Mice move through much smaller gaps than rats, so a Brisbane home can have mice without any obvious hole in sight, often turning up as droppings in a pantry or scratching behind a wall near the kitchen. We book a local crew who checks the usual entry points, such as gaps around pipes under the sink, torn door seals and vents, before deciding on bait or trapping. Units and townhouses are just as likely to have mice as a standalone house, since shared walls and roof space give mice more than one way to reach a kitchen.
Because mice breed quickly, the crew usually places several bait stations or traps rather than just one, spread along skirting boards, behind appliances and in the roof space if there is activity up there too. They will point out where droppings, gnaw marks or a smell are strongest, since that usually marks the main nesting area, and they also check stored food packaging in cupboards, since a chewed corner on a box is often the first sign of activity.
A return visit lets the crew check what has been triggered or eaten and adjust the placement if mice are avoiding a spot. For Brisbane homes with a kitchen extension or an older section with gaps around the floor, sealing those entry points afterwards is often part of stopping mice coming back.
