Roof noise in Revesby is often rats using fences and trees to reach eaves, or mice coming in through garage and wet-area gaps. The Georges River corridor and established gardens mean plenty of outdoor food and cover; that does not mean every ceiling scratch is a possum.
Extreme Pest Control NSW inspects Revesby properties to separate rodents from wildlife, then baits or traps and points out the gaps that will let the next lot in.
Rats, mice and Revesby roofs
Fruit trees, compost, chicken feed and bird seed are common outdoor food sources on local blocks. Indoor pet food and packed garages do the rest.
Possums are protected in NSW. If the noise is a possum, the job becomes inspection and lawful exclusion, not rodent bait in the void. We check before we treat.
How rodent control works
Inspection comes first: roof void, subfloor where accessible, kitchen, garage, waste areas and obvious entry points such as eaves, garage seals, pipe penetrations and vegetation touching the roof.
Treatment may include baiting in tamper-resistant stations, trapping, and removal of nesting material where it is practical. Indoor baiting is planned around children, pets and non-target animals.
Proofing is what stops the next infestation. That can be as simple as sealing a gap beside a pipe, trimming tree limbs off the roof, fixing a garage door seal or storing pet food in lidded containers. We will tell you what we can do on the visit and what a builder or owner needs to close up.

FAQs
Is it rats or possums in a Revesby roof? +
Inspection tells us. Droppings, entry size, and the sound all help. We will not bait a possum job as if it were rats.
Will you seal the roof? +
We identify gaps and can advise on proofing. Some sealing is simple; some needs a builder. Blocking a hole with an animal still inside is a bad idea.
