Rats and mice move indoors when the weather cools, but in Ipswich they are around all year. Signs include scratching in the roof or walls at night, droppings in the pantry or behind the fridge, chewed food packets and gnawed wiring or timber. Roof rats climb well and live up high, while mice and Norway rats tend to stay lower, in walls, sheds and subfloors. Rats breed quickly, so it pays to act early.
When you call, we ask what you are hearing and seeing, give you upfront pricing and book a nearby crew. The crew we book checks the roof space, kitchen, laundry, garage and subfloor for droppings, gnaw marks and runways. They place bait stations or traps in lockable boxes where children and pets cannot reach them, along the paths the rodents use.

- Roof space baiting where rats are active
- Pointing out gaps where rodents get in
- Advice on food, bins and compost that draw rodents
Baiting deals with the rats and mice that are already inside. To help keep new ones out, many people book rodent proofing as well, which seals the small gaps rodents use to get in. The crew will also point out things around the yard that draw rodents close, such as fallen fruit, pet food and open compost. Stored animal feed in sheds is another common draw.
