Rodent Proofing in Newcastle
Rodents enter homes through gaps as small as a 20-cent coin. Our rodent proofing service seals entry points — pipes, vents, roof access, subfloor gaps and construction joints — to keep rats and mice out.
The Problem
Rodents can squeeze through gaps as small as 20 cents for mice and a 50-cent coin for rats. They enter through gaps around pipes, utility penetrations, roof void access, subfloor vents and construction joints. Without sealing these, rodents will re-enter after treatment.
Our Solution
We inspect for rodent entry points, seal gaps and cracks, install rodent-proof vent covers, proof roof access and subfloor entry points, and advise on reducing attractants. Rodent proofing is the most effective long-term rodent prevention.

FAQ
Rodent Proofing — your questions answered
How much does rodent proofing cost?+
Rodent proofing is quoted based on the property and the extent of exclusion required. We inspect, identify entry points, and provide a tailored quote for proofing work.
Can rodents get through small gaps?+
Yes. Mice can squeeze through gaps as small as 20 cents, and rats through gaps as small as a 50-cent coin. We seal even small gaps to prevent rodent entry.
Do I need rodent proofing if I don't have rodents?+
Rodent proofing is preventive — it stops rodents entering before they become a problem. If you've had rodents before, or live in an area with rodent pressure, proofing prevents re-infestation.
