What we cover in Clontarf, and how quickly we can get there.
Clontarf sits about 7.9 km north-east of the CBD in the Northern Beaches, and postcode 2093 is one we are in most weeks. Our technicians are through Clontarf most days, so same-day attendance is usually available.
Around Clontarf we work the pockets near Harbour View Reserve, Clontarf Beach and The Village - Balgowlah Stockland most often, so the van is rarely far away when a job comes in.
Under Northern Beaches, we cover Clontarf and Balgowlah Heights, Balgowlah and Seaforth alike. Salt air and sandy ground keep sub-floors damp here, and damp is what sustains a population.
Most Clontarf bookings come in as ground-floor units with a damp sub-floor, and houses where the garage sits below the living level. Say which one applies when you call 1300 313 373 and the technician will have the right products on the van.
We also work the streets near Balgowlah Golf Club and across toward Clontarf Reserve - the whole of 2093 is covered.
When you book, we confirm the 2093 run the day before and give you an arrival time rather than a window. If we are already out at Balgowlah Heights or Balgowlah that morning, we will usually offer you the earlier slot.
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 Clontarf property looking at exactly that.
A rodent problem is a food problem. Around Clontarf 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.
Rodents gnaw constantly to keep their incisors down, and in a Clontarf 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.
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 →
The heavier species: blunt snout, tail shorter than the body, and a burrowing habit that puts it in subfloors, drains, compost bays and beneath slabs.
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 →
A native species living near bushland reserves, and protected in NSW. Identification has to come first, before any decision about treatment.
Most people never get a clear look. These are the clues our technicians use instead.
| Clue | Rats | Mice |
|---|---|---|
| Droppings | Bigger capsule-shaped pellets, usually grouped along a runway | Tiny rice-grain pellets spread about, turning up in drawers and cupboards |
| Noise | A heavier thump or drag overhead, generally once it is dark | Quick light scratching and scurrying inside walls and ceilings |
| 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 |
| Typical damage | Cables, downpipes, irrigation and garden fruit all gnawed | Chewed-open packets, food nibbled at, shredded paper nesting material |
| Attitude to new things | Wary, so stations are not visited straight away | Curious, so stations get investigated fast - but each feed is tiny |
| Rub marks | Dark greasy rub marks on beams, rafters and around entry holes | Faint marks that are rarely noticed |

Among the diseases NSW Health links to rodents are leptospirosis, lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, rat bite fever and gastro infections including salmonellosis.
Rodents gnaw constantly to wear down their teeth. Cabling, gas and water lines in roof voids are common casualties.
Urine and droppings on benches and packaging mean food has to be thrown out and surfaces disinfected.
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.
We read the evidence first - droppings, rub marks, nests, runways - through the roof void, subfloor, kitchen and perimeter, and confirm the species from it.
Species, building type and occupants all feed into the recommendation, which may be baiting, trapping, proofing or a combination of them.
Lockable, tamper-resistant stations go on the runways we find, secured and out of reach, with trap placement where baiting isn't suitable.
You get shown every gap, vent and penetration they are using, with a quote to seal them - or instructions if you would rather do 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 blocks locked into tamper-resistant stations along the active runways | Roof voids, under floors and outdoor perimeters where there is real activity | Best avoided where an odour from a carcass in a cavity would be a problem |
| 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 | Gaps, vents, weep holes and pipe penetrations sealed with rodent-resistant materials | Every building, once the active population is under control | It will not clear rodents already inside, so it comes after treatment |
| 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.
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.
In a block the rats live in the bin room and car park while mice move through the risers. Treating your apartment alone rarely ends it; a strata program covering common property will.
Standard 3.2.2 of the Food Standards Code requires food businesses to take all practicable measures to keep pests out. Restaurant programs use trapping in food areas, numbered stations elsewhere and a site plan for inspectors.
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.

Droppings along the ducting and joists map the runways, which is exactly where stations belong.
Nesting material and torn-up insulation under the floor is what ground-dwelling rats leave behind.
We fix every station down. That stops bait being dragged out by a rodent, a pet or a curious child.
We check what has been taken from each station, which shows the population declining and signals when to reduce the program.
A new object in a rat's territory gets ignored, sometimes for the best part of a week. Mice do the opposite and investigate immediately. The two behaviours need different expectations and different schedules.
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.
Roof rats travel along branches and power lines and enter at the eaves. Cutting back the branch touching a Clontarf roof removes the bridge entirely.
Identification precedes any bait. Rats, mice and protected native rats each need a different answer.
Stations are tamper-resistant and fixed down, sited clear of children, pets and wildlife.

Get a Free QuoteRodent control starts from $89. The fixed price depends on the size of the property and how far the problem has spread, and we confirm it before we start - there is no call-out fee in Clontarf 2093. Every general treatment carries a 6-month warranty.
At roughly 7.9 km north-east of the city, Clontarf is on a route we run regularly. Same-day attendance is usually available. You will be given a time, not a window.
The air never really dries out near the water, so sub-floors and lower rooms hold moisture through the year. rats and mice need that damp more than they need food, and here they always have it.
Units close to the water, houses further back, and sub-floors that hold moisture in both.
Yes. Houses, townhouses, units, strata common property, rentals and commercial sites in Clontarf 2093 are all part of what we do, and the paperwork is the kind agents accept.
Yes, with the usual care. Everything is APVMA-registered and used to label, and we will work around pets, aquariums and anyone in the house with a respiratory condition if you tell us when you book.
Usually not. Most rodent control work is done with you there, and anything that needs the room vacated is for a short period we will tell you about beforehand.
Allow an hour to two hours for most properties. A bigger building, or one where the problem has spread, takes longer - and we would rather tell you that when quoting than rush it.
Every general treatment carries a 6-month warranty. So if they turn up again within the warranty, ring us and we will attend.
All of them. Clontarf sits alongside Balgowlah Heights, Balgowlah, Seaforth and Fairlight in our coverage, and they are serviced on the same schedule.
