Common question
How do you get rid of rats in a roof?
Rats are removed by combining baiting with exclusion. We find the runways, droppings and entry points, install lockable tamper-resistant stations where children and pets can't reach, then give you a written proofing list - gaps, eave junctions, weep holes, pipe penetrations - because baiting alone leaves the door open for the next rat.
01What you notice
Everybody notices the noise first - that scurry across the ceiling right above the bed, always at the worst hour. What they don't see is the rest of it: chewed wiring in the roof void, shredded and soiled insulation, contaminated dust dropping through downlights, and droppings behind the pantry.
02Why it keeps coming back
Rodents cost far more than the sleep they take. Gnawed cabling is a genuine fire risk, contaminated insulation eventually needs replacement, and rats carry pathogens through the same roof space that feeds air into your home. Meanwhile a supermarket snap trap in the ceiling catches one rat out of a population that is already breeding.
03How we solve it
We treat it as two jobs at once. First, control: locate the runways, rub marks, droppings and nesting areas, then install lockable tamper-resistant stations positioned where rodents actually travel and where children and pets can never reach them. Second - the part most operators skip - exclusion: every entry point identified and written into a proofing list, from eave junctions and weep holes to pipe penetrations, roller-door seals and broken tile lines.
