Trapping and baiting deal with the rats you have now. Rat proofing is about stopping the next lot from getting in. In Logan Central, plenty of homes have small gaps that have opened up over the years, from rusted vents to shrunken timber at the eaves. A rat only needs a gap about the width of a thumb, and a mouse far less.
When you call, we ask about your home and any gaps you have already spotted. We give you upfront pricing for an inspection and proofing, then book a nearby independent crew. They walk around the outside of the house, go up into the roof and check the subfloor or slab edges, marking every gap a rat could use. Then they seal them with materials rats cannot chew through easily.
- Steel mesh over wall vents and open weep holes
- Metal flashing or mesh at gaps where the gutter meets the roof
- Rodent-resistant filler around pipes and cables through walls
- Door sweeps under garage and laundry doors
- A list of any gaps you may want a builder or roofer to fix
Proofing works well once the rats inside have been dealt with, so the crew usually pairs it with trapping. Sealing rats in the roof would only leave them hunting for a new way out, which often means chewing. The crew explains the order of work before starting.
Not every gap needs a tradie. Some are as simple as a missing screen on a vent. The crew will point out the easy ones so you can decide what to do yourself. To book rat proofing for your home in Logan Central, call 07 3543 7773 and we will arrange a local crew.
