Rats in the roof? Same day visits

Rat & Mouse Control Currumbin

Currumbin is a beachside suburb at the mouth of Currumbin Creek, home to the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary. Our rat and mouse program for Currumbin homes finds where they get in, removes them with locked bait stations and traps, and seals the gaps they were using.

Bait only goes in locked stations that children, pets and wildlife cannot open.

  • Locked, tamper-resistant stations
  • Traps in roofs and kitchens
  • Entry points sealed
  • Follow-up visit included

Hearing Rats or Mice? Start Here

Heard something small and fast in the ceiling of your Currumbin home? Rats and mice move in quickly once the nights cool.

These simple steps make the treatment work faster.

  1. 1

    Lock the food away

    Pantry food, pet food and bird seed into sealed tubs. Bin anything with chew marks.

  2. 2

    Clean droppings wet, not dry

    Wear gloves, spray droppings with disinfectant and wipe them up. Sweeping or vacuuming raises dust.

  3. 3

    Skip the loose bait

    Supermarket bait can be carried off and eaten by pets, children or native animals.

  4. 4

    Note the time and place

    Which room, which wall and what time. It tells the technician where to look first.

  5. Then call us on 07 3916 7673. Answered day and night, with same day visits on most days.

Rat and Mouse Problems in Currumbin

Rodents are rarely seen in daylight. These are the clues Currumbin households usually find first.

"Running in the ceiling at night"

Light, quick footsteps after dark usually mean roof rats nesting in the insulation.

"Droppings in the cutlery drawer"

Rat droppings are 10 to 20 mm long, mouse droppings rice-sized. Either way, the food nearby goes in the bin.

"The car will not start"

Rats chew wiring in engine bays as well as in roofs and walls. Chewed cables are a fire risk.

"Greasy marks along the beam"

Dark smears show the run rats use every night, which is exactly where traps and stations go.

"A musty smell in the cupboard"

Urine and nesting give off a stale, musky smell, often noticed by pets first.

"Rats at the chook pen"

Chicken feed, fallen fruit and compost feed rats all year. The nest is often under the shed or deck.

Know what you are dealing with

Roof Rat or House Mouse?

Each needs a slightly different plan. Size and droppings are the easiest way to tell.

Roof Rat or House Mouse?

Body length 15 to 20 cm, with a tail longer than the body 7 to 10 cm, with small ears and feet
Droppings 10 to 20 mm, spindle shaped 3 to 6 mm, rice shaped
Favourite spots Roof voids, palms, trees and upper floors Walls, kitchens, pantries and garages
Noise Heavier running and gnawing overhead Light scratching in walls and cupboards
With bait Suspicious of new things, can take a week Curious, usually feeds within days
Breeding Several litters a year Every few weeks when food is easy

Start Before the Weather Cools

Rats around the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, Currumbin Creek and Currumbin Alley breed all year. A program started early is shorter and easier on the house.

Local conditions

Why Rats and Mice Find Currumbin Homes

Rodent calls rise every autumn across South East Queensland, but the mild winters mean breeding never really stops.

Local Notes for Currumbin

Currumbin (QLD 4223) is part of Gold Coast, about 87 km from the Brisbane CBD, and it is on our regular run. Older beach houses, new homes and apartments, with bush blocks on the hills.

Termites, possums and ants are the regular calls in Currumbin.

In Currumbin we check the roof void, subfloor and garage, and walk the yard: fruit trees, sheds, chook pens and compost bins are often where it starts. Currumbin homes on bush blocks should trim trees back from the roof to keep possums off.

What to watch for around Currumbin

  • Termites in older beach houses
  • Possums from the bushland
  • Coastal brown ants in sandy soil
  • Cockroaches after rain

The yard feeds them

Fruit trees, palm seeds, chook feed, compost and pet bowls left outside keep rats fed. Most rat problems start outdoors.

The roof keeps them warm

As nights cool, rats and mice move into roof voids, wall cavities and garages and keep breeding inside.

Gaps everywhere

Open subfloors, lifted roof sheets and pipe and cable holes give dozens of ways in. A mouse fits through a pencil-sized gap.

What is at stake

Why Rodents Need Dealing With Now

Rats and mice do not stay put. A season left alone turns into repairs and a health problem.

01

Chewed wiring

Cable damage in roofs and walls can cause shorts and fires.

02

Contaminated food

Droppings and urine carry bacteria such as salmonella and leptospira.

03

Rapid breeding

Mice breed every few weeks, so numbers jump quickly.

04

Smells and nests

Nests in insulation, urine smells and the odour if one dies in a wall.

How it works

How We Clear Rats and Mice

Inspect, remove, proof and follow up. One price covers the program.

  1. 1

    Inspection

    Where rodents live, feed and get in, and which species they are.

  2. 2

    Program price

    One price covering the program and the follow-up visit.

  3. 3

    Stations and traps

    Placed along the runs in the roof, subfloor, garage and yard.

  4. 4

    Proofing

    Gaps sealed on the day where possible, the rest listed for a builder or roofer.

  5. 5

    Follow-up

    Stations checked, reachable carcasses removed, activity confirmed stopped.

Check before baiting

Native rodents, antechinus and possums are protected and easily mistaken for pest rats. We identify what is there before any bait goes out.

Pricing

Rodent Control Prices in Currumbin

A few mice in a unit is a short job. Rats living in the roof and the yard need a full program. These things set the price.

Call 07 3916 7673 Get a quote

What sets the price

  • Property size. More roof space, outbuildings and yard mean more stations.

  • How long they have been there. A new problem clears faster than a colony that has bred for months.

  • Proofing. A few pipe gaps are simple. Bigger roof or subfloor work is priced separately.

  • Home or business. Commercial programs with mapped stations are priced per site.

You get an upfront price once the technician has seen the job, and that is the price you pay. No hidden costs.

Questions

Rat & Mouse Control Currumbin FAQs

What people ask us most before they book.

Ask us something else

Are the baits safe around kids and pets?

Bait is placed inside locked, tamper-resistant stations that a child or dog cannot open, and out of reach. In roof voids and kitchens we often use traps instead. Let us know about pets when you book.

What pests are most common in Currumbin?

Termites, possums and ants are the regular calls in Currumbin.

What should Currumbin homeowners look out for?

The things we find most often around Currumbin are termites in older beach houses, possums from the bushland, coastal brown ants in sandy soil and cockroaches after rain. Currumbin homes on bush blocks should trim trees back from the roof to keep possums off.

How much does rat control cost in Currumbin?

It depends on the size of the property, how long the rodents have been there and how much proofing is needed. You get one price for the whole program, follow-up included, before any work starts.

How quickly will they be gone?

Mice usually feed within days. Rats are wary and can take a week to start. Most Currumbin homes are clear in two to three weeks.

Will one die in the roof and smell?

It can happen, though most leave to find water. If one dies somewhere we can reach, we remove it at the follow-up. Traps in the roof reduce the risk.

How do I stop them coming back?

Take away food and close the gaps: sealed tubs for pet food and seed, fallen fruit picked up, compost in a closed bin, branches trimmed back from the roof and entry points proofed.

Do you work with businesses in Currumbin?

Yes. We set up rodent programs with mapped stations and service records for cafes, shops, warehouses, offices and strata properties.
