Rats and mice build nests out of whatever is handy: chewed insulation, cardboard, paper, fabric and garden material. In Hamilton homes, nests turn up in roof spaces, behind kitchen kickboards, inside wall cavities, in stored boxes in the garage and in sheds full of old gear. Even after the rodents have gone, an old nest holds droppings, urine and a strong smell that can draw new rodents to the same spot.
Nest removal usually happens after baiting or trapping has cleared the rodents. We give you upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew. The crew we book wears gloves and a mask, dampens the material so dust does not spread, bags everything and wipes the area down with disinfectant. The job usually includes:
- Locating nests in the roof, walls, garage, shed or subfloor
- Bagging nesting material, droppings and any dead rodents within reach
- Disinfecting surfaces around the nest site
- Checking insulation, cables and pipes nearby for damage
- Clearing old nesting debris from stored boxes and shelves
- Showing you the gaps rodents used to reach the nest
If a patch of insulation is heavily soiled, the crew may recommend replacing it and will give you a price first. Getting to a nest in a low corner of a large Hamilton roof space can take time, so they will tell you what is involved once they have seen it. Please do not pull out nests with bare hands, as the dust from droppings and urine is not good to breathe. Removing old nests and sealing the gaps together gives rodents fewer reasons to return.
