Rodent exclusion means closing up the gaps rats and mice use to get into your home. Baits and traps deal with the rodents inside, but if the holes stay open, new ones keep arriving. Homes in Hamilton have plenty of possible entry points: gaps under roof sheets and ridge capping, open eaves, broken vent covers, holes around air conditioning and plumbing pipes, and spaces under garage doors.
We take your call, give you upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew. The crew we book walks the outside of the building and checks the roof space from inside, marking every gap large enough for a mouse, which is not much bigger than a pencil. They then close the gaps using materials rodents cannot easily chew. Typical work includes:
- Packing steel wool or mesh into holes around pipes and cables
- Fitting mesh over wall vents and subfloor openings
- Sealing gaps at the eaves, fascia and ridge capping
- Adding brush seals or strips under doors and roller doors
- Covering chewed timber or plastic with metal flashing
- Advice on trimming trees and palms away from the roof
Timing matters. If rodents are still living in the roof when the gaps are closed, they can die inside the walls and cause a smell. For that reason the crew usually treats first and seals a week or two later. Large Queenslanders in Hamilton can have a lot of eaves and subfloor to cover, so the crew prices exclusion work after seeing the house and tells you before starting. Trees and palms touching the roof are worth cutting back at the same time.
