Rats get into roofs the same way possums do, through a gap around the eaves, a broken vent, or a manhole cover that does not sit flush, though the noise is usually lighter and quicker, more of a scratching or scurrying sound than the heavier footsteps a possum makes. If you are hearing this kind of movement in your Ipswich home, it is worth booking a roof check.
When you call 07 3543 7768, the crew checks the roof cavity and subfloor for signs of rats, such as droppings, gnaw marks around timber or wiring, or a build-up in one corner of the ceiling. Once the extent of the problem is clear, the crew deals with the rats present and closes off the gaps they were using to get in.
Rats can move between the roof and the subfloor in older homes, so both areas are checked on the one visit where the Ipswich property allows. Pricing is given upfront once the crew has had a look, before any work goes ahead on your roof or under the house. Rats can chew through wiring and timber, so a roof left unchecked for a long stretch is more likely to need extra attention beyond the removal itself, which is worth mentioning when you call.
