Real, verified feedback from people we've helped — straight from Google.
Where Asquith sits, who covers it and what it costs.
We treat rats and mice right across 2077. Asquith is roughly 22.2 km north-west of the city, which puts it well inside the Upper North Shore run our technicians work. We run Asquith on a regular route, and same-day attendance is usually available.
Around Asquith we work the pockets near Asquith Golf Club, Asquith station and Gardenia Street Park most often, so the van is rarely far away when a job comes in.
Under Ku-ring-gai and Hornsby, we cover Asquith and Hornsby, Hornsby Heights and North Wahroonga alike. Bush edges keep re-supplying the problem, which is why we treat the boundary rather than only the interior.
Around Asquith the pattern is fairly consistent: homes on sloping blocks with a sub-floor and bush on the boundary. Tell us which it is on the phone and we will come prepared for it.
The whole of 2077 is covered, Collingridge Reserve included.
The 2077 run is set the day before and you are given an arrival time. Where Hornsby and Hornsby Heights fall on the same round, we can usually bring the visit forward.
Roof rats travel along branches and power lines and enter at the eaves. Cutting back the branch touching a Asquith roof removes the bridge entirely.
If nothing has been taken from a station after a few days in a Asquith job, that is normal for rats rather than a failed treatment. We leave stations in place precisely because moving them starts the wariness again.
A rodent problem is a food problem. Around Asquith the usual sources are a bird feeder, fallen fruit, an open compost bay, pet food left out overnight and a bin with no lid - and no amount of baiting outruns a reliable food supply.
Three introduced rodents cause almost every rodent job in Sydney. A fourth, the native bush rat, needs to be recognised and left alone.
Built for climbing: slim body, thin ears, tail longer than the body. It lives above head height in roof voids, wall cavities, palms and dense trees. Rat control →
A solid, blunt-nosed rat with a tail shorter than its body, and a burrower rather than a climber. Subfloors, drains, compost bays and the space under a slab.
Small enough for a six-millimetre gap, and it stays near food - kitchen, pantry, and the wall cavity behind. Mice control →
This one is native and protected under NSW law, and it turns up near bushland reserves. Correct identification precedes any treatment decision.
Most people never get a clear look. These are the clues our technicians use instead.
| Clue | Rats | Mice |
|---|---|---|
| Droppings | Larger pellets shaped like capsules, usually in groups along the run | Tiny droppings the size of rice grains, scattered including inside drawers |
| Noise | Heavier thumping or dragging in the roof, usually after dark | Light, fast scratching and scurrying in walls and ceilings |
| Where you find them | Roof space, eaves, subfloor, garden beds and beneath decks | Around the kitchen and pantry, behind white goods, in low drawers |
| Entry gap | About 12 mm or more, enlarged by gnawing where it is tighter | About 6 mm - a pencil's width |
| Typical damage | Cables, downpipes, irrigation and garden fruit all gnawed | Chewed-open packets, food nibbled at, shredded paper nesting material |
| Behaviour | Cautious with unfamiliar objects, which slows the first visit to a station | Quick to investigate something new, though they feed in very small amounts |
| Grease marks | Dark rub marks on beams, rafters and entry holes | Faint marks, rarely noticed |
Still not sure? Our guide to rats vs mice in the roof has more detail, or book an inspection and we will confirm it on site.
One call to a licensed Sydney technician gets you straight advice and a fixed quote within 30 minutes.
NSW Health lists leptospirosis, lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, rat bite fever and gastro infections such as salmonellosis among diseases linked to rodents.
Constant gnawing is how a rodent keeps its teeth in check. In a roof void that means cabling, gas and water lines take the damage.
Where urine and droppings have reached benches or packaging, the food has to go and the surfaces need disinfecting.
Both breed repeatedly through the year, which is how a pair in autumn turns into a colony come spring.
From working out what's in the roof to confirming it's gone.
We check the roof void, subfloor, kitchen and perimeter for droppings, rub marks, nests and runways, and confirm whether it's rats, mice or both.
The species, the building and the household - children, pets, whether food is handled - decide whether we recommend baiting, trapping, proofing or some combination.
