Rat baiting is the most common way the crews we book bring a rat problem under control in Brisbane. It works well when rats are living in the roof, under the house or in the garden and moving between them each night. When you call, we ask where you have seen signs, give you an upfront price and book a nearby independent pest crew for the visit.
The crew starts by finding the paths the rats use. Rats tend to run along the same routes every night, hugging walls, fence lines and roof beams. Bait goes where it will be found, not scattered at random. Outside, it sits in lockable stations that children, dogs and cats cannot open. Inside the roof, bait blocks are secured to beams so rats cannot carry them off.
- Lockable bait stations placed along walls and fence lines
- Secured bait blocks in the roof space and wall voids
- Placement planned around children, pets and chooks
- A note of where each station sits so you can check it
- Bait uptake checked on a second visit when needed
Rats usually take the bait over two to five days, and activity drops away over the next week or two. The crew will explain what to look for, such as fewer noises at night and less bait missing from the stations. If rats keep coming back, the crew will look again at entry points and food sources around the yard.
Rat baiting across Brisbane is same-day or next-day where the run allows. Tell us about any pets or young children when you call 07 3543 7773 to book, and the crew we book can plan the bait placement around them.
