Rat and Mouse Control in Tugun is often what people end up booking when they first thought they had a possum. Rats and mice are lighter, so the sounds are softer and quicker: scratching, scurrying and gnawing that can go on through much of the night. Small dark droppings in the pantry, chewed food packets and gnawed cables in the roof or garage are other clues.
The crew we book starts by finding where the rodents are living and how they are getting inside. They check the roof space, garage, kitchen, laundry and the spots where pipes and cables enter the walls. Baits are placed in locked bait boxes in the roof and in spots that children and pets cannot reach. If you would rather not use bait, snap traps can be set instead.

Rats and mice breed quickly, especially in warm, humid weather near the coast. Fruit trees, compost bins and pet food left outside all draw them in. Baiting deals with the rodents already there, while sealing gaps stops new ones arriving, so many people book both together.
Picking up fallen fruit and keeping bins closed helps keep numbers down between visits. We book rat and mouse control across Tugun with upfront pricing. Call 07 3543 7768, tell us where you are hearing or seeing signs, and we will book a local crew.
