Where Kirrawee sits, who covers it and what it costs.
If you are in Kirrawee or anywhere else in 2232, you are in our Sutherland Shire patch, 22.5 km south-west of the CBD. We run Kirrawee on a regular route, and same-day attendance is usually available.
If you are near Kareela Golf Course, Kirrawee station or Pollard Park, that is ground we cover constantly - it is the busiest part of Kirrawee for us.
Sutherland Shire is the council area for Kirrawee, and we treat Sutherland, Gymea and Gymea Bay on the same schedule. Backing onto bush means re-entry is the issue, so proofing and the perimeter do the real work here.
What we see in Kirrawee is homes on sloping blocks with a sub-floor and bush on the boundary. Describing it accurately when you book saves a second visit.
Sutherland Leisure Center and Ninth Avenue Reserve are on the same round, which means every part of 2232 is within our area.
You get a confirmed time, not a window. We plan the 2232 run the day before, and if Sutherland or Gymea is on the same round there is often an earlier slot going.
Rodents gnaw constantly to keep their incisors down, and in a Kirrawee roof void that means cabling. Chewed insulation on live wiring is a genuine fire risk and it is the reason we do not treat this as a nuisance problem.
Roof rats travel along branches and power lines and enter at the eaves. Cutting back the branch touching a Kirrawee roof removes the bridge entirely.
A rodent problem is a food problem. Around Kirrawee 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.
A slim climber with a tail longer than its body and large thin ears. Lives up high: roof voids, wall cavities, palms and dense trees. 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 pass through a gap about the width of a pencil, and it stays near food - kitchens, pantries, 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 | Large pellets shaped like capsules, generally in clusters along the run | Small droppings the size of rice grains, scattered widely including inside drawers |
| Noise | Heavy movement - thumps and dragging - in the roof, usually at night | Light rapid scratching and scurrying in the walls and ceiling |
| Where it shows up | Roof void and eaves, subfloor, garden beds, underneath decking | Kitchen and pantry areas, behind the fridge and stove, bottom drawers |
| Gap size needed | Roughly 12 mm upwards, and gnawing will widen anything less | Roughly 6 mm, 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 |
| Smear marks | Dark rubbing on beams, rafters and the edges of entry holes | Light marks that are seldom noticed |

NSW Health associates rodents with leptospirosis, lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, rat bite fever and gastro illnesses such as salmonellosis.
Rodents have to gnaw to wear their teeth down, and roof-void cabling, gas lines and water pipes are the usual casualties.
Once there is urine and droppings on the bench and the packaging, the food goes out and the surfaces get disinfected.
Rats and mice breed several times annually, so an autumn sighting of two is a spring colony.
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.
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 penetration they use is marked up, with a quote to proof them or guidance if you want to handle it.
We return to check and refill the stations, record what activity there is, and wind the program back once feeding has stopped.
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 | 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.
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 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.
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.

Droppings along the ducting and joists map the runways, which is exactly where stations belong.
Shredded insulation and nesting material under the floor is typical of ground-level rat activity.
Stations are locked and secured where they sit, so bait cannot be pulled out by rodents, pets or children.
Checking feeding at each station tells us when the population is falling and when to scale back.
If nothing has been taken from a station after a few days in a Kirrawee job, that is normal for rats rather than a failed treatment. We leave stations in place precisely because moving them starts the wariness again.
The maths is the argument for acting early. Treating two mice costs a fraction of treating the thirty they become.
A mouse will nest in a drawer or a wall void; a rat wants the roof cavity or the sub-floor. Knowing which you have decides where everything goes.
Nothing is baited until we know what it is. Rats, mice and protected natives are not treated the same way.
We use tamper-resistant stations exclusively, fixed in place and positioned away from children, pets and wildlife.
We hold NSW Pest Management licence 5122967, and every product is APVMA-registered and used to label.
We cover 650+ Sydney suburbs, and there is a 24/7 line for anything urgent.

Same-day attendance is usually available. We are about 22.5 km south-west of the city here, and Kirrawee is covered by the Sutherland Shire team.
Backing onto bush means constant pressure from outside. rats and mice are already established in the reserve, and the house is simply the next thing they reach.
Detached houses on larger blocks with bush on a boundary, so the fence line and perimeter matter as much as the interior.
Yes. We work in houses, units, strata blocks, rentals and commercial premises across Kirrawee 2232, and we provide the written report agents and strata managers ask for.
Yes. The products are registered for this use and applied at label rates, and placement keeps them away from where children and animals go. Let us know at booking about pets, fish tanks or anyone with asthma and we will plan the visit around it.
Usually not. Most rodent control work is done with you there, and anything that needs the room vacated is for a short period we will tell you about beforehand.
Most rodent control jobs in a Kirrawee 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. If activity continues past the expected period, call us and we will come back.
Yes - we work right across the Sutherland Shire area, which takes in Kirrawee and the suburbs around it.
