Mouse proofing closes the small gaps that let mice into your home. A mouse can squeeze through a hole about the width of a pencil, so homes in Brisbane that look sealed often have dozens of ways in. Baiting and trapping deal with the mice already inside, and proofing stops the next lot. When you call, we give you an upfront price and book a nearby independent pest crew.
The crew we book checks the outside walls, doors, weep holes, eaves, garage and roof space, then works through the kitchen, laundry and bathrooms. The most common gaps are where pipes and cables pass through walls, under garage roller doors, behind kitchen kickboards and around air conditioner lines. Each gap gets a material that mice cannot chew straight through.
- Steel wool and sealant packed around pipes and cables
- Fine mesh over weep holes and vents
- Door sweeps and brush strips on doors and roller doors
- Kickboard gaps closed off in kitchens and laundries
- Gaps under eaves and at roof edges sealed
Proofing makes the most sense once the mice inside are dealt with, so they are not sealed in with no way out. Older timber homes often need more work than brick homes, as boards shrink and gaps open over time. The crew will tell you which gaps they closed and which ones need a builder, plumber or electrician. They also show you where to look for fresh chew marks in the months after.
Mouse proofing across Brisbane is same-day or next-day where the run allows. Call 07 3543 7772 to book, or to ask what proofing would involve in your home.
