Rats or Mice in the Roof? Professional Rodent Control in Newcastle
Scratching in the roof at night means rodents have moved in. Rats and mice in the roof void chew wiring (a leading cause of house fires), contaminate insulation and spread disease. Quick action prevents rapid breeding.
The Problem
Rodents in the roof void gnaw constantly to wear down their teeth, damaging electrical wiring, plumbing and structural timber. They urinate and defecate wherever they travel, contaminating insulation. A single pair of mice can produce hundreds of descendants within months.
Our Solution
We inspect the roof void, identify activity and entry points, and develop a targeted control strategy using professional rodenticide baiting and monitoring points. We advise on sealing entry points to prevent re-infestation. Rodent treatment is a specialist treatment from $195.
