Scratching in the ceiling, droppings in a cupboard or chewed packaging in the pantry are usually the first signs of rats or mice in a Windsor home. Roof cavities and subfloor spaces give rodents a dry, sheltered place to nest, and they often move between the two along roof lines, fences and overhanging trees.
When you call, tell us where you have noticed activity and roughly how long it has been going on, since that helps the crew work out where to start. For Windsor properties, that often means checking roof access points, gaps around eaves and vents, and any stored items in a garage or shed where rodents can sit unnoticed.

- Subfloor areas under older homes
- Garages, sheds and stored boxes
- Kitchens and pantries
- Fence lines and garden beds near the house
After a visit, sealing gaps around pipes, vents and eaves stops new rodents moving in once the current activity has settled, and is worth doing alongside any indoor clean-up. Uncovered pet food, unsecured compost and rubbish left out overnight are common reasons rodents keep returning to a Windsor property even after a visit, so it helps to mention these when you call. Homes with a subfloor or roof cavity that has not been checked in a while often need a bit more time on the first visit than a property with a shorter history of activity. If scratching or droppings turn up again a few weeks after a visit, call and tell the crew booked for Windsor what you are still seeing, so they can look at what might have been missed the first time around.
A price is given before the visit starts, based on the property and what you have described. If you are hearing movement in the roof or finding droppings around your Windsor home, call 07 3543 7766 to get a local team booked in.
