Rats and mice in Broadmeadows come from the creek corridors, the rail line and the industrial land, and from May onward they move into roof voids, subfloors and garages. The older homes with timber floors and open vents are the easiest for them to get into, and the townhouses with shared roof spaces let them travel between neighbours. If you are hearing scratching after dark, finding droppings in the pantry or smelling something in the ceiling, it is rodents.
Our rodent program uses lockable, tamper-resistant bait stations placed along the runs rodents actually use: fence lines, behind the shed, in the roof void and under the house. We come back to check and refill them so bait is not left sitting out. The more important half of the job is finding how they get in, and we walk the whole house looking for gaps under roller doors, broken subfloor vents, open pipe penetrations and tree branches touching the roof, then tell you exactly what to fix.
