Rats and mice live along Kororoit Creek, the lakes and wetlands and the Ravenhall grasslands all year, and from April they move into the nearest warm building. On a Caroline Springs home that is usually the garage, through the gap under the roller door, and then the roof void. The streets backing onto the creek and the grasslands are the first to hear scratching at night, but by June the calls come from the whole estate.
We run a baiting program with lockable, tamper-resistant stations placed along the runs rodents use: the back fence nearest the water, behind the shed, in the garage and in the roof void. Stations are checked and refilled on a return visit so bait is not left out. The other half of the job is the entry, and on a slab home that is almost always the roller door gap or an unsealed penetration where the plumbing or air conditioning comes through. We tell you exactly what to seal.
