The roof void is warm, dry and seldom disturbed, which makes it a favourite shelter for spiders, cockroaches and rodents. In many Hamilton homes, noises in the ceiling at night or spiders coming down through light fittings are the first signs that something is living up there. Silverfish also breed in roof spaces and work their way down into wardrobes and bookshelves.
When you book a roof void treatment, the crew we book goes up through the access hatch and checks the space for webs, droppings, nests and entry gaps. They then apply a dust or spray suited to what they find, focusing on the edges of the roof space where pests travel and shelter.
- Checking for spider webs, cockroach signs and rodent droppings
- Dusting or spraying along wall plates and roof edges
- Baiting for rodents where signs are found
- Pointing out gaps at eaves, vents and roof lines
Before the visit, make sure the access hatch can be reached, usually in a hallway, laundry or wardrobe, and clear anything stored underneath it. If your home has no hatch or a very low roof space, mention it on the phone so we can book a crew with the right gear. Older Queenslanders with raked ceilings may have limited access, and the crew will explain what can be reached on the day.
Roof void work is often added to a spider or pest visit on the same day. Many people have the roof space treated every year or two, since pests can settle in without any signs below. We give upfront pricing on the phone before anyone comes out. For a roof void treatment in Hamilton, call 07 3543 7765.
