Rodent proofing is about closing the doors rats and mice use to get into your home. Rats can squeeze through a gap the width of a thumb, and mice through one the width of a pencil. Every home has a few such gaps, and they open up further as timber shrinks and weather takes its toll. Proofing is often booked alongside removal in Caloundra, but it can also be booked on its own.
The crew we book walks around the outside of the home and through the roof space to find every gap a rodent could use. They look under eaves, around roof vents, where pipes and cables go through walls, behind hot water systems, around air conditioning lines and along the bottom of garage doors. Each gap is noted, and many can be sealed on the same visit.
- Mesh fitted over gaps under the eaves
- Covers for broken or open roof vents
- Gaps around pipes and cables filled and sealed
- Brush strips for the bottom of garage and roller doors
- Advice on branches and palms that touch the roof
Proofing is most useful once any rats already inside have been dealt with, so they are not trapped in the roof. The crew will explain the order of work and the price for each part before they start. For larger jobs, the work can be split across more than one visit. You will get a list of what was sealed and where, so you can keep an eye on those spots.
Proofing suits older beachside homes, canal homes, new estate homes and acreage properties in Caloundra and nearby. Tell us about any areas you have already sealed. Call 07 3543 7766 for upfront pricing on rodent proofing.
