Rats In The Roof Cause Haunting Noises

A significant element of a good horror movie is its sound effects. Mainly, weird noises from the roof and floors cause the scariest of reactions. If you can hear noises from your roof, we don’t know about a ghost though, it’s probably rats.

Our technician was called to Ashburton where our client was complaining of noises in her walls. A thorough inspection of both the ceiling void and subfloor found evidence of both rat and mouse droppings. We also found fruit trees in the rear courtyard which the rodents were using as their food source.

As you can see in the photos, mice were very active in the roof space and rat droppings were found in the subfloor area.

Appropriate baiting programs were introduced to the activity areas, hygiene around the fruit trees was discussed with the client; it is very important to remove any potential food sources.

This provides less reason for rodents to nest in your house but it also helps us to encourage them to take our bait as we are not competing with other food sources.

Please remember, do not wait for rodents to take over your home. Give your local experts a call when you hear rats in the roof.
