What we cover in Lansdowne, and how quickly we can get there.
Lansdowne is part of the Canterbury-Bankstown, 21.9 km or so west of the GPO, and 2163 is a postcode we know well. We run Lansdowne on a regular route, and same-day attendance is usually available.
A lot of our Lansdowne jobs are in the streets around Woodville Shopping Centre and Bass Hill Plaza, and we are out near Villawood station regularly enough that the technician usually knows the access before they arrive.
This is the Canterbury-Bankstown area, and our runs here also take in Carramar, Lansvale and Georges Hall. Most of the housing here shares a wall, a roof void or a sub-floor with something else, so we check what adjoins the property rather than treating it in isolation.
Most Lansdowne bookings come in as apartments and converted blocks where the kitchen backs onto a service riser. Say which one applies when you call 1300 313 373 and the technician will have the right products on the van.
We cover the remainder of 2163 as well, from Carramar station through to Landsdowne Park.
Bookings for 2163 are confirmed the day before with a set arrival time, not an all-day window. Jobs at Carramar and Lansvale often share the same run, which is how earlier slots come up.
Insurance claims from rodent-damaged wiring are common and often disputed. Treating early is cheaper than arguing later.
A rodent problem is a food problem. Around Lansdowne 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.
A new object in a rat's territory gets ignored, sometimes for the best part of a week. Mice do the opposite and investigate immediately. The two behaviours need different expectations and different schedules.
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 →
Bigger and heavier, blunt in the face, tail shorter than the body. Everything it does is at ground level - burrows in the subfloor, the drains, the compost, under the slab.
It needs a gap no wider than a pencil to get in, and it lives close to its food source in kitchens, pantries and wall cavities. Mice control →
This one is native and protected under NSW law, and it turns up near bushland reserves. Correct identification precedes any treatment decision.
Most people never get a clear look. These are the clues our technicians use instead.
| Clue | Rats | Mice |
|---|---|---|
| Droppings | Capsule-shaped and noticeably larger, often in groups where they travel | Rice-grain sized and scattered everywhere, drawers and cupboards included |
| Noise | A heavy thump or drag in the roof, typically at night | Fast light scratching inside the wall and ceiling cavities |
| 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 |
| Size of entry gap | Roughly 12 mm or more, and gnawing enlarges anything smaller | Roughly 6 mm - about as wide as 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 around stations | Neophobic: they avoid new objects at first, delaying the first visit | Curious by nature, investigating quickly but taking only small amounts |
| Grease and rub marks | Dark marks where they rub along beams, rafters and entry holes | Faint marks, not often seen |

Leptospirosis, lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, rat bite fever and gastro infections such as salmonellosis all appear on the NSW Health list of rodent-linked diseases.
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.
Droppings and urine across benches and packaging mean discarding the food and disinfecting everything they touched.
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.
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.
Species, building type and occupants all feed into the recommendation, which may be baiting, trapping, proofing or a combination of them.
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.
You get shown every gap, vent and penetration they are using, with a quote to seal them - or instructions if you would rather do it yourself.
We come back to read and refill the stations, log the activity, and scale 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 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 | 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 | Gaps, vents, weep holes and service penetrations sealed with rodent-resistant material | All properties, after active rodents are under control | Does nothing about rodents already indoors - it follows the treatment |
| Monitoring | Non-toxic blocks or stations, checked each visit for gnawing and droppings | Businesses, strata buildings and homes near reserves or waterways | Really only works as an ongoing scheduled 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.
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.
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.

Ducting and ceiling joists with droppings along them mark the routes in use, and the stations follow those routes.
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.
Reading the feeding at each station is how we know the population is dropping and when to wind the program back.
A female mouse can produce a litter every three weeks, and those young breed at six weeks. A single pair in a Lansdowne roof in March is a serious population by June, which is why waiting rarely works out.
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.
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 Lansdowne property looking at exactly that.
Rats, mice or a protected native? We confirm it on site before any bait goes down.
Tamper-resistant and locked, fixed where they sit, and never within reach of children, pets or wildlife.

Get a Free QuoteRodent control starts from $89. We quote on the property rather than the postcode, so a unit in Lansdowne and a large house are priced differently. The figure is fixed before any work starts. Every general treatment carries a 6-month warranty.
Same-day attendance is usually available. Our Canterbury-Bankstown technicians cover Lansdowne daily, and you get a confirmed arrival time when you book.
Older inner suburbs combine shared structure with ageing drainage, and rats and mice exploit both. Rear courtyards that have been paved over make it worse by trapping damp against the walls.
Older joined housing. The treatment takes account of shared walls, continuous sub-floors and roof voids that run between properties.
Yes. We work in houses, units, strata blocks, rentals and commercial premises across Lansdowne 2163, and we provide the written report agents and strata managers ask for.
Yes, when it is applied properly. We use registered products at label rates and tell you which areas to keep clear and for how long. Mention pets, fish tanks or allergies when you book.
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.
Allow an hour to two hours for most properties. A bigger building, or one where the problem has spread, takes longer - and we would rather tell you that when quoting than rush it.
Every general treatment carries a 6-month warranty. A return visit within the warranty period costs you nothing.
Yes. As well as Lansdowne we cover Carramar, Lansvale, Georges Hall and Villawood on the same runs, so a job that crosses a boundary can be handled in one visit.
