Rodents in Ceiling Joists,,,HELP!!!

You will need to deal with how they are getting in before getting someone in to deal with the rats, or they will be replaced very quickly. There are several animals that will live in your building, apart from rats and mice, squirrels, polecats and dormice, even feral cats. If your roof is anything like our's, there are gaps all around.

First port of call your neighbour, if not then the mayor should know someone in the village. Good luck

Hi there,
We had the same problem few years ago but we bought 3 to plug-in machines from MrBricolage and never and ever seen any, you need to look at how many sqm to cover, we got one for the main house 220 sqmm one for the garage and one for the renovated barn.
Good luck

Hi,,were rats between your joists in ceiling??,,as i have tried plug in device which will keep them out of living areas but no affect at all between joists in ceiling,,thanks

They were in the attic and used to come down making a channel inside the walls, first we took care of the wholes and put a metal door then bought the plug-in

Thanks,,,,for info,,,same problem here,,,ive just bought big sheet of steel mesh to block all exit holes in barn which adjoins house,,then put spring traps in place,,,thank you

OMG! So sorry..you need a professional to get rid of,them and close up their way in and out.....someone out there must know a company...

I used humane traps, but not in a humane way.
They would die in there, and other rats would go in to eat the bodies.
I got rid of the lot.

Hi,,What are Humane traps please????

Hi,,yes,ive blocked all holes i can find,,,there in my ceiling joists running around,,can,t find any professional help in BG,,which i find amazing been told to get a cat!! how can i possibly get cat in joists haha,,they need to be smoked/gassed out,,by professional people,,,,prob have to try myself,,cheers
