Rats get into a roof much the same way possums do, through a gap around the eaves, a damaged vent, or a manhole cover that no longer sits flush, though the noise is usually lighter and quicker, more of a scratching or scurrying sound than the heavier footsteps a possum makes. Hearing this kind of movement in your Silkstone home is worth a roof check.
When you call 07 3543 7769, the crew checks the roof cavity and subfloor for signs of rats, droppings, gnaw marks around timber or wiring, or a build-up in one corner of the ceiling. Once the extent of the problem is clear, the crew deals with the rats present and closes off the gaps they have been using to get in and out.
Rats move between the roof and the subfloor fairly easily in older homes, so both spaces are checked on the one visit where the Silkstone property allows. Rats can chew through wiring and timber, so a roof left unchecked for a long stretch is more likely to need extra attention beyond the removal itself, which is worth mentioning when you call. A gap that has let rats in once tends to let them back in again unless it is closed off properly, so sealing the entry point is treated as part of the same job rather than an optional extra.
