Scratching in the roof at night, droppings in the pantry or a gnawed corner of a cardboard box are usually the first sign of rats or mice at a Lara property. Roof cavities, subfloors and garden sheds all give rodents a place to nest close to a steady food source, and once one gets in, others tend to use the same route in.
When you call, tell us whether the noise or droppings are in the roof, the subfloor or inside the living areas, since that changes where the crew we book will focus first. The crew checks the roof space, subfloor vents, the base of external walls and anywhere pipes or cables pass through, looking for the gaps rodents are using to get in.
Older homes around Lara with timber stumps and open subfloor vents are particularly easy for rats and mice to access, while properties backing onto paddock or grain storage nearby can see more activity than streets in the middle of an estate. A local team that works this area regularly checks both the entry points and the areas rodents are likely to nest.
Rodents can chew through electrical wiring, insulation and stored belongings, so a problem left untreated can end up costing more than the pest itself. If you have heard scratching but not seen droppings, or the other way around, mention both when you call, since either sign is enough to justify a visit.
