Hearing scratching or scurrying in the ceiling at night is the most common sign of rats or mice in Kawana. Canal homes, beachside houses with tall palms and properties close to bushland all see rodents, especially from autumn onwards when the nights start to cool. We ask what you are hearing and seeing, give you upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew.
Roof rats are agile climbers. They run along power lines, fences, palm fronds and overhanging branches to reach gutters and gaps in the roofline. Around the canals, they also shelter under pontoons, in boat sheds and in thick waterfront plants. Mice tend to come in at ground level, through gaps under garage doors, around pipes and through weep holes. Droppings, chewed packaging, gnawed wiring and a musty smell are all common signs.
The crew inspects the roof void, garage and outside of the home, then places secured bait stations where rodents are travelling, out of reach of children and pets. They look for entry points and can suggest gaps to seal and palms or branches to trim back from the roof. Activity usually drops away over one to two weeks, and the crew will tell you what signs to watch for in that time. Keep pets away from the bait stations.
