Rodent Control in Eveleigh 2015 — local technicians, fixed prices and a written report. Rodent control starts from $89.
Real, verified feedback from people we've helped — straight from Google.
Local technicians, fixed prices and a written report for every job in Eveleigh.
Eveleigh is part of the Sydney CBD & Inner City, 3.4 km or so south-west of the GPO, and 2015 is a postcode we know well. Our technicians are through Eveleigh most days, so same-day attendance is usually available.
Most weeks we are somewhere between Alexandria Park and Broadway Shopping Centre in Eveleigh, and Broadway Shopping Centre is close enough to be on the same run.
We cover Darlington, Erskineville and Newtown on the same runs as Eveleigh, which helps when rodent problems are moving between neighbouring properties. Apartment stock means shared services, so a single-unit treatment holds only if the rest of the building is not feeding it.
The bulk of our Eveleigh work is units in towers where the kitchen backs onto shared services. Mention the detail when you call 1300 313 373 - it decides how long we need on site.
We cover the remainder of 2015 as well, from Macdonaldtown station through to Redfern station.
We confirm your slot the day before and arrive at a stated time. Darlington and Erskineville sit on the same run, so earlier appointments in 2015 come up regularly.
Noise helps too. Mice scurry light and fast in wall cavities; rats are heavier and tend to run along ceiling joists. In Eveleigh roofs we hear both.
Rodent numbers do not creep up, they compound. Two in a Eveleigh ceiling in autumn is a very different proposition by the end of winter.
A rodent problem is a food problem. Around Eveleigh 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.
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 for a six-millimetre gap, and it stays near food - kitchen, pantry, and the wall cavity behind. 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 | Capsule-shaped and clearly bigger, gathered along a runway | Rice-grain pellets spread about widely, drawers and cupboards included |
| Noise | Heavy movement - thumps and dragging - in the roof, usually at night | Light rapid scratching and scurrying in the walls and ceiling |
| 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 |
| 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 | Cabling, downpipes and irrigation gnawed, and fruit taken in the garden | Packets chewed open, food nibbled, paper shredded for nesting |
| Behaviour | Neophobic - they avoid anything new, so stations take time to be visited | Curious, investigating new objects fast but feeding only in small amounts |
| Smear marks | Dark rubbing on beams, rafters and the edges of entry holes | Light marks that are seldom noticed |
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.
A licensed Sydney technician will talk it through and give you a fixed quote within half an hour.
The NSW Health list of rodent-associated diseases includes leptospirosis, lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, rat bite fever and gastro infections like 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.
Urine and droppings on benches and packaging mean food has to be thrown out and surfaces disinfected.
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.
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.
Lockable stations, secured on the identified runways and out of reach - with traps used in the places baiting does not suit.
The gaps, vents and service penetrations in use are pointed out, and we either quote to seal them or tell you how to.
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 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 checked each visit for gnawing and droppings | Businesses, strata properties, and homes near bushland or waterways | Designed as an ongoing scheduled service rather than a one-off |
Why baiting often outperforms DIY snap traps in roof voids: read our explainer.
In Inner West and Eastern Suburbs terraces the roof void and wall cavities often run between properties, letting rodents move at will. Roof void, subfloor and service entry points are where we work.
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.
Food Standards Code Standard 3.2.2 obliges food businesses to take all practicable measures against pests. Restaurant programs trap inside food areas, number the stations beyond them, and provide the site plan an inspector asks for.
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.

Where droppings line the ducting and ceiling joists, that is the runway - and that is where the stations are placed.
Finding shredded insulation and nest material in the subfloor points to ground-level rat activity.
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.
Roof rats travel along branches and power lines and enter at the eaves. Cutting back the branch touching a Eveleigh roof removes the bridge entirely.
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 Eveleigh wall is a genuine entry point rather than a detail.
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.
Rats, mice, or a protected native species - that gets confirmed on site before any bait is placed.
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 Eveleigh 2015. Every general treatment carries a 6-month warranty.
Same-day attendance is usually available. Eveleigh is about 3.4 km south-west of the CBD in the Sydney CBD & Inner City, and we give you a firm arrival time rather than an all-day window.
Waste is centralised in a tower - chutes, bin rooms, loading areas - and that concentration is what keeps rats and mice fed. Height makes no difference; the risers are a staircase.
Apartments throughout, which means treating your lot and scoping the building where the pattern points at common property.
We do. A lot of our Eveleigh work is rentals and strata, so the report, the products used and the areas treated are all recorded in writing for whoever needs them.
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.
You do not normally need to leave. Anything requiring an empty room is short, and you will know about it before the work starts.
Usually between one and two hours on site. Bigger properties and heavier infestations take more, and that is included in the quote rather than added afterwards.
Every general treatment carries a 6-month warranty. So if they turn up again within the warranty, ring us and we will attend.
We cover the whole of Eveleigh, from the streets around Broadway Shopping Centre out to the suburb boundary and on into Darlington.
