Rodent proofing is about closing the gaps rats and mice use to get into a house in Ipswich, rather than dealing with the animals already inside. It is usually booked once a rat or mouse problem has been dealt with, so the same gaps do not let the next one in.
The crew we book will walk the outside of the property looking at the roofline, eaves, vent covers, weep holes and any gaps around pipes, the electricity box or the garage door. Anywhere a pencil or a coin can fit is worth a look, since that is usually enough room for a mouse or a young rat, and gaps around an old extension or deck are common spots too.
- Roofline and eave gap check
- Vent and weep hole mesh where needed
- Pipe entry and electricity box gap check
- Garage and shed door gap check
- Decking and extension join check
- A written list of gaps closed and any left for a builder or handyman
Some gaps can be sealed on the day, such as vent mesh or a gap around a pipe, while larger ones, like a section of damaged roofline or a gap under a deck, might need a trade the crew can point you toward. Either way, you get a plain list of what was found and what was done, room by room, so nothing gets missed.
Proofing is worth asking about at the same time as a rat removal visit in Ipswich, since the crew is already checking the roofline and subfloor. Call 07 3543 7769 and mention you would like a proofing check added to the visit.
