Rodent Control in Narrabeen 2101 — local technicians, fixed prices and a written report. Rodent control starts from $89.
Real, verified feedback from people we've helped — straight from Google.
Where Narrabeen sits, who covers it and what it costs.
We treat rats and mice right across 2101. Narrabeen is roughly 18 km north-east of the city, which puts it well inside the Northern Beaches run our technicians work. We run Narrabeen on a regular route, and same-day attendance is usually available.
Most weeks we are somewhere between Long Reef Golf Course and Edgar Gornall Wildflower Garden in Narrabeen, and Toronto Avenue Reserve is close enough to be on the same run.
Northern Beaches is the council area for Narrabeen, and we treat Collaroy Plateau, Collaroy and Wheeler Heights on the same schedule. Being this close to the coast, sub-floors and ground-floor bathrooms stay damp most of the year, which is the condition that keeps activity going.
Narrabeen jobs tend to be apartments where the problem is really in the building rather than the flat. Let us know which when you ring and we will plan the visit around it.
We cover the remainder of 2101 as well, from Narrabeen Beach through to Augusta Shopping Centre.
When you book, we confirm the 2101 run the day before and give you an arrival time rather than a window. If we are already out at Collaroy Plateau or Collaroy that morning, we will usually offer you the earlier slot.
Rodents gnaw constantly to keep their incisors down, and in a Narrabeen 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 Narrabeen roof removes the bridge entirely.
Rodent numbers do not creep up, they compound. Two in a Narrabeen ceiling in autumn is a very different proposition by the end of winter.
Three introduced rodents cause almost every rodent job in Sydney. A fourth, the native bush rat, needs to be recognised and left alone.
Light-framed and built for climbing, with big thin ears and a tail longer than its body. You find it high up: in the roof void, the wall cavity, palms and dense trees. Rat control →
Thickset with a blunt muzzle and short tail. It digs rather than climbs, so look in the subfloor, the drain lines, the compost and under slabs.
A pencil-width gap is all it needs, and it rarely moves far from the kitchen, pantry or the cavity alongside 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 | Louder thumping or dragging overhead after dark | Rapid, light scratching and scurrying within walls and ceilings |
| Where you find signs | Roof void, eaves, subfloor, garden beds, under decks | Kitchen, pantry, behind the fridge and stove, bottom drawers |
| Gap they need | About 12 mm and up - and they will gnaw a small one wider | About 6 mm, which is roughly a pencil's width |
| 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 marks | Dark smears where they rub past beams, rafters and entry points | Light marks, usually missed |
Still not sure? Our guide to rats vs mice in the roof has more detail, or book an inspection and we will confirm it on site.
A licensed Sydney technician will talk it through and give you a fixed quote within half an hour.
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.
Where urine and droppings have reached benches or packaging, the food has to go and the surfaces need disinfecting.
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.
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.
Tamper-resistant lockable stations are fixed on the runways we located, out of reach, and traps go where baiting is not appropriate.
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.
Stations are checked and topped up, activity is recorded and the program is scaled back once feeding stops.
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 | Blocks of rodenticide locked inside tamper-resistant stations placed on live runways | Roof voids, subfloors and outside perimeters where activity is established | A poor choice where a carcass in a wall cavity would create an odour problem |
| 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 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 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.
Where terraces share a roof void or wall cavity with the house next door - common through the Inner West and Eastern Suburbs - rodents travel between them freely. We concentrate on the roof void, the subfloor and the service penetrations.
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.

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.
Each station is fixed in place so nothing - rodent, pet or child - can drag the bait out of it.
Checking feeding at each station tells us when the population is falling and when to scale back.
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.
A mouse gets through a gap the width of a pencil and a rat through one about the width of your thumb. Around Narrabeen the usual ways in are weep holes, the gap under a roller door, and the hole a plumber cut and never sealed.
Rodents stay where food is reliable. On a Narrabeen property that is usually the compost, the fruit tree or the pet bowl rather than anything inside the house.
Nothing is baited until we know what it is. Rats, mice and protected natives are not treated the same way.
Tamper-resistant stations, fixed in place, away from children, pets and wildlife.

Same-day attendance is usually available. Narrabeen is about 18 km north-east of the CBD in the Northern Beaches, and we give you a firm arrival time rather than an all-day window.
Coastal suburbs hold moisture. Sandy soil drains but the air does not dry out, so the conditions under a Narrabeen house suit rats and mice nearly all year.
Walk-up blocks and free-standing houses, with moisture the common factor. The sub-floor gets as much attention as the kitchen.
We do. A lot of our Narrabeen work is rentals and strata, so the report, the products used and the areas treated are all recorded in writing for whoever needs them.
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.
You do not normally need to leave. Anything requiring an empty room is short, and you will know about it before the work starts.
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.
All of them. Narrabeen sits alongside Collaroy Plateau, Collaroy, Wheeler Heights and Cromer in our coverage, and they are serviced on the same schedule.
