Hearing Rats or Mice? Start Here

Most Mount Gravatt East rodent calls begin with scratching overhead a little after dark, or droppings tucked behind the pantry tins.

A few changes now keep the household safe and help the program finish sooner.

  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 Mount Gravatt East

Rodents leave plenty of clues. These are the ones Mount Gravatt East homes report most.

"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.

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

Most homes are clear in two to three weeks. Here is how we get there.

  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 Mount Gravatt East

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 Mount Gravatt East 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 Mount Gravatt East?

Termites, possums and spiders are the regular calls, with bushland bringing wildlife close.

What should Mount Gravatt East homeowners look out for?

The things we find most often around Mount Gravatt East are termites in stumps and fences, possums from the bushland around the mountain, spiders around decks and windows and roof rats in winter. Mount Gravatt East homes near the bush should keep firewood off the ground and away from the house.

How much does rat control cost in Mount Gravatt East?

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 Mount Gravatt East 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 Mount Gravatt East?

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