Stations are lockable and tamper-resistant, fixed on the runways we identified and kept out of reach, with traps used wherever baiting is not appropriate.
The entry points are identified and shown to you, with the option of a quote to proof them or instructions to handle it yourself.
Each visit checks and tops up the stations and records activity. When feeding stops, the program scales back.
No single method suits every building. This is how we decide what goes where.
| Method | How it works | Best for | Watch-outs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Baiting in lockable stations | Blocks of rodenticide locked inside tamper-resistant stations placed on live runways | Roof voids, subfloors and outside perimeters where activity is established | A poor choice where a carcass in a wall cavity would create an odour problem |
| Trapping | Enclosed or snap traps set on the wall lines and runways, serviced to a schedule | Food businesses, kitchens and pantries, and small indoor populations | Requires correct placement and consistent checking |
| Proofing | Sealing gaps, vents, weep holes and pipe penetrations with rodent-resistant materials | Every property, once active rodents are under control | Doesn't remove rodents already inside, so it follows treatment |
| Monitoring | Stations holding non-toxic blocks, read for gnawing and droppings | Strata buildings, businesses and homes close to reserves or waterways | Only really works as a scheduled, continuing service |
Why baiting often outperforms DIY snap traps in roof voids: read our explainer.
Terraces in the Inner West and Eastern Suburbs often share roof voids and wall cavities with neighbours, so rodents move freely between homes. We focus on the roof void, subfloor and the gaps where services enter.
Rats often live in bin rooms and basement car parks, and mice travel through service risers. Treating one unit rarely fixes it. A strata program covering common property usually does.
Standard 3.2.2 of the Food Standards Code sets the obligation: all practicable measures to keep pests out. Restaurant programs use trapping in food handling areas, numbered stations elsewhere, and a documented site plan.
Loading docks, pallet racking and ceiling voids all shelter rodents, so warehouse and office programs rely on perimeter stations and scheduled, reported monitoring.

Droppings along the ducting and joists map the runways, which is exactly where stations belong.
Finding shredded insulation and nest material in the subfloor points to ground-level rat activity.
We fix every station down. That stops bait being dragged out by a rodent, a pet or a curious child.
Reading the feeding at each station is how we know the population is dropping and when to wind the program back.
Rats and mice need different station sizes, different bait and different placement. Droppings tell us straight away - mouse droppings are rice-grain sized, rat droppings are closer to a date stone. Getting it wrong on a Asquith job wastes the first fortnight.
Rodents gnaw constantly to keep their incisors down, and in a Asquith roof void that means cabling. Chewed insulation on live wiring is a genuine fire risk and it is the reason we do not treat this as a nuisance problem.
The skeleton of a rodent is far more flexible than it looks. If the skull fits, the animal follows, which is why the gap around a pipe penetration in a Asquith wall is a genuine entry point rather than a detail.
Nothing is baited until we know what it is. Rats, mice and protected natives are not treated the same way.
Only tamper-resistant stations, secured in position and kept away from children, pets and wildlife.
We hold NSW Pest Management licence 5122967, and every product is APVMA-registered and used to label.
Right across 650+ suburbs of Sydney, with an urgent line running 24/7.

At roughly 22.2 km north-west of the city, Asquith is on a route we run regularly. Same-day attendance is usually available. You will be given a time, not a window.
Where bushland adjoins the block, the question is not how rats and mice got in but how often. The perimeter is what decides that.
Detached houses on bush edges, where re-entry is the issue rather than the initial treatment.
We do all of those. A good share of the Asquith jobs we run are tenanted or strata properties, so the written record comes as standard.
It is, provided the instructions are followed. We will tell you what to keep clear of and for how long before we leave. Let us know about children, pets or fish tanks when you book.
Usually not. Most of the work is done with you in the house, and where a room does need to be clear it is for a short period we will tell you about on arrival.
Allow one to two hours for a typical Asquith property. Larger homes, or ones where the problem has spread, take longer and we will say so when we quote.
Every general treatment carries a 6-month warranty. That is the point of the warranty - you do not pay twice for the same problem.
All of them. Asquith sits alongside Hornsby, Hornsby Heights, North Wahroonga and Mount Colah in our coverage, and they are serviced on the same schedule.
