Not every noise in the roof is a possum. Rats and mice are common in Brisbane homes, and they make a lighter, quicker scratching sound, often inside walls or along the edges of the ceiling. You may also notice small droppings in cupboards, chewed food packets or gnaw marks on timber and cables.
When you call, we ask what you are seeing and hearing so we can tell whether it sounds more like rats or possums. We give you upfront pricing and book a local crew in Mount Gravatt. The crew inspects the roof, subfloor, kitchen and laundry to find where the rodents are living and how they are getting in. Rats can squeeze through a gap about the width of a thumb, and mice need even less room.
The crew then places bait stations or traps in the roof and other spots away from children and pets. They point out gaps around pipes, vents and doors, and can close them with mesh or other fillers so fewer rodents find their way in. A second visit is often booked to check the stations and see how the numbers have dropped.

Rodents tend to move indoors in the cooler months across Mount Gravatt, and a small problem grows quickly. The sooner the crew finds the entry points, the smaller the job tends to be, and the less chewing there is to deal with. Call 07 3543 7764 to book rodent removal.
