Mice are smaller and quieter than rats, so the first sign in a Gold Coast home is often droppings in a pantry, gnawed packaging or a faint scratching sound in the wall at night. They can squeeze through gaps as small as a coin, which makes them tricky to keep out once they have found a way in near the kitchen or laundry.
A mouse visit looks at where the activity is strongest, usually kitchens, pantries and roof voids, and places bait or traps in spots away from pets and children where possible. The crew we book will also point out likely entry gaps around pipes, vents and skirting boards that are worth keeping an eye on.
- Kitchen cupboards, pantry shelves and behind appliances.
- Roof voids and wall cavities near the kitchen or laundry.
- Subfloor spaces and garages with stored boxes.
- Entry points around pipes, vents and door gaps.
- Placement of bait or traps away from pets where possible.
Mice tend to move into Gold Coast properties as the weather cools and food sources outside become scarcer, so activity often picks up heading into autumn and winter. Keeping pantry food in sealed containers and checking behind appliances every so often helps catch a new problem before it spreads through the kitchen area. A single mouse can also mean more are close by, so a proper check of the whole house is worth doing even if you have only seen one.
