Rodent Control in Greenacre 2190 — 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 Greenacre sits, who covers it and what it costs.
We treat rats and mice right across 2190. Greenacre is roughly 14.1 km west of the city, which puts it well inside the Canterbury-Bankstown run our technicians work. We run Greenacre on a regular route, and same-day attendance is usually available.
A lot of our Greenacre jobs are in the streets around Broadway Plaza and Wiley Park station, and we are out near Lakemba station regularly enough that the technician usually knows the access before they arrive.
Greenacre is in the Canterbury-Bankstown area, and we cover Mount Lewis, Wiley Park and Lakemba on the same runs - handy if you own more than one property or your rodent problem has come from next door. The building stock is close-packed, so we look at what the property adjoins before deciding where product goes.
The bulk of our Greenacre work is older semis with a paved rear courtyard and a sub-floor that no longer dries out. Mention the detail when you call 1300 313 373 - it decides how long we need on site.
Our Greenacre runs also take in Allum Park and the area near Parry Park, so the whole postcode is served.
When you book, we confirm the 2190 run the day before and give you an arrival time rather than a window. If we are already out at Mount Lewis or Wiley Park that morning, we will usually offer you the earlier slot.
A mouse gets through a gap the width of a pencil and a rat through one about the width of your thumb. Around Greenacre the usual ways in are weep holes, the gap under a roller door, and the hole a plumber cut and never sealed.
Water pipes, downpipes, flexible gas lines and conduit all get gnawed. A small rodent problem in a Greenacre ceiling can become an expensive one through damage rather than numbers.
Before placing a single station we look at what is feeding them: compost, fruit trees, pet bowls, bird seed, bins. Remove the supply and the program works far faster.
Three introduced rodents cause almost every rodent job in Sydney. A fourth, the native bush rat, needs to be recognised and left alone.
A lightweight, agile rat with large thin ears and a long tail. Everything about it suits height - roof spaces, cavities, palm crowns and thick planting. 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.
Tiny - a gap the width of a pencil is enough - and it rarely strays far from food in the kitchen, the pantry or the wall cavity behind. Mice control →
Native, and protected under NSW law. It lives near bushland reserves, so on those properties identification comes 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 you find signs | Roof void, eaves, subfloor, garden beds, under decks | Kitchen, pantry, behind the fridge and stove, bottom drawers |
| Entry gap | About 12 mm or more, enlarged by gnawing where it is tighter | About 6 mm - a pencil's width |
| Damage you find | Gnawing on cabling, downpipes and irrigation lines, and damage to garden fruit | Chewed packaging, nibbled food and 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 marks | Dark smears where they rub past beams, rafters and entry points | Light marks, usually missed |

NSW Health associates rodents with leptospirosis, lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, rat bite fever and gastro illnesses such as 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.
Both rats and mice breed several times a year, so a pair noticed in autumn can be a colony by 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.
Tamper-resistant lockable stations are fixed on the runways we located, out of reach, and traps go where baiting is not appropriate.
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 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 the gaps, vents, weep holes and penetrations using rodent-resistant material | All properties, after activity has been brought under control | Does nothing for rodents already indoors - treatment comes first |
| Monitoring | Non-toxic blocks or stations, inspected for gnaw marks and droppings | Commercial sites, strata buildings and homes backing onto reserves or water | Most useful run as a scheduled ongoing 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.
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.

Droppings along ducting and ceiling joists show the runways rodents use, and that's where stations go.
Insulation shredded for nesting material under the floor is the signature of ground-level rats.
Stations are locked and secured where they sit, so bait cannot be pulled out by rodents, pets or children.
Reading the feeding at each station is how we know the population is dropping and when to wind the program back.
Flattened or tunnelled insulation in a Greenacre ceiling is nesting, not storm damage. It is also where droppings and urine accumulate, which is the contamination issue.
Rats are neophobic: anything new in their environment is avoided for days before it is investigated. That is why a baiting program in a Greenacre roof void is not judged on the first visit, and why moving stations around resets the clock.
The maths is the argument for acting early. Treating two mice costs a fraction of treating the thirty they become.
We confirm the species on site first. Putting bait down before knowing whether it is a protected native is not acceptable.
Tamper-resistant and locked, fixed where they sit, and never within reach of children, pets or wildlife.

Most of this area is terrace, semi and converted block, and those share more than people realise - cavities, roof spaces, drainage. rats and mice use all of it.
Joined housing with ageing drainage. That combination decides where product goes far more than the floor plan does.
Yes. Houses, townhouses, units, strata common property, rentals and commercial sites in Greenacre 2190 are all part of what we do, and the paperwork is the kind agents accept.
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.
In the great majority of jobs, no. If one area needs to be left for an hour or two we say so before we start rather than after.
Typically one to two hours on site. What extends it is size, access and how far the problem has gone, all of which are accounted for in the quote.
Every general treatment carries a 6-month warranty. Call us if activity picks up again and we will arrange the return visit.
All of them. Greenacre sits alongside Mount Lewis, Wiley Park, Lakemba and Belfield in our coverage, and they are serviced on the same schedule.
