Real, verified feedback from people we've helped — straight from Google.
Local technicians, fixed prices and a written report for every job in Lane Cove North.
Lane Cove North is part of the Lower North Shore, 8 km or so north-west of the GPO, and 2066 is a postcode we know well. Our technicians are through Lane Cove North most days, so same-day attendance is usually available.
A lot of our Lane Cove North jobs are in the streets around Lane Cove Aquatic Leisure Centre and Batten Reserve, and we are out near The Village Shopping Centre regularly enough that the technician usually knows the access before they arrive.
This is the North Sydney, Mosman, Willoughby, Lane Cove and Hunters Hill area, and our runs here also take in Lane Cove, Chatswood West and Lane Cove West. Period homes near the harbour tend to have sub-floors, original timber and gardens running down to the boundary, so the inspection covers well beyond the kitchen.
The bulk of our Lane Cove North work is period houses and converted blocks where the lower level is the problem. Mention the detail when you call 1300 313 373 - it decides how long we need on site.
We cover the remainder of 2066 as well, from Chatswood Golf Club through to St Peter's Green.
You get a confirmed time, not a window. We plan the 2066 run the day before, and if Lane Cove or Chatswood West is on the same round there is often an earlier slot going.
Rodents gnaw constantly to keep their incisors down, and in a Lane Cove North 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.
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.
The maths is the argument for acting early. Treating two mice costs a fraction of treating the thirty they become.
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 solid, blunt-nosed rat with a tail shorter than its body, and a burrower rather than a climber. Subfloors, drains, compost bays and the space under a slab.
A pencil-width gap is all it takes. Mice stay near food, which means kitchens, pantries and the wall cavities alongside them. 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 | Sizeable capsule-shaped pellets, typically grouped along a runway | Small rice-like droppings spread widely, including 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 |
| Size of entry gap | Roughly 12 mm or more, and gnawing enlarges anything smaller | Roughly 6 mm - about as wide as a pencil |
| Damage | Gnawed cabling, downpipes and irrigation, and fruit taken from the garden | Packets chewed, food nibbled, and paper shredded to make nests |
| Behaviour | Wary of new objects, so they take longer to visit a station | Curious, and investigate new objects quickly but feed in tiny amounts |
| Smear marks | Dark rubbing on beams, rafters and the edges of entry holes | Light marks that are seldom noticed |

Among the diseases NSW Health links to rodents are leptospirosis, lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, rat bite fever and gastro infections including salmonellosis.
Constant gnawing is how a rodent keeps its teeth in check. In a roof void that means cabling, gas and water lines take the damage.
Once there is urine and droppings on the bench and the packaging, the food goes out and the surfaces get 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 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.
Based on the species, the building and who lives there (children, pets, food handling), we recommend baiting, trapping, proofing or a combination.
Stations are lockable and tamper-resistant, secured on the runways and out of reach. Where baiting does not suit, we trap instead.
Every gap, vent and service penetration in use gets pointed out, and you can have us seal them or take the list and do it yourself.
Follow-up visits read and refill the stations and record activity, and the program winds down when feeding ceases.
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 | Secured rodenticide blocks in tamper-resistant stations, sited on active runs | Roof spaces, subfloors and external perimeters with ongoing activity | Not suitable if a carcass in a cavity would lead to odour complaints |
| Trapping | Snap traps or enclosed traps placed along walls and runways and checked on schedule | Kitchens and pantries, food premises, and small indoor numbers | Only works if placement is right and the traps are checked regularly |
| 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 blocks or stations examined for gnaw damage and droppings | Businesses and strata, plus homes near reserves and waterways | Best value as an ongoing 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.
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.
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 used as nesting material in the subfloor is typical ground-level rat work.
We fix every station down. That stops bait being dragged out by a rodent, a pet or a curious child.
Feeding levels at the stations are the measure - they tell us the population is falling and when to scale back.
If nothing has been taken from a station after a few days in a Lane Cove North job, that is normal for rats rather than a failed treatment. We leave stations in place precisely because moving them starts the wariness again.
Flattened or tunnelled insulation in a Lane Cove North ceiling is nesting, not storm damage. It is also where droppings and urine accumulate, which is the contamination issue.
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 Lane Cove North wall is a genuine entry point rather than a detail.
We confirm the species on site first. Putting bait down before knowing whether it is a protected native is not acceptable.
Stations are tamper-resistant and fixed down, sited clear of children, pets and wildlife.

Same-day attendance is usually available. Lane Cove North is about 8 km north-west of the CBD in the Lower North Shore, and we give you a firm arrival time rather than an all-day window.
The combination here is age and moisture. Older houses near the harbour rarely have sub-floor ventilation that still works, and rats and mice settle in what that leaves behind.
Large older homes and converted apartments, with damp lower levels the recurring theme.
Yes. Houses, townhouses, units, strata common property, rentals and commercial sites in Lane Cove North 2066 are all part of what we do, and the paperwork is the kind agents accept.
