Scratching in the roof at night, droppings in the pantry, or a rat that’s chewed through a cable in the garage. Bug Out Pest Solutions deals with mice and rats properly, combining baiting with exclusion work so the problem doesn’t just come straight back.
Rodents get into Queensland homes through gaps as small as a coin around roof lines, vents and pipe entries, so a baiting program alone often isn’t enough if those entry points stay open. Chris identifies how rodents are actually getting in as part of the job, not just where they’ve been seen, and combines targeted baiting with practical advice on sealing entry points to stop the problem recurring.
Different situations call for different approaches: a single mouse in the kitchen is a very different job to an established rat population in the roof void of an older Queenslander. Chris will assess what’s actually happening on the property and recommend a program that matches it, rather than a generic one-size-fits-all bait drop.

- Ongoing maintenance plans available for properties with a recurring rodent problem
How do I know if I have rats or just mice?
Rat droppings are noticeably larger than mouse droppings (roughly the size of a grain of rice versus a coffee bean), and rats tend to be noisier, especially at night in the roof void. If you’re not sure which you’re dealing with, Chris can confirm on an inspection rather than guessing from droppings alone.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the bait safe with kids and pets around?
Bait is placed in locked stations or locations pets and children can't access, and Chris will point out exactly where it has been placed on the property.
How quickly does baiting work?
Most rodent activity noticeably reduces within one to two weeks, though a heavily established population in a roof void can take longer to fully clear.
Can you help stop rodents getting in again?
Yes, part of the service includes advice on sealing common entry points around the roofline, vents and foundations so the problem doesn’t just return.
