Mice In The Roof More Popular Than You Think

Rats and rodents have quite a few options when it comes to finding a “place to crash” in your home. A popular spot for mice, believe it or not, is on the roof. We recently came across a case highlighting this exact situation. Read on to learn about what happened.

Our client in Epping thought that they might have mice in the roof as she could hear some noises of a night. We quickly set an appointment with her and reached on-site on time.

A thorough investigation of the property was undertaken and chickens were found to be in the backyard with a stock of feed stored under the rear verandah. This displayed the first sign of cause for the infestation.

Rat faeces were found in and around the chicken feed and also in the roof. This, therefore, was seeming to be a very serious problem to our tech.

Rodents are attracted to grains and cereals and this situation was providing an ideal environment for a family of rats. Our tech found the nest directly above the verandah on the roof of the house.

We placed baits and set a hygiene regime explained to the client. This included suggestions to improve the chicken feed storage. These suggestions can, in fact, help to prevent a lot of future problems.
