Rats around North Lakes usually move indoors looking for a dry place to nest and an easy source of food, often through the roof void, garage, subfloor or gaps around pipes and vents. Scratching noises at night, droppings along skirting boards or gnawed packaging in the pantry are common signs. Compost bins, chicken coops and pet food left out overnight are all common attractants in North Lakes backyards, so checking these spots is often part of working out how a rat is getting fed.
The crew we book will check likely entry points around the roofline, eaves, vents and subfloor, along with signs of activity inside cupboards, the garage and any stored boxes. Depending on what they find, they may use bait stations, traps or a mix of both, and will talk you through the plan before starting.
Homes in North Lakes near creeks, reserves or with fruit trees in the yard tend to see more rat activity, since these spots offer food and cover close to the house. Keeping garden waste and fallen fruit cleared can help, though a visit from the crew we book is a straightforward way to deal with an active problem. Trimming back branches that touch the roofline and storing firewood off the ground away from the house both make it a little harder for rats to find a way in.
