Light pattering or scratching in the ceiling at night is a common call in Brisbane. Mice climb brick walls, downpipes and vines, then slip in under the eaves or through gaps around the roof. Some also reach the roof from the garage, where the wall meets the ceiling. Once inside, they nest in the insulation and move down through wall cavities to reach the kitchen. When you call, we give you an upfront price and book a nearby independent pest crew.
The crew we book goes up into the roof space with a torch to look for droppings, nests in the insulation, runs through the dust and chewed wiring. They then check the outside of the home for the way in, such as gaps under the eaves, loose roof tiles, broken ridge capping and holes where cables and pipes pass through the wall.
- Bait stations secured in the roof space
- Traps set on runs along beams and wall plates
- Gaps under eaves and around roof edges sealed
- Chewed wiring pointed out for an electrician to check
- Vines and branches touching the roof flagged for trimming
Noises in the roof usually drop off within one to two weeks of treatment. Rats can sound similar, so the crew checks droppings to confirm which one you have. The crew will explain what you might hear during that time and when to call back if activity continues. Keeping vines off the walls and branches away from the roof line helps stop mice climbing back up.
Roof cavity mouse control across Brisbane is same-day or next-day where the run allows. Call 07 3543 7772 to book, and tell us where in the ceiling you hear noises.
