Rat and Mice Gutter Screens - Keep Rodents Out of Your Roof

Stop rats and mice using your gutters as an entry point into your roof space – with strong metal gutter guards that they cannot squeeze through or chew through.

The problem

Once rats or mice find a way into your roof, they rarely stop at just one visit. You hear noises in the ceiling, find droppings, and start worrying what damage they are doing where you cannot see.

Rodents in the roof can mean:

Fire risk – gnawed cables and electrical wiring can cause short circuits

Health risks – Rats and mice can spread leptospirosis through urine-contaminated food, water, and soil.

Plumbing damage – rodents can chew on pipes and fittings, causing leaks

Parasites – they can carry fleas and internal worms that affect humans and pets

Traps and bait might reduce numbers for a while – but unless you stop them getting in through gutters and roof gaps, the problem keeps coming back.

How our rat & mice screens work

We identify how rodents are getting in

A trained installer inspects your gutters, valleys and roof edge to understand how rodents are accessing your roof space – often via the gutter line and small gaps along the roof.

We install metal gutter guards - proven rat & mice screens

We fit Gutter Solutionz metal gutter guards with louvred holes that are too small for mice to fit through, let alone rats – and strong enough that rodents cannot chew through them.

We provide long-term protection, not a quick fix

The system is installed properly, sealed along the gutter edge, and backed by clear materials and workmanship warranties. Combined with any pest control you are already using, it helps prevent re-infestation by removing a key access route.

Key benefits

Blocks a major entry point

Stops rats and mice getting into the roof via gutters and small edge gaps, rather than just treating them once they are inside. 

Reduces fire and plumbing risks

By keeping rodents out of the roof space, you reduce the chances of chewed wiring, damaged pipes and the costly problems that follow.

Helps protect health

Less rodent activity around your roof and gutters means fewer risks from Leptospirosis and parasites being spread around your property. 

Strong, chew-resistant metal mesh

Purpose-designed metal gutter guards that rodents cannot bite through – unlike softer, flimsy materials.

Works together with other pest control

Complements traps and baiting by dealing with the access problem, not just the symptoms.
