Rats and mice move into roof voids, wall cavities and garages across Palm Beach when they find food, water and a way in. Scratching in the ceiling at night is the classic sign. Others are droppings in the pantry or garage, chewed food packets, gnawed wiring or timber, and greasy marks along the walls where they run.
On the coast, roof rats are the most common. They are good climbers and get in along fences, palm trees, vines and power lines that touch the roof, then squeeze through gaps at the eaves, roof tiles and around pipes. Mice can fit through a gap the width of a pencil. Homes near the creeks and bushland, and houses with fruit trees, chook pens or compost bins, tend to see more of them.

Rodent jobs usually take more than one visit. The crew checks the bait stations and traps after a week or two and adjusts where needed. They will tell you how many visits they expect and what each one costs before the work starts, so you can plan around it.
