How We Eliminate Rodent Infestations

Professional, proven, and backed by our warranty

1

Full Property Inspection

Thorough inspection of roof void, subfloor, interior, and exterior to map rodent activity, entry points, and nesting sites.

2

Entry Point Identification

Rats can squeeze through a 20mm gap, mice through 6mm. We identify every potential entry point on your property.

3

Strategic Bait Station Placement

Tamper-resistant bait stations placed in roof voids, subfloor, and along exterior walls in locked boxes safe for children and pets.

4

Trapping Program

Snap traps placed in high-activity areas for immediate population reduction alongside the baiting program.

5

Exclusion & Proofing

We seal entry points with steel wool, metal flashing, and expanding foam to prevent re-entry. Advice on food storage and harbourage reduction.

Signs You Need Rat & Mouse Control

Watch for these warning signs around your property

Droppings — rice-grain-sized (mice) or capsule-shaped (rats) found along walls, in cupboards, or in roof voids

Scratching, squeaking, or scurrying sounds in walls and ceilings, especially at night

Gnaw marks on food packaging, timber, plastic pipes, and electrical wiring

Greasy rub marks along walls and beams where rodents travel the same path repeatedly

DIY vs Professional Treatment

A single mouse trap might catch one rodent, but mice breed so fast (6-10 litters per year, 5-6 pups each) that trapping alone can't keep up. Professional rodent control combines baiting, trapping, and physical exclusion to eliminate the population AND prevent recolonisation.

When Pests Are Most Active

Rodent invasions in Sydney peak in autumn and winter as rats and mice seek warmth and food inside homes. Roof rats are active year-round in leafy suburbs. Mouse plagues can occur after wet springs when food sources boom.

Why You Shouldn't Wait

The longer you delay, the worse it gets

Rats and mice spread over 35 diseases including leptospirosis, salmonellosis, and hantavirus through droppings, urine, and contaminated food

Rodent-gnawed electrical wiring causes an estimated 25% of unexplained house fires in Australia

Mouse allergens (urine proteins) trigger asthma and allergic rhinitis — present in 82% of Australian homes tested

Rat & Mouse Control FAQ — Sydney

Common questions from Sydney residents

Will I smell dead rats after baiting?
Modern rodenticides cause dehydration, which significantly reduces odour risk. In roof voids with good ventilation, smell is rarely an issue. We place baits strategically to minimise this concern.
How do rats get into my roof?
Roof rats are excellent climbers. They access roofs via overhanging trees, power lines, fence lines, and climbing rough brick walls. A gap of just 20mm at the roofline is enough.
Are bait stations safe around kids and pets?
Yes. Our bait stations are tamper-resistant and lockable — children and pets cannot access the bait inside. We also offer non-toxic trap-only programs for sensitive situations.
How long does rodent control take to work?
You should notice a significant reduction in activity within 1-2 weeks. Complete elimination typically takes 3-4 weeks depending on the population size and access to the property.
