Rodent Control in Burraneer 2230 — local technicians, fixed prices and a written report. Rodent control starts from $89.
Real, verified feedback from people we've helped — straight from Google.
Where Burraneer sits, who covers it and what it costs.
We treat rats and mice right across 2230. Burraneer is roughly 23.4 km south of the city, which puts it well inside the Sutherland Shire run our technicians work. We run Burraneer on a regular route, and same-day attendance is usually available.
The Burraneer addresses we attend cluster around Maian Bar Beach and Binaville Avenue Reserve. Shiprock Reserve is another part of the suburb we are called to often.
The suburb sits in the Sutherland Shire area. Maianbar, Dolans Bay and Port Hacking are all covered on the same day, so a problem that has spread across a boundary can be handled in one visit. Bush edges keep re-supplying the problem, which is why we treat the boundary rather than only the interior.
Burraneer jobs tend to be houses backing onto a reserve, where the pressure is constant from outside. Let us know which when you ring and we will plan the visit around it.
Every part of 2230 is covered as standard.
The 2230 run is set the day before and you are given an arrival time. Where Maianbar and Dolans Bay fall on the same round, we can usually bring the visit forward.
Rodents stay where food is reliable. On a Burraneer property that is usually the compost, the fruit tree or the pet bowl rather than anything inside the house.
The maths is the argument for acting early. Treating two mice costs a fraction of treating the thirty they become.
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 Burraneer wall is a genuine entry point rather than a detail.
Three introduced rodents cause almost every rodent job in Sydney. A fourth, the native bush rat, needs to be recognised and left alone.
Slender and an excellent climber, with large thin ears and a tail longer than the body. It lives above you - roof voids, wall cavities, palms and thick vegetation. Rat control →
Thickset with a blunt muzzle and short tail. It digs rather than climbs, so look in the subfloor, the drain lines, the compost and under slabs.
Small enough to use gaps around the width of a pencil. Stays close to food in kitchens, pantries and wall cavities. Mice control →
A native animal found near bushland reserves. It is protected in NSW, so correct identification comes before any treatment decision.
Most people never get a clear look. These are the clues our technicians use instead.
| Clue | Rats | Mice |
|---|---|---|
| Droppings | Sizeable capsule-shaped pellets, typically grouped along a runway | Small rice-like droppings spread widely, including in drawers and cupboards |
| Noise | Thumping and dragging sounds in the roof space, mostly after dark | Fast, light scratching and scurrying through wall and ceiling cavities |
| Where you see evidence | Roof void, eaves, under the floor, in garden beds and beneath decks | The kitchen and pantry, behind white goods, and in the lowest drawers |
| Entry gaps | Around 12 mm or larger, and they can gnaw it bigger | Around 6 mm, roughly the width of a pencil |
| Damage you find | Gnawing on cabling, downpipes and irrigation lines, and damage to garden fruit | Chewed packaging, nibbled food and paper torn up for nests |
| Behaviour around stations | Neophobic: they avoid new objects at first, delaying the first visit | Curious by nature, investigating quickly but taking only small amounts |
| Smear marks | Dark rubbing on beams, rafters and the edges of entry holes | Light marks that are seldom noticed |

Among the diseases NSW Health links to rodents are leptospirosis, lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, rat bite fever and gastro infections including salmonellosis.
Their teeth never stop growing, so they gnaw constantly - and cabling, gas lines and water pipes in the roof void are what they reach first.
Where urine and droppings have reached benches or packaging, the food has to go and the surfaces need disinfecting.
Rats and mice breed several times annually, so an autumn sighting of two is a spring colony.
From working out what's in the roof to confirming it's gone.
Roof void, subfloor, kitchen and perimeter are searched for droppings, rub marks, nests and runways, which also settles whether it is 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.
Tamper-resistant lockable stations are fixed on the runways we located, out of reach, and traps go where baiting is not appropriate.
We show you the gaps, vents and penetrations rodents are using and quote to seal them, or explain how to do it yourself.
Follow-up visits read and refill the stations and record activity, and the program winds down when feeding ceases.
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 | Rodenticide blocks held inside tamper-resistant stations on the active runs | Roof voids, subfloors and outdoor perimeters where activity is established | Unsuitable where a carcass in a cavity would create odour problems |
| Trapping | Snap traps or enclosed traps placed along walls and runways and checked on schedule | Kitchens and pantries, food premises, and small indoor numbers | Only works if placement is right and the traps are checked regularly |
| Proofing | Sealing every gap, vent, weep hole and pipe penetration with rodent-resistant materials | Every building, once activity has been brought down | Seals them out, not in - so treatment has to come first |
| Monitoring | Non-toxic monitoring blocks or stations checked for gnawing and droppings | Businesses, strata buildings and homes near reserves or waterways | Works best as an ongoing scheduled service |
Why baiting often outperforms DIY snap traps in roof voids: read our explainer.
A terrace usually shares structure with its neighbours, so rodents are rarely confined to one house. We target the roof void, the subfloor and the points where services penetrate.
Bin rooms and basement car parks house the rats; mice use the service risers. One unit treated alone rarely resolves it - a strata program across common property 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 spaces give rodents plenty of cover. Warehouse and office programs use perimeter stations and scheduled monitoring with reports.

The droppings trace the runway along ducting and joists, and stations go on the runway rather than anywhere convenient.
Insulation shredded for nesting material under the floor is the signature of ground-level rats.
Each station is fixed in place so nothing - rodent, pet or child - can drag the bait out of it.
Reading the feeding at each station is how we know the population is dropping and when to wind the program back.
Rats are neophobic: anything new in their environment is avoided for days before it is investigated. That is why a baiting program in a Burraneer roof void is not judged on the first visit, and why moving stations around resets the clock.
Scratching overhead after dark usually means a nest rather than a visitor. In a Burraneer roof the nest is normally in the insulation near a warm spot, and that is where the job is - not the whole cavity.
A mouse will nest in a drawer or a wall void; a rat wants the roof cavity or the sub-floor. Knowing which you have decides where everything goes.
Rats, mice or a protected native? We confirm it on site before any bait goes down.
Stations are tamper-resistant and fixed down, sited clear of children, pets and wildlife.

Same-day attendance is usually available. Burraneer sits roughly 23.4 km south of the CBD, inside our Sutherland Shire run, so we book a time and keep to it.
Undisturbed ground, leaf litter and fallen timber right to the boundary mean rats and mice are always established next to the house. Re-entry, not eradication, is what we are managing here.
Houses on larger, often sloping blocks with bush on at least one boundary, so the perimeter and the fence line are central to the job.
We do. A lot of our Burraneer work is rentals and strata, so the report, the products used and the areas treated are all recorded in writing for whoever needs them.
Yes. The products are registered for this use and applied at label rates, and placement keeps them away from where children and animals go. Let us know at booking about pets, fish tanks or anyone with asthma and we will plan the visit around it.
In the great majority of jobs, no. If one area needs to be left for an hour or two we say so before we start rather than after.
Between one and two hours covers the majority of jobs. We do not book so tightly that a technician has to cut a job short.
Every general treatment carries a 6-month warranty. That is the point of the warranty - you do not pay twice for the same problem.
We cover the whole of Burraneer, from the streets around Shiprock Reserve out to the suburb boundary and on into Maianbar.
