Rodent Control in Narraweena 2099 — 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 Narraweena.
If you are in Narraweena or anywhere else in 2099, you are in our Northern Beaches patch, 14.4 km north of the CBD. We run Narraweena on a regular route, and same-day attendance is usually available.
The Narraweena addresses we attend cluster around Dee Why Grand Shopping Centre and Parr Park. South Creek Reserve is another part of the suburb we are called to often.
This is the Northern Beaches area, and our runs here also take in Beacon Hill, Cromer and Dee Why. 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.
The rodent calls we take from Narraweena are mostly unit blocks a street or two back from the water, plus the odd beachfront cafe. If yours is one of them, mention it when you ring 1300 313 373 - it changes what the technician brings.
Every part of 2099 is covered as standard.
We confirm your slot the day before and arrive at a stated time. Beacon Hill and Cromer sit on the same run, so earlier appointments in 2099 come up regularly.
A mouse gets through a gap the width of a pencil and a rat through one about the width of your thumb. Around Narraweena the usual ways in are weep holes, the gap under a roller door, and the hole a plumber cut and never sealed.
Rats and mice need different station sizes, different bait and different placement. Droppings tell us straight away - mouse droppings are rice-grain sized, rat droppings are closer to a date stone. Getting it wrong on a Narraweena job wastes the first fortnight.
Rodents stay where food is reliable. On a Narraweena property that is usually the compost, the fruit tree or the pet bowl rather than anything inside the house.
Three introduced rodents cause almost every rodent job in Sydney. A fourth, the native bush rat, needs to be recognised and left alone.
A lightweight, agile rat with large thin ears and a long tail. Everything about it suits height - roof spaces, cavities, palm crowns and thick planting. 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 - a gap the width of a pencil is enough - and it rarely strays far from food in the kitchen, the pantry or the wall cavity behind. Mice control →
Native, and protected under NSW law. It lives near bushland reserves, so on those properties identification comes before any decision about treatment.
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 | Heavy movement - thumps and dragging - in the roof, usually at night | Light rapid scratching and scurrying in the walls and ceiling |
| Where signs appear | The roof void and eaves, the subfloor, garden beds, under decking | Kitchen and pantry, behind fridge and stove, in the 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 |
| Typical damage | Cables, downpipes, irrigation and garden fruit all gnawed | Chewed-open packets, food nibbled at, shredded paper nesting material |
| Behaviour | Cautious with unfamiliar objects, which slows the first visit to a station | Quick to investigate something new, though they feed in very small amounts |
| Grease marks | Noticeable dark rub marks on beams, rafters and at entry points | Faint enough that they are rarely spotted |

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.
Urine and droppings on benches and packaging mean food has to be thrown out and surfaces disinfected.
Several litters a year from both species means the two you saw in autumn have become a population 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.
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.
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.
Each visit checks and tops up the stations and records activity. When feeding stops, the program scales back.
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 | 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 every gap, vent, weep hole and pipe penetration with rodent-resistant materials | Every building, once activity has been brought down | Seals them out, not in - so treatment has to come first |
| 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.
Food Standards Code Standard 3.2.2 obliges food businesses to take all practicable measures against pests. Restaurant programs trap inside food areas, number the stations beyond them, and provide the site plan an inspector asks for.
Warehouses offer rodents cover at the dock, in the racking and above the ceiling. Our warehouse and office programs use perimeter stations on a monitoring schedule, with reports each visit.

Where droppings line the ducting and ceiling joists, that is the runway - and that is where the stations are placed.
Insulation shredded for nesting material under the floor is the signature of ground-level rats.
Stations are secured in position so bait can't be dragged out by rodents, pets or curious children.
Checking feeding at each station tells us when the population is falling and when to scale back.
Rodent numbers do not creep up, they compound. Two in a Narraweena ceiling in autumn is a very different proposition by the end of winter.
If nothing has been taken from a station after a few days in a Narraweena job, that is normal for rats rather than a failed treatment. We leave stations in place precisely because moving them starts the wariness again.
Rodents gnaw constantly to keep their incisors down, and in a Narraweena 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.
Identification precedes any bait. Rats, mice and protected native rats each need a different answer.

Get a Free QuoteRodent control starts from $89. We quote on the property rather than the postcode, so a unit in Narraweena 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. Narraweena is about 14.4 km north of the CBD in the Northern Beaches, and we give you a firm arrival time rather than an all-day window.
Being near the water means humidity that never really drops. Sub-floors stay moist, lower levels stay cool and damp, and rats and mice do well in both.
A mix of unit blocks and houses, most with a damp sub-floor or a ground level that sits low - and that is usually where we concentrate.
Yes - freestanding homes, townhouses, apartments, rentals and business premises in Narraweena 2099 are all covered, with documentation suitable for an agent or a strata manager.
Yes. Everything we use is registered for the purpose and applied at label rates, and we place product where people and animals do not go. Tell us about pets, aquariums or anyone with a respiratory condition at booking.
In the great majority of jobs, no. If one area needs to be left for an hour or two we say so before we start rather than after.
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. Ring us if activity picks up again inside that period and we will arrange the return.
Yes - we work right across the Northern Beaches area, which takes in Narraweena and the suburbs around it.
