Inspection of the Petersham property
Technicians examine the interior and exterior for droppings, gnaw marks, nests and entry points. They map the most active areas and identify the species present.
Rodents gnaw wires, contaminate food and multiply quickly. 24 Hour Pest Control Sydney finds entry points, removes active nests and installs barriers to keep them out of Petersham properties.
You will usually notice droppings first, often along walls or inside cupboards. Gnaw marks on food packaging, baseboards or electrical cables are another clear sign. Scratching or scurrying noises in walls or ceilings at night also indicate an active infestation.
The problem
Rodents enter Petersham properties through gaps as small as a coin. Once inside, they nest in wall cavities, roof voids and under floorboards, using shredded paper, fabric or insulation. They are most active at night, when they forage for food and water, often leaving droppings and greasy rub marks along their routes. Without intervention, a pair can produce dozens of offspring within weeks.
Check around pipes, vents and cables entering the building. Look for gaps under doors, around windows and where the roof meets the walls.
What happens on site
24 Hour Pest Control Sydney starts with a thorough inspection to locate entry points, nests and food sources. Traps and bait stations are placed strategically, and exclusion work seals the gaps that let rodents in. Monitoring ensures the colony is eliminated before preventative measures are finalised.
