Rodent Control in Maroubra 2035 — local technicians, fixed prices and a written report. Rodent control starts from $89.
Real, verified feedback from people we've helped — straight from Google.
Local technicians, fixed prices and a written report for every job in Maroubra.
Our Eastern Suburbs technicians cover Maroubra and the rest of 2035 as a matter of course - it is only about 9.5 km south of the city. Our technicians are through Maroubra most days, so same-day attendance is usually available.
A lot of our Maroubra jobs are in the streets around Malabar Beach and Southpoint Shopping Centre, and we are out near Bonnie Doon Golf Course regularly enough that the technician usually knows the access before they arrive.
Waverley, Randwick and Woollahra is the council area for Maroubra, and we treat Hillsdale, Matraville and Eastgardens on the same schedule. The coastal damp is the part that matters: sub-floors and ground-floor wet areas rarely dry out properly.
The rodent calls we take from Maroubra are mostly apartments where the problem is really in the building rather than the flat. If yours is one of them, mention it when you ring 1300 313 373 - it changes what the technician brings.
We also work the streets near Coral Sea Park and across toward Malabar Headland National Park - the whole of 2035 is covered.
Bookings for 2035 are confirmed the day before with a set arrival time, not an all-day window. Jobs at Hillsdale and Matraville often share the same run, which is how earlier slots come up.
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.
Rodents stay where food is reliable. On a Maroubra property that is usually the compost, the fruit tree or the pet bowl rather than anything inside the house.
Insurance claims from rodent-damaged wiring are common and often disputed. Treating early is cheaper than arguing later.
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 →
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.
A pencil-width gap is all it needs, and it rarely moves far from the kitchen, pantry or the cavity alongside them. 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 | Larger, capsule-shaped pellets, often found in groups along a run | Small rice-grain droppings scattered widely, including inside 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 |
| Gap size needed | Roughly 12 mm upwards, and gnawing will widen anything less | Roughly 6 mm, about the width of a pencil |
| 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 |
| Behaviour | Wary of new objects, so they take longer to visit a station | Curious, and investigate new objects quickly but feed in tiny amounts |
| Grease and rub marks | Dark marks where they rub along beams, rafters and entry holes | Faint marks, not often seen |

NSW Health lists leptospirosis, lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, rat bite fever and gastro infections such as salmonellosis among diseases linked to rodents.
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.
Lockable, tamper-resistant stations go on the runways we find, secured and out of reach, with trap placement where baiting isn't suitable.
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 | 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 | 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 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 | Non-toxic monitoring stations read for gnaw marks and droppings | Strata, commercial sites and homes close to bushland or water | Best run as a continuing 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.
The rats are usually in the bin room or basement car park, the mice in the risers. That is why a single-unit treatment seldom works and a strata program on common property does.
Under Standard 3.2.2 of the Food Standards Code a food business must take all practicable measures to exclude pests. Restaurant programs trap in food areas, use numbered stations elsewhere, and come with 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 ducting and ceiling joists show the runways rodents use, and that's where stations go.
Shredded insulation and nesting material under the floor is typical of ground-level rat activity.
Each station is fixed in place so nothing - rodent, pet or child - can drag the bait out of it.
We check what has been taken from each station, which shows the population declining and signals when to reduce the program.
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 Maroubra property looking at exactly that.
Scratching overhead after dark usually means a nest rather than a visitor. In a Maroubra roof the nest is normally in the insulation near a warm spot, and that is where the job is - not the whole cavity.
The maths is the argument for acting early. Treating two mice costs a fraction of treating the thirty they become.
Identification precedes any bait. Rats, mice and protected native rats each need a different answer.

Same-day attendance is usually available. Maroubra sits roughly 9.5 km south of the CBD, inside our Eastern Suburbs run, so we book a time and keep to it.
The air never really dries out near the water, so sub-floors and lower rooms hold moisture through the year. rats and mice need that damp more than they need food, and here they always have it.
Units close to the water, houses further back, and sub-floors that hold moisture in both.
We do all of those. A good share of the Maroubra jobs we run are tenanted or strata properties, so the written record comes as standard.
It is, provided the instructions are followed. We will tell you what to keep clear of and for how long before we leave. Let us know about children, pets or fish tanks when you book.
Normally you can stay. Some treatments mean keeping out of a particular room briefly, and we will flag that when we arrive so you can plan around it.
Usually between one and two hours on site. Bigger properties and heavier infestations take more, and that is included in the quote rather than added afterwards.
Every general treatment carries a 6-month warranty. A return visit inside that period does not cost you anything.
We do. Maroubra and Hillsdale, Matraville, Eastgardens and Malabar are all on the same route, which helps if you own more than one property in the area.
