Trapping is a straightforward way to deal with rats and mice, and many households in North Lakes prefer it, especially inside the home. You can see what has been caught, there is less chance of a rodent dying in a wall, and it suits homes with pets. We book a nearby crew to set traps where they will actually work.
A trap in the wrong spot will sit untouched for weeks. Rats in particular are cautious around new objects. The crew sets traps along the paths rodents use, hard up against walls, beams and pipes, and chooses baits that suit what they have been eating. Sometimes traps are left unset for a night or two so rats get used to them before they are armed.

Trapping a busy roof space often takes a few visits. Mice are usually caught sooner than rats, since they are more curious about new things. The crew can come back to clear catches, reset traps and move them as the activity shifts. Each return visit is priced upfront when you book, so you stay in control of the cost.
If you would like to check traps between visits, ask the crew to show you how to handle and reset them. Use gloves, bag any catches and put them in the general waste bin. Keep traps out of reach of children. Call 07 3543 7771 to book rat and mouse trapping in North Lakes.
