Real, verified feedback from people we've helped — straight from Google.
Where Cremorne Point sits, who covers it and what it costs.
Postcode 2090 covers Cremorne Point and the streets immediately around it. At about 3.6 km north-east of the CBD it falls in the Lower North Shore, where we have vans out daily. Our technicians are through Cremorne Point most days, so same-day attendance is usually available.
Our Cremorne Point work takes in the streets by Sydney Harbour National Park and Corner Beach, through to Greenwood Plaza at the other end.
Under North Sydney, Mosman, Willoughby, Lane Cove and Hunters Hill, we cover Cremorne Point and Neutral Bay, Mosman and Cremorne alike. Period homes near the harbour tend to have sub-floors, original timber and gardens running down to the boundary, so the inspection covers well beyond the kitchen.
Cremorne Point jobs tend to be waterfront and near-waterfront homes with damp sub-floors and mature gardens. Let us know which when you ring and we will plan the visit around it.
Cammeray Golf Course and Milsons Point station are on the same round, which means every part of 2090 is within our area.
Bookings for 2090 are confirmed the day before with a set arrival time, not an all-day window. Jobs at Neutral Bay and Mosman often share the same run, which is how earlier slots come up.
Rats are neophobic: anything new in their environment is avoided for days before it is investigated. That is why a baiting program in a Cremorne Point roof void is not judged on the first visit, and why moving stations around resets the clock.
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 Cremorne Point job wastes the first fortnight.
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 Cremorne Point property looking at exactly that.
Three introduced rodents cause almost every rodent job in Sydney. A fourth, the native bush rat, needs to be recognised and left alone.
Light-framed and built for climbing, with big thin ears and a tail longer than its body. You find it high up: in the roof void, the wall cavity, palms and dense trees. 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.
Tiny, and able to pass a gap the width of a pencil. It lives close to its food in kitchens, pantries and the cavities behind them. Mice control →
A protected native animal, common near bushland reserves in Sydney. Nothing is decided about treatment until the species is confirmed.
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 |
| Gap they need | About 12 mm and up - and they will gnaw a small one wider | About 6 mm, which is roughly a pencil's width |
| What they damage | Gnawed cables, downpipes and irrigation lines, plus garden fruit | Chewed packaging and nibbled food, with paper torn up for nests |
| Attitude to new things | Wary, so stations are not visited straight away | Curious, so stations get investigated fast - but each feed is tiny |
| Grease and rub marks | Dark marks where they rub along beams, rafters and entry holes | Faint marks, not often seen |
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.

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.
Several litters a year from both species means the two you saw in autumn have become a population by spring.
From working out what's in the roof to confirming it's gone.
We go through the roof void, under the floor, the kitchen and the perimeter looking for droppings, rub marks, nests and runways - and confirm the species.
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, secured on the runways and out of reach. Where baiting does not suit, we trap instead.
Every gap, vent and penetration they use is marked up, with a quote to proof them or guidance if you want to handle it.
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 secured inside tamper-resistant stations on active runways | Roof voids, subfloors and outdoor perimeters with established activity | Not ideal where a carcass in a cavity would cause odour problems |
| Trapping | Enclosed and snap traps set on runways and wall lines, checked to a schedule | Small indoor populations in kitchens, pantries and food businesses | Requires the right placement and a kept schedule |
| 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.
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.
Rats favour bin rooms and basement car parks, mice the service risers. A one-unit treatment is rarely enough - the building needs a strata program.
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.
Loading docks, pallet racking and ceiling spaces give rodents plenty of cover. Warehouse and office programs use perimeter stations and scheduled monitoring with reports.

Ducting and ceiling joists with droppings along them mark the routes in use, and the stations follow those routes.
Shredded insulation used as nesting material in the subfloor is typical ground-level rat work.
Secured in position and lockable, so the bait stays inside regardless of rodents, pets or children.
We check what has been taken from each station, which shows the population declining and signals when to reduce the program.
Insurance claims from rodent-damaged wiring are common and often disputed. Treating early is cheaper than arguing later.
Rodents stay where food is reliable. On a Cremorne Point property that is usually the compost, the fruit tree or the pet bowl rather than anything inside the house.
Scratching overhead after dark usually means a nest rather than a visitor. In a Cremorne Point roof the nest is normally in the insulation near a warm spot, and that is where the job is - not the whole cavity.
We confirm the species on site first. Putting bait down before knowing whether it is a protected native is not acceptable.
Tamper-resistant stations, fixed in place, away from children, pets and wildlife.

At roughly 3.6 km north-east of the city, Cremorne Point is on a route we run regularly. Same-day attendance is usually available. You will be given a time, not a window.
Established gardens, original timber and sub-floors that no longer breathe - that is the profile of a harbourside house, and it suits rats and mice very well.
Period stock on sloping blocks. The lower level and the sub-floor do most of the explaining.
We do all of those. A good share of the Cremorne Point jobs we run are tenanted or strata properties, so the written record comes as standard.
Yes, when it is applied properly. We use registered products at label rates and tell you which areas to keep clear and for how long. Mention pets, fish tanks or allergies 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.
Most rodent control jobs in a Cremorne Point home take between one and two hours on site, depending on the size of the property and how much of it is affected.
Every general treatment carries a 6-month warranty. Call us if activity picks up again and we will arrange the return visit.
Yes. As well as Cremorne Point we cover Neutral Bay, Mosman, Cremorne and Milsons Point on the same runs, so a job that crosses a boundary can be handled in one visit.
