Rodent proofing is about closing the gaps rats and mice use to get into a house in Springfield Lakes, rather than dealing with the animals already inside. It is usually booked once a rat or mouse problem has been dealt with, so the same gaps do not let the next one in.
The crew we book will walk the outside of the property looking at the roofline, eaves, vent covers, weep holes and any gaps around pipes, the electricity box or the garage roller door. Anywhere a pencil or a coin can fit is worth a look, since that is usually enough room for a mouse or a young rat, and a worn garage door seal is one of the more common gaps in newer estates.
- Roofline and eave gap check
- Vent and weep hole mesh where needed
- Pipe entry and electricity box gap check
- Garage roller door seal check
- Fence and side gate gap check
- A written list of gaps closed and any left for a builder or handyman
Some gaps can be sealed on the day, such as vent mesh, a gap around a pipe or a new door seal, while larger ones might need a trade the crew can point you toward. Either way, you get a plain list of what was found and what was done, room by room, so nothing gets missed.
Proofing is worth asking about at the same time as a rodent control visit in Springfield Lakes, since the crew is already checking the roofline and garage. Call 07 3543 7769 and mention you would like a proofing check added.
