Most rodent problems begin outside. Rats and mice live in garden beds, under sheds, around bins and compost, and along fences, then move indoors when the weather turns or food runs short. Compact yards still give them plenty of cover. Outdoor rodent control in North Lakes targets them in the yard, before they reach the house.
The crew we book walks the yard with you and looks for burrows, runways through plants, droppings near bins and gnaw marks on sheds and fences. Norway rats dig burrows under slabs, paths and garden edging, often with a second exit hole nearby. The crew checks what is feeding the rodents, such as fallen fruit, pet food, compost, chook feed or veggie gardens. Then they set lockable stations and covered traps along the boundary and near activity, away from where children play.

Small changes in the yard help a lot. Use bins with tight lids, raise compost bins or use enclosed ones, store pet and chook feed in metal containers, clear piles of timber and garden waste, and trim plants back from walls. Fix leaking taps and empty standing water, since rodents need to drink every day. The crew will point out what matters most for your block.
Homes in North Lakes that back onto parks, wetlands or drainage corridors often see rodents moving in from those areas. A ring of stations along the back fence gives you a buffer. Call 07 3543 7771 to book outdoor rodent control with upfront pricing.
