Clearing the rats or mice out of a Caboolture home is only half the job if the gaps that let them in are still open, since a new rodent can move in a matter of days after the old one is caught. Proofing looks at the whole outside of the house for the small gaps rats and mice use to get inside.
The crew checks around the roofline, ridge capping, eaves, vents and where pipes and cables pass through the wall, since these are the usual spots on Queenslanders and newer builds alike. Garage rollers, weep holes and gaps under doors are checked too, along with any branches, fences or stacked materials running close enough to give rodents a path onto the roof. Downpipes running close to the eaves and trellises against the wall are checked as well, since both give rats an easy climb toward gaps most people would not think to look for.
Once the gaps are found, the crew can close them off using mesh, sealant or metal flashing, matched to the size and location of the gap, so the fix suits the spot rather than using one method everywhere. This is usually done on the same visit as trapping or baiting, so Caboolture households do not need to book a separate appointment.
