Trapping is a good fit for some homes in New Farm. If you have a dog that gets into everything, young children, or a rodent problem in the kitchen where a dead rat in the wall would be a real nuisance, traps let the crew remove rodents without bait. Traps also mean no bodies left out of reach in a wall or roof cavity. Trapping also shows you exactly how many have been caught, which gives some people peace of mind.
We take your call, give you upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew. The crew we book sets heavy-duty snap traps or enclosed trap boxes along the runways they find, baited with food rather than poison. Placement matters more than numbers, so they look for the paths rats and mice use along walls, beams and pipes. A trapping job usually involves:
- An inspection to find runways and nesting spots
- Traps set in the roof space, subfloor, kitchen or garage
- Enclosed boxes where pets or children could reach
- A return visit to clear caught rodents and reset traps, priced upfront
- Advice on sealing the gaps the rodents used
- Tips on keeping food sealed so traps stay the most tempting option
Traps need checking. The crew will explain how often, and whether you are happy to check and clear the easy-to-reach ones yourself between visits. In roof spaces around New Farm, where access can be tight, most people prefer the crew to handle the checks. Trapping can take a little longer than baiting for a large group of rats, so the crew may suggest a mix of both.
