How to identify is there rat or possum in the roof

  • 8 years ago
If you are hearing noises in the roof or in the wall, you may think its possum or a rat in the house. First thing we would recommend there is get an expert out there to have a look.

Now roof rat would normally be found inside the roof, in the walls or underneath the house .

Now the first thing that we look at is to identify what the problem is that the possum problem or is that a rat problem or a rat problem or a mouse problem?.

Now we look at the droppings and identify that for you. Once we determine what the problem is. It might be problem with both could a problem with possums and also rats, then basically we determine the best method that is going to control both of them without causing problems, one into another.

So the possums, we handle first and then we handle the rats straight after, so they can be what we call a one way door place on outside on the roof replaces one tile, which allows the possum to gain exit and not come back in and that’s closing the entry point of course and with the rats, we will need to place what place temper proff stations where the possums cannot gain entry into those stations where they can eat the bait.

Rats are a little bit more difficult to deal with especially if they are roaming into flat roof or into wall cavities and there’s no roof space ,so that may mean that if that’s the case, we can deal with it from the outside, which is placing bite or temper proff station outside, then the things that we need to look at for, is any pets on side young children that may tamper or gain entry into those stations because of the base stations.

There’s lot of thing that we need to type the consideration before we conduct the treatment. https://www.protechpestcontrol.com.au/possums
