Real, verified feedback from people we've helped — straight from Google.
Local technicians, fixed prices and a written report for every job in Kirribilli.
Our Lower North Shore technicians cover Kirribilli and the rest of 2061 as a matter of course - it is only about 2.3 km north of the city. Our technicians are through Kirribilli most days, so same-day attendance is usually available.
A lot of our Kirribilli jobs are in the streets around Greenwood Plaza and Milsons Point station, and we are out near North Sydney station regularly enough that the technician usually knows the access before they arrive.
We work under the North Sydney, Mosman, Willoughby, Lane Cove and Hunters Hill area here, and Milsons Point, Kurraba Point and Lavender Bay are all on the same route, which matters when rodent problems are moving between adjoining properties. The mix here is older houses and converted blocks near the water, where moisture under the floor is usually part of the story.
Around Kirribilli the pattern is fairly consistent: waterfront and near-waterfront homes with damp sub-floors and mature gardens. Tell us which it is on the phone and we will come prepared for it.
We cover the remainder of 2061 as well, from Wrixton Park through to Art Barton Park.
The 2061 run is set the day before and you are given an arrival time. Where Milsons Point and Kurraba Point fall on the same round, we can usually bring the visit forward.
Water pipes, downpipes, flexible gas lines and conduit all get gnawed. A small rodent problem in a Kirribilli ceiling can become an expensive one through damage rather than numbers.
The maths is the argument for acting early. Treating two mice costs a fraction of treating the thirty they become.
A rodent problem is a food problem. Around Kirribilli 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 →
The heavier of the two, with a blunt nose and a tail shorter than its body. It burrows at ground level - under the floor, in drains, compost bays and beneath slabs.
Tiny, and able to pass a gap the width of a pencil. It lives close to its food in kitchens, pantries and the cavities behind them. Mice control →
A protected native species found close to bushland. Nothing is treated until we have confirmed this is not what we are looking at.
Most people never get a clear look. These are the clues our technicians use instead.
| Clue | Rats | Mice |
|---|---|---|
| Droppings | Sizeable capsule-shaped pellets, typically grouped along a runway | Small rice-like droppings spread widely, including in drawers and cupboards |
| Noise | Heavier thumping or dragging in the roof, usually after dark | Light, fast scratching and scurrying in walls and ceilings |
| Where the signs are | The roof void and eaves, the subfloor, garden beds and under decking | Kitchen and pantry, behind the fridge and stove, and in 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 gets damaged | Cabling, downpipes and irrigation gnawed through, plus fruit in the garden | Packets chewed open, food nibbled, and paper shredded for nesting |
| How they behave | Suspicious of anything new, so a station takes time to get visits | Inquisitive - they check a new object quickly, but only feed a little at a time |
| Rub marks | Dark greasy marks along beams, rafters and around entry holes | Very faint, and usually missed |

Leptospirosis, lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, rat bite fever and gastro infections such as salmonellosis all appear on the NSW Health list of rodent-linked diseases.
Rodents have to gnaw to wear their teeth down, and roof-void cabling, gas lines and water pipes are the usual casualties.
Contamination is not negotiable: urine and droppings on surfaces and packaging mean the food is thrown out and the area 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.
We check the roof void, subfloor, kitchen and perimeter for droppings, rub marks, nests and runways, and confirm whether it's rats, mice or both.
We match the program to the species, the building and the people in it - children, pets, food handling - and that settles baiting, trapping, proofing or a blend.
Stations are lockable and tamper-resistant, fixed on the runways we identified and kept out of reach, with traps used wherever 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.
Return visits check feeding, top up bait and record activity, and the program winds down when the feeding does.
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 | Traps - snap or enclosed - positioned along walls and runways, checked routinely | Indoor areas with small populations: kitchens, pantries, food premises | Placement has to be right and the schedule has to be kept |
| Proofing | Sealing gaps, vents, weep holes and pipe penetrations with rodent-resistant materials | Every property, once active rodents are under control | Doesn't remove rodents already inside, so it follows 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.
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.
In a block the rats live in the bin room and car park while mice move through the risers. Treating your apartment alone rarely ends it; a strata program covering common property will.
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.
Between the loading dock, the pallet racking and the ceiling space there is no shortage of harbourage. Warehouse and office programs use perimeter stations and scheduled monitoring with reporting.

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.
Stations are secured in position so bait can't be dragged out by rodents, pets or curious children.
Reading the feeding at each station is how we know the population is dropping and when to wind the program back.
People seal the obvious holes and miss the ones that matter. Six millimetres is enough for a mouse; twelve for a rat, and it will gnaw a smaller one open. We walk the outside of a Kirribilli property looking at exactly that.
Roof rats travel along branches and power lines and enter at the eaves. Cutting back the branch touching a Kirribilli roof removes the bridge entirely.
Noise helps too. Mice scurry light and fast in wall cavities; rats are heavier and tend to run along ceiling joists. In Kirribilli roofs we hear both.
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. Kirribilli is about 2.3 km north of the CBD in the Lower North Shore, and we give you a firm arrival time rather than an all-day window.
Period homes close to the water tend to have original timber, sub-floors and heavy planting around them - three things that keep rats and mice supplied.
Period stock on sloping blocks. The lower level and the sub-floor do most of the explaining.
Yes. Houses, townhouses, units, strata common property, rentals and commercial sites in Kirribilli 2061 are all part of what we do, and the paperwork is the kind agents accept.
Yes, applied correctly. Products are registered for this use, placed out of reach rather than across open surfaces, and you will know what to stay off and for how long.
In most cases you can stay. Where an area does need to be left clear it is for a couple of hours at most, and we say so before we start.
Between one and two hours covers the majority of jobs. We do not book so tightly that a technician has to cut a job short.
Every general treatment carries a 6-month warranty. A return visit within the warranty period costs you nothing.
Yes - we work right across the North Sydney, Mosman, Willoughby, Lane Cove and Hunters Hill area, which takes in Kirribilli and the suburbs around it.
