Sydney garages and roof voids are favourite winter harbourage for rodents seeking warmth and nesting material. Proofing early saves chewed wiring, droppings, and late-night scratching.
Entry points to check
- Gaps under roller doors and side doors
- Unsealed pipe penetrations
- Missing weep-hole covers or vents without mesh
- Stored cardboard and pet food bags
- Ivy or trees touching the roofline
Proofing that works
Seal gaps with rodent-resistant materials, store food in hard containers, and reduce clutter that creates nesting sites. Traps and baits work best after you reduce access — otherwise new rodents simply replace the ones you catch.
