Rats and mice move into roof voids, subfloors and garages across Gold Coast as the weather cools or when a nearby block is cleared for building work, pushing them to look for a new place to shelter. Scratching in the ceiling at night, droppings in the pantry or a chewed cable are usually the first signs people notice.
When you call, we ask what you have heard or seen and where, which helps the crew we book work out likely entry points before they arrive. The visit usually covers the roof void, subfloor, garage, kitchen and any gaps around the roofline, eaves or pipework where rodents are getting in.
Older Gold Coast homes with timber subfloors and gaps under the eaves are particularly easy for rodents to access, while newer builds can still be at risk through gaps left around plumbing and air conditioning units. The crew we book will point out any obvious entry points while they are on site. If scratching noises continue after a visit, call again and the crew we book can come back to check further entry points. Ask about the timing of a check-up visit if the property backs onto a reserve, since rodents there tend to return more than once a year.
