near bushland, creeks and paddocks around Morayfield tend to see more rats and mice in the cooler months. Sheds and garages near the house are worth checking too. To book rodent proofing, call 07 3543 7770 and tell us where you hear the noise and whether you have seen droppings.
