Trapping is a direct way to remove rats and mice, and it means you are not left wondering where a baited rodent ended up. Many people in Chermside prefer it for roof spaces, kitchens and homes with pets. Traps also give you a clear count of what has been caught. We book a local crew that sets traps where rodents actually travel.
Rats are wary of new things in their path, so placement is everything. The crew sets traps along walls, beams and pipes, where rodents run with their whiskers against an edge. They use the right size trap for rats or mice, pick a bait that suits what the rodents have been eating, and sometimes leave traps unset for a night or two so the rats get used to them.
- Snap traps sized for rats or mice
- Traps placed along runways, not open floor
- Covered traps in spots pets or kids could reach
- Caught rodents removed on return visits
- Traps moved as activity shifts
Trapping usually takes a few visits to clear a busy roof space. Peanut butter, bacon or nuts often work better than cheese, and the crew will switch baits if the first choice is ignored. The crew can come back to check traps, remove any catches and reset them. Each return visit is priced upfront when you book, so you can decide how many you need.
If you would rather check traps yourself, ask the crew to show you how to reset them without getting hurt. Wear gloves when handling a caught rodent, seal it in a bag and put it in the general waste bin. Call 07 3543 7772 to book rodent trapping in Chermside.
