Where Campsie sits, who covers it and what it costs.
If you are in Campsie or anywhere else in 2194, you are in our Canterbury-Bankstown patch, 10.9 km south-west of the CBD. We run Campsie on a regular route, and same-day attendance is usually available.
Our Campsie work takes in the streets by Sawyer Reserve and Campsie Shopping Centre, through to Belmore station at the other end.
The suburb sits in the Canterbury-Bankstown area. Belmore, Canterbury and Croydon Park are all covered on the same day, so a problem that has spread across a boundary can be handled in one visit. Terraces, semis and converted blocks share cavities and risers, which is why a single-unit treatment often does not hold on its own.
Most Campsie bookings come in as terraces and semis where the problem has come through a shared wall. Say which one applies when you call 1300 313 373 and the technician will have the right products on the van.
Beyond that we are regularly around Flockhart Park, and out as far as Anzac Park. If you are anywhere in 2194, you are inside the area we run.
The 2194 run is set the day before and you are given an arrival time. Where Belmore and Canterbury fall on the same round, we can usually bring the visit forward.
Rodent numbers do not creep up, they compound. Two in a Campsie ceiling in autumn is a very different proposition by the end of winter.
People seal the obvious holes and miss the ones that matter. Six millimetres is enough for a mouse; twelve for a rat, and it will gnaw a smaller one open. We walk the outside of a Campsie property looking at exactly that.
Before placing a single station we look at what is feeding them: compost, fruit trees, pet bowls, bird seed, bins. Remove the supply and the program works far faster.
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 →
A heavy-set rat with a blunt muzzle and a short tail. It works at ground level, burrowing into subfloors, drains, compost bays and the space under a slab.
Small enough to pass through a gap about the width of a pencil, and it stays near food - kitchens, pantries, the cavities behind them. Mice control →
Found near bushland, and native. It is a protected animal in NSW, which is why we confirm the species before anything else happens.
Most people never get a clear look. These are the clues our technicians use instead.
| Clue | Rats | Mice |
|---|---|---|
| Droppings | Large pellets shaped like capsules, generally in clusters along the run | Small droppings the size of rice grains, scattered widely including inside drawers |
| Noise | A heavy thump or drag in the roof, typically at night | Fast light scratching inside the wall and ceiling cavities |
| Where the signs are | The roof void and eaves, the subfloor, garden beds and under decking | Kitchen and pantry, behind the fridge and stove, and in bottom drawers |
| How small a gap | Around 12 mm upwards, and they can gnaw their way through less | Around 6 mm, the width of a pencil |
| Damage | Gnawed cabling, downpipes and irrigation, and fruit taken from the garden | Packets chewed, food nibbled, and paper shredded to make nests |
| Behaviour | Wary of new objects, so they take longer to visit a station | Curious, and investigate new objects quickly but feed in tiny amounts |
| Rub marks | Dark greasy rub marks on beams, rafters and around entry holes | Faint marks that are rarely noticed |

The NSW Health list of rodent-associated diseases includes leptospirosis, lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, rat bite fever and gastro infections like salmonellosis.
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.
Rats and mice both breed several times a year. A pair you notice in autumn is a colony by spring.
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.
What we recommend depends on three things: which rodent, what kind of building, and who is in it. That gives you baiting, trapping, proofing or a mix.
We secure tamper-resistant stations on the located runways, out of reach, and trap instead in any area where baiting would not suit.
We identify the entry points - gaps, vents, penetrations - and give you the option of us sealing them or doing 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 | Rodenticide held in tamper-resistant stations, fixed on the runways in use | Established activity in roof voids, subfloors and around the outside | Avoid where a dead rodent inside a cavity would cause odour |
| Trapping | Snap and enclosed traps along the walls and runways, on a checking schedule | Small indoor populations, kitchens, pantries and food businesses | Depends on correct placement and regular checking |
| Proofing | Gaps, vents, weep holes and service penetrations sealed with rodent-resistant material | All properties, after active rodents are under control | Does nothing about rodents already indoors - it follows the treatment |
| Monitoring | Non-toxic blocks or stations examined for gnaw damage and droppings | Businesses and strata, plus homes near reserves and waterways | Best value as an ongoing scheduled program |
Why baiting often outperforms DIY snap traps in roof voids: read our explainer.
Where terraces share a roof void or wall cavity with the house next door - common through the Inner West and Eastern Suburbs - rodents travel between them freely. We concentrate on the roof void, the subfloor and the service penetrations.
The rats are usually in the bin room or basement car park, the mice in the risers. That is why a single-unit treatment seldom works and a strata program on common property does.
The Food Standards Code, Standard 3.2.2, requires all practicable measures to keep pests out of a food business. Restaurant programs mean trapping in food areas, numbered stations elsewhere, and a site plan for the inspector.
Warehouses offer rodents cover at the dock, in the racking and above the ceiling. Our warehouse and office programs use perimeter stations on a monitoring schedule, with reports each visit.

Ducting and ceiling joists with droppings along them mark the routes in use, and the stations follow those routes.
Insulation shredded for nesting material under the floor is the signature of ground-level rats.
Stations are locked and secured where they sit, so bait cannot be pulled out by rodents, pets or children.
Feeding levels at the stations are the measure - they tell us the population is falling and when to scale back.
Insurance claims from rodent-damaged wiring are common and often disputed. Treating early is cheaper than arguing later.
Roof rats travel along branches and power lines and enter at the eaves. Cutting back the branch touching a Campsie roof removes the bridge entirely.
Rats are neophobic: anything new in their environment is avoided for days before it is investigated. That is why a baiting program in a Campsie roof void is not judged on the first visit, and why moving stations around resets the clock.
Nothing is baited until we know what it is. Rats, mice and protected natives are not treated the same way.
Tamper-resistant and locked, fixed where they sit, and never within reach of children, pets or wildlife.

At roughly 10.9 km south-west of the city, Campsie is on a route we run regularly. Same-day attendance is usually available. You will be given a time, not a window.
Terraces and semis share walls, roof voids and sub-floors, so rats and mice move between houses without ever going outside. That is the single biggest factor here.
Joined older housing, often with a paved rear courtyard holding damp against the wall. Both things shape the treatment.
Yes. Houses, townhouses, units, strata common property, rentals and commercial sites in Campsie 2194 are all part of what we do, and the paperwork is the kind agents accept.
It is, as long as you follow what we tell you on the day - usually keeping off treated surfaces for a couple of hours. Let us know at booking about young children, pets or an aquarium.
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.
For a standard Campsie home, one to two hours. We would rather tell you it will take longer up front than rush it.
Every general treatment carries a 6-month warranty. If it is not holding, call us - that is exactly what the warranty is for.
Yes - we work right across the Canterbury-Bankstown area, which takes in Campsie and the suburbs around it.
