Rats in your ceiling?

Rat or possum in roof?

The key way to tell if there are rats in your roof is to listen to the sounds it makes as it goes around your roof. Large animals like possums will make thudding like noises (similar to a toddler running through your roof). Rats and mice will make scratching noises as they go around your roof (like fake nails on a chalk board).

Can you rat-proof your roof?

Short answer is no. Rats can squeeze their body into the smallest of holes, which makes it near impossible to prevent rats from going into your roof. The best way to prevent rats from going into your roof is to make it hard for them to access. This includes maintaining trees and shrubs around the house that make give them access.

Why should I get a pest control technician to treat rats?

The bait used by pest control technicians is more palatable and stronger than the bait your can buy over the counter. Additionally, it is best to have a pest control technician determine which pest is in your roof, as you would not want to harm a possum (as they are protected).

How long does it take to work?

We recommend waiting one week for the rat treatment to take effect.
