Rodent Control in Glebe 2037 — local technicians, fixed prices and a written report. Rodent control starts from $89.
Real, verified feedback from people we've helped — straight from Google.
What we cover in Glebe, and how quickly we can get there.
We treat rats and mice right across 2037. Glebe is roughly 2.4 km south-west of the city, which puts it well inside the Sydney CBD & Inner City run our technicians work. Our technicians are through Glebe most days, so same-day attendance is usually available.
Most weeks we are somewhere between Dr HJ Foley Rest Park and St James Park in Glebe, and Broadway Shopping Centre is close enough to be on the same run.
Our runs through Glebe also take in Forest Lodge, Ultimo and Annandale. Nearly everything here is apartments, so the question is always whether the problem is in your flat or in the building - the risers, the bin room, the wall cavities between lots.
Around Glebe the pattern is fairly consistent: apartments where the problem turns out to be in the riser or the bin room rather than the flat. Tell us which it is on the phone and we will come prepared for it.
We cover the remainder of 2037 as well, from Broadway Shopping Centre through to Wentworth Park station.
The 2037 run is set the day before and you are given an arrival time. Where Forest Lodge and Ultimo fall on the same round, we can usually bring the visit forward.
Rodents stay where food is reliable. On a Glebe property that is usually the compost, the fruit tree or the pet bowl rather than anything inside the house.
A mouse gets through a gap the width of a pencil and a rat through one about the width of your thumb. Around Glebe the usual ways in are weep holes, the gap under a roller door, and the hole a plumber cut and never sealed.
Insurance claims from rodent-damaged wiring are common and often disputed. Treating early is cheaper than arguing later.
Three introduced rodents cause almost every rodent job in Sydney. A fourth, the native bush rat, needs to be recognised and left alone.
Slim, long-tailed and thin-eared. This is the one in the roof void, the wall cavity, the palm tree and the dense hedge. Rat control →
Stocky, blunt-snouted, and with a tail shorter than the body. A burrower rather than a climber: subfloors, drain lines, compost and under slabs.
Small enough to use gaps around the width of a pencil. Stays close to food in kitchens, pantries and wall cavities. 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 | Large pellets shaped like capsules, generally in clusters along the run | Small droppings the size of rice grains, scattered widely including inside drawers |
| Noise | Louder thumping or dragging overhead after dark | Rapid, light scratching and scurrying within walls and ceilings |
| Location of signs | Up in the roof and eaves, down in the subfloor, plus garden beds and decks | Kitchen, pantry, the gap behind the fridge and stove, 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 |
| What gets damaged | Cabling, downpipes and irrigation gnawed through, plus fruit in the garden | Packets chewed open, food nibbled, and paper shredded for nesting |
| Behaviour | Wary of new objects, so they take longer to visit a station | Curious, and investigate new objects quickly but feed in tiny amounts |
| Grease and rub marks | Dark marks where they rub along beams, rafters and entry holes | Faint marks, not often seen |

Among the diseases NSW Health links to rodents are leptospirosis, lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, rat bite fever and gastro infections including salmonellosis.
Because their incisors keep growing, they gnaw continually. Electrical cabling, gas and water lines in the roof are the common victims.
Droppings and urine across benches and packaging mean discarding the food and disinfecting everything they touched.
Both breed repeatedly through the year, which is how a pair in autumn turns into a colony come spring.
From working out what's in the roof to confirming it's gone.
The roof void, subfloor, kitchen and perimeter are inspected for droppings, rub marks, nests and runways, and we establish whether you have rats, mice or both.
Based on the species, the building and who lives there (children, pets, food handling), we recommend baiting, trapping, proofing or a combination.
We place lockable, tamper-resistant stations along the runways, fixed down and out of reach, using traps wherever baiting is not the right call.
The entry points are identified and shown to you, with the option of a quote to proof them or instructions to handle 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 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 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 | 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 | Non-toxic monitoring stations read for gnaw marks and droppings | Strata, commercial sites and homes close to bushland or water | Best run as a continuing scheduled program |
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 often live in bin rooms and basement car parks, and mice travel through service risers. Treating one unit rarely fixes it. A strata program covering common property usually does.
Under Standard 3.2.2 of the Food Standards Code a food business must take all practicable measures to exclude pests. Restaurant programs trap in food areas, use numbered stations elsewhere, and come with a site plan for inspectors.
There is cover everywhere in a warehouse - the dock, the racking, the ceiling space. Warehouse and office programs run perimeter stations with scheduled monitoring and written reports.

The droppings trace the runway along ducting and joists, and stations go on the runway rather than anywhere convenient.
Shredded insulation and nesting material under the floor is typical of ground-level rat activity.
Secured in position and lockable, so the bait stays inside regardless of rodents, pets or children.
Checking feeding at each station tells us when the population is falling and when to scale back.
A female mouse can produce a litter every three weeks, and those young breed at six weeks. A single pair in a Glebe roof in March is a serious population by June, which is why waiting rarely works out.
Rats are neophobic: anything new in their environment is avoided for days before it is investigated. That is why a baiting program in a Glebe roof void is not judged on the first visit, and why moving stations around resets the clock.
Roof rats travel along branches and power lines and enter at the eaves. Cutting back the branch touching a Glebe roof removes the bridge entirely.
Rats, mice or a protected native? We confirm it on site before any bait goes down.
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 Glebe 2037. Every general treatment carries a 6-month warranty.
At roughly 2.4 km south-west of the city, Glebe is on a route we run regularly. Same-day attendance is usually available. You will be given a time, not a window.
What drives it in a high-density pocket is the common property. Risers, bin rooms and wall cavities connect every lot, so rats and mice are never really dealt with one apartment at a time.
Nearly all units. That changes the method - gels and baits into cavities rather than anything sprayed across shared surfaces.
Yes - freestanding homes, townhouses, apartments, rentals and business premises in Glebe 2037 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.
Generally no. We will tell you on arrival if any part of the job means keeping out of a room for a while, so there are no surprises.
Most rodent control jobs in a Glebe 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. So if they turn up again within the warranty, ring us and we will attend.
We do. Glebe and Forest Lodge, Ultimo, Annandale and Pyrmont are all on the same route, which helps if you own more than one property in the area.
