Rodent Control in Dundas 2117 — 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 Dundas sits, who covers it and what it costs.
We treat rats and mice right across 2117. Dundas is roughly 17.6 km north-west of the city, which puts it well inside the Greater Parramatta & Cumberland run our technicians work. We run Dundas on a regular route, and same-day attendance is usually available.
Around Dundas we work the pockets near Rydalmere Park, Rangihou Reserve and Eric Primrose Reserve most often, so the van is rarely far away when a job comes in.
This is the City of Parramatta and Cumberland area, and our runs here also take in Rydalmere, Telopea and Oatlands. The building stock is close-packed, so we look at what the property adjoins before deciding where product goes.
The rodent calls we take from Dundas are mostly older semis with a paved rear courtyard and a sub-floor that no longer dries out. If yours is one of them, mention it when you ring 1300 313 373 - it changes what the technician brings.
The rest of 2117 is covered too, including the pockets around Dundas station and Yallamundi station.
Bookings for 2117 are confirmed the day before with a set arrival time, not an all-day window. Jobs at Rydalmere and Telopea often share the same run, which is how earlier slots come up.
Water pipes, downpipes, flexible gas lines and conduit all get gnawed. A small rodent problem in a Dundas ceiling can become an expensive one through damage rather than numbers.
A mouse gets through a gap the width of a pencil and a rat through one about the width of your thumb. Around Dundas the usual ways in are weep holes, the gap under a roller door, and the hole a plumber cut and never sealed.
Rodent numbers do not creep up, they compound. Two in a Dundas ceiling in autumn is a very different proposition by the end of winter.
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 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 use gaps around the width of a pencil. Stays close to food in kitchens, pantries and wall cavities. Mice control →
This is a native animal with legal protection in NSW. Correct identification is not a formality here - it determines whether treatment is lawful at all.
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 it shows up | Roof void and eaves, subfloor, garden beds, underneath decking | Kitchen and pantry areas, behind the fridge and stove, bottom drawers |
| Entry gaps | 12 mm or bigger, though they will chew a tighter gap open | 6 mm or so, about the width of a pencil |
| What they damage | Gnawed cables, downpipes and irrigation lines, plus garden fruit | Chewed packaging and nibbled food, with 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 |
| Grease and rub marks | Dark marks where they rub along beams, rafters and entry holes | Faint marks, not often seen |

NSW Health associates rodents with leptospirosis, lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, rat bite fever and gastro illnesses such as 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.
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.
First the evidence: droppings, rub marks, nests and runways through the roof void, subfloor, kitchen and perimeter, which tells us if it is rats, mice or both.
Three things decide it: which rodent, what sort of building, and who is in it - children, pets, food handling. From there it is baiting, trapping, proofing or a mix.
We place lockable, tamper-resistant stations along the runways, fixed down and out of reach, using traps wherever baiting is not the right call.
Every gap, vent and service penetration in use gets pointed out, and you can have us seal them or take the list and 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 or enclosed traps along wall lines and runways, serviced on schedule | Kitchens, pantries, food premises and small indoor populations | Depends on correct placement and being checked regularly |
| Proofing | Rodent-resistant sealing of gaps, vents, weep holes and pipe penetrations | Every property, once the active population is controlled | Won't clear rodents already inside, so it is done after 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.
Shared roof voids and wall cavities are normal in Inner West and Eastern Suburbs terraces, and rodents use them to move between houses. The work centres on the roof void, subfloor and the gaps where services come in.
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.
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.
Loading docks, pallet racking and ceiling spaces give rodents plenty of cover. Warehouse and office programs use perimeter stations and scheduled monitoring with reports.

Droppings along ducting and ceiling joists show the runways rodents use, and that's where stations go.
Nesting material and torn-up insulation under the floor is what ground-dwelling rats leave behind.
Each station is fixed in place so nothing - rodent, pet or child - can drag the bait out of it.
The feeding rate at each station tells us whether numbers are falling and when scaling back is appropriate.
Noise helps too. Mice scurry light and fast in wall cavities; rats are heavier and tend to run along ceiling joists. In Dundas roofs we hear both.
Rats are neophobic: anything new in their environment is avoided for days before it is investigated. That is why a baiting program in a Dundas 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 Dundas roof the nest is normally in the insulation near a warm spot, and that is where the job is - not the whole cavity.
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.

Same-day attendance is usually available. Dundas is about 17.6 km north-west of the CBD in the Greater Parramatta & Cumberland, and we give you a firm arrival time rather than an all-day window.
These houses were built joined together, and they have aged that way. Party walls, continuous roof voids and shared drainage give rats and mice a route your front door has no bearing on.
Mostly terrace and semi. We look at the party wall, the sub-floor and the roof space, because those are the routes between houses.
Yes - freestanding homes, townhouses, apartments, rentals and business premises in Dundas 2117 are all covered, with documentation suitable for an agent or a strata manager.
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.
Most of the time you can carry on as normal. If a particular area needs to be empty we will flag it when we arrive and it is rarely more than a couple of hours.
Most rodent control jobs in a Dundas 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. A return visit within the warranty period costs you nothing.
All of them. Dundas sits alongside Rydalmere, Telopea, Oatlands and Camellia in our coverage, and they are serviced on the same schedule.
