We were called to a home in Ellen Grove this week. The owner hadn't heard any scratching. No signs inside the house. Nothing unusual β until we checked the external walls. π
This is what we found.
Rat droppings scattered along the base of an external wall β with grease marks showing exactly where they'd been travelling in and out of the property. A single rat produces up to 40 droppings per night. This was several nights of movement at minimum.
The homeowner had no idea.
One tip if you ever find this β don't clean it up straight away. The location, quantity and freshness tells us exactly where the colony is active and guides the treatment.
We treated the property. The homeowner is now on a rodent monitoring program.
August is peak rodent season in Brisbane. When did you last check your external walls, subfloor or garage? π
