Plenty of rat problems start in the yard before they ever reach the house. Compost bins, chook pens, fallen fruit, pet food, dense garden beds and cluttered sheds give rats food and shelter. Once they are living in the garden, the house is a short climb away. Garden rat control in Chermside targets those spots so rats have less reason to hang around.
The crew we book walks the yard with you. They look for burrows along fences, under slabs and beside retaining walls, runways through thick plants, gnaw marks on sheds and droppings near the compost. Norway rats in particular like to dig under slabs, sheds and garden edging. Then the crew sets lockable bait stations and traps around the outside, well away from where kids play and pets roam.

Small changes in the yard make a big difference. Picking up fallen fruit each day, keeping chook feed in metal bins, raising compost bins or using ones with a solid base, and cutting back plants that touch the house all help. Water matters too, so fix dripping taps and empty pot plant saucers. The crew will point out what matters most on your block.
Many yards in Chermside back onto parks or creek corridors, where rats live year round. Garden control helps keep them from moving closer. Stations along the back fence act as a buffer between that bush and your house. Call 07 3543 7772 to book garden rat control with upfront pricing.
