A roof space that has been open long enough for a possum to move in is usually open long enough for rats or mice as well, and the two problems turn up together more often than you might think. Rodent control in Hendra is often booked once the crew spots signs of rats or mice while inspecting for a possum, though it is just as often booked on its own with no possum involved at all. This is a separate job to possum work, even though the two are often discovered together during the same inspection.
Smaller droppings, gnaw marks on timber or wiring, and scratching that sounds lighter and quicker than a possum are the usual giveaways the crew looks for. Because rats and mice fit through much smaller gaps than a possum ever would, the crew checks around pipes, cabling and smaller vent openings that a possum focused job might otherwise miss. Bait stations or traps are placed depending on what suits the property and how much activity has been found.
Treatment is matched to whatever is actually found in the roof space across Hendra, and the crew will explain what they are dealing with before starting rather than applying the same approach to every job. Sealing off the smaller gaps rodents use is usually part of the same visit, alongside any possum proofing already planned for the house. The crew will also explain what signs to watch for afterwards, in case activity picks up again once the weather changes.
