The kitchen is where most mouse problems in Brisbane are first noticed. Mice are drawn to crumbs, pet food, fruit bowls and open packets, and the warm space behind the fridge and dishwasher makes a perfect nest. Common signs include droppings in the cutlery drawer, nibbled bread bags and a musty smell in the pantry. Mice may also chew through plastic tubs and cardboard boxes on pantry shelves. When you call, we give you an upfront price and book a nearby independent pest crew.
The crew we book pulls out appliances where they can and checks behind them, then works through the pantry, under the sink and inside the kickboard space. Kitchen kickboards often hide a gap large enough for mice to run the full length of the cabinets without being seen. The crew places bait stations and traps in these out-of-sight spaces, away from food prep areas.

- Gaps around sink pipes and gas lines sealed
- Pantry shelves checked for chewed packets and nests

- Clean-up tips for droppings on benches and in drawers
While the treatment works, keep all food in sealed tubs, wipe benches each night and put pet bowls away before bed. This takes away the easy meals and makes the bait or traps far more tempting. Throw out any food mice may have touched. Wash drawers and shelves where you found droppings with hot, soapy water, wearing gloves.
