Rats and mice keep coming back as long as there is a way in. Rodent proofing closes those gaps. A rat can fit through a hole the size of a coin and a mouse through even less, so it pays to look closely. Homes in St Lucia often have gaps where old timber meets brick, where pipes and cables pass through walls, and under doors to laundries and garages.
The crew we book starts with a walk around the outside of the house, then checks the roof cavity and subfloor. They mark each gap and seal it with a material that rodents cannot chew through easily.
- Steel mesh over vents, weep holes and subfloor openings
- Collars and filler around pipes and cables
- Door seals and brush strips for garages and laundries
- Gaps at the roof line, eaves and gutters closed
- Advice on trees and vines that give rats a path to the roof
Rodent proofing works well alongside rodent control. Baits and traps deal with the rodents already inside, and proofing stops more getting in. If you have had rodent control before and the problem came back, proofing is often the missing step.
The crew will show you each gap they sealed and tell you about any they could not reach, such as spots that need a builder or plumber. They will also point out things around the yard that make your house more attractive to rats, like woodpiles against walls or overgrown vines on fences. We give you upfront pricing before the visit based on the size of the house and the areas that need work. To book rodent proofing in St Lucia, call 07 3543 7768 and we will arrange a nearby crew.
