Rats and mice can get through much smaller gaps than a possum, and many homes in Graceville have plenty of them. Light, quick scratching at night, chewed insulation and small dark droppings are the usual signs. Rodent proofing closes those gaps so rodents cannot get inside in the first place. We book an independent crew who works nearby, with upfront pricing given on the phone.
The crew we book checks the places rodents use most. These include gaps around pipes and cables, weep holes in brick walls, gaps under garage and laundry doors, openings under high-set homes, and gaps where the roof meets the walls. A mouse can squeeze through a gap about the width of a pencil, so the crew looks closely.
Each gap is closed with a material rodents cannot chew through, such as steel mesh, metal plates or cement-based filler. Weep holes get vented covers so the walls can still breathe, and door sweeps go on gaps under doors. The crew also checks the roof line for larger gaps a possum could use, so both problems are covered in one visit. Firewood, old boxes and garden waste stacked against the walls give rodents shelter right beside the house, so the crew will point these out as well. Gaps are closed from the outside wherever possible.
