Not every noise in the roof is a possum. Rats and mice are common in Inner Brisbane roof spaces, especially in older homes near parks, creeks and busy food strips. Rat noise is lighter than possum noise, more of a scratching and scurrying, and it can go on all night. You might also find small droppings in the pantry, chewed packaging or gnawed wiring. We take the details and book a nearby independent crew who handles rodent work alongside possum jobs.
The crew we book inspects the roof space, subfloor and kitchen to find where the rodents are getting in and where they are nesting. Roof rats often climb trees and use overhanging branches, while mice squeeze through gaps around pipes and under doors. The crew places baits in lockable stations in the roof space and outside, positioned away from children and pets. A second visit to check the stations is sometimes needed, and the crew will tell you if so.
Many of the same gaps that let possums in also let rats in, so rodent work fits well with roof sealing and branch trimming. The crew will point out anything that is feeding the problem, such as fallen fruit, open compost or pet food left out, and show you which entry points to seal once numbers drop. Homes in Inner Brisbane close to restaurants and laneways often see more rats.
