Rodent proofing is about closing the doors rats and mice use to get into your home. Baiting and trapping deal with the rodents already inside, but if the gaps stay open, new ones move in. In Brisbane, the crews we book often find gaps under eaves, around pipes and cables, beside air conditioner lines and under doors. When you call, we give you an upfront price and book a nearby independent pest crew.
The crew walks around the home and through the roof space to find each entry point. A rat can squeeze through a gap about the size of a thumb, and a mouse through one the width of a pencil, so small holes matter. They seal them with the right material for the spot, rather than just filling them with foam that rodents chew straight through.
- Steel mesh fitted over vents and larger gaps
- Sealant and steel wool packed around pipes and cables
- Door sweeps or brush strips for gaps under doors
- Gaps under eaves and roof edges closed off
- Weep holes in brick walls covered with mesh inserts
Proofing is most useful alongside baiting or trapping, so any rodents still inside are dealt with before the home is sealed. The crew will tell you which gaps they have closed and which ones may need a builder or plumber, such as rotten timber or a broken roof tile. They can also show you what to keep an eye on over the coming months, like new chew marks near sealed spots.
Rodent proofing across Brisbane is same-day or next-day where the run allows. Call 07 3543 7773 to book, or to ask what the job would involve for your home.
