Trapping suits households that would rather keep bait out of the picture. Maybe you have a curious dog, chooks in the yard or a worry about a rodent dying inside a wall where it cannot be reached. With traps, you can see what has been caught and when. We book rodent trapping in Sunnybank with a nearby independent pest crew, and you get an upfront price before the visit.
A trap in the wrong place catches nothing, so placement is the key. The crew we book finds the paths rats and mice travel, often along walls, roof beams, fence lines and behind stored boxes, and sets traps right on those runs. For rats, they use heavy-duty snap traps. For mice, smaller traps go along skirting boards and behind appliances. Where pets are around, traps sit inside covered boxes or in spots pets cannot reach.

Rats are shy of anything new, so the crew may leave traps unset for a few nights to let them get used to them. Mice are less cautious and are often caught sooner. If you check traps yourself, wear gloves and bag any catches before putting them in the bin. Trapping can take a little longer than baiting in homes with lots of rats, so the crew may suggest a second visit to reset and move traps.
Trapping visits in Sunnybank are same-day or next-day where the run allows. Call 07 3543 7767 to book rodent trapping or ask how it works in your home.
