What we cover in North Strathfield, and how quickly we can get there.
Postcode 2137 covers North Strathfield and the streets immediately around it. At about 11.2 km west of the CBD it falls in the Inner West, where we have vans out daily. We run North Strathfield on a regular route, and same-day attendance is usually available.
A lot of our North Strathfield jobs are in the streets around Ismay Reserve and Strathfield Plaza, and we are out near Concord Golf Club regularly enough that the technician usually knows the access before they arrive.
Inner West, Burwood, Strathfield and Canada Bay is the council area for North Strathfield, and we treat Homebush, Homebush West and Concord West on the same schedule. The building stock is close-packed, so we look at what the property adjoins before deciding where product goes.
Around North Strathfield the pattern is fairly consistent: older semis with a paved rear courtyard and a sub-floor that no longer dries out. Tell us which it is on the phone and we will come prepared for it.
North Strathfield station and the remainder of 2137 are on the same run.
You get a confirmed time, not a window. We plan the 2137 run the day before, and if Homebush or Homebush West is on the same round there is often an earlier slot going.
A mouse gets through a gap the width of a pencil and a rat through one about the width of your thumb. Around North Strathfield 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 North Strathfield property that is usually the compost, the fruit tree or the pet bowl rather than anything inside the house.
Scratching overhead after dark usually means a nest rather than a visitor. In a North Strathfield roof the nest is normally in the insulation near a warm spot, and that is where the job is - not the whole cavity.
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 →
The heavier species: blunt snout, tail shorter than the body, and a burrowing habit that puts it in subfloors, drains, compost bays and beneath slabs.
Small enough for a six-millimetre gap, and it stays near food - kitchen, pantry, and the wall cavity behind. Mice control →
A protected native species found close to bushland. Nothing is treated until we have confirmed this is not what we are looking at.
Most people never get a clear look. These are the clues our technicians use instead.
| Clue | Rats | Mice |
|---|---|---|
| Droppings | Bigger capsule-shaped pellets, usually grouped along a runway | Tiny rice-grain pellets spread about, turning up 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 you find them | Roof space, eaves, subfloor, garden beds and beneath decks | Around the kitchen and pantry, behind white goods, in low drawers |
| Size of entry gap | Roughly 12 mm or more, and gnawing enlarges anything smaller | Roughly 6 mm - about as wide as a pencil |
| Typical damage | Cables, downpipes, irrigation and garden fruit all gnawed | Chewed-open packets, food nibbled at, shredded paper nesting material |
| Behaviour | Neophobic - they avoid anything new, so stations take time to be visited | Curious, investigating new objects fast but feeding only in small 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.

NSW Health lists leptospirosis, lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, rat bite fever and gastro infections such as salmonellosis among diseases linked to rodents.
Their teeth never stop growing, so they gnaw constantly - and cabling, gas lines and water pipes in the roof void are what they reach first.
Droppings and urine across benches and packaging mean discarding the food and disinfecting everything they touched.
Both breed repeatedly through the year, which is how a pair in autumn turns into a colony come spring.
From working out what's in the roof to confirming it's gone.
Roof void, subfloor, kitchen and perimeter are searched for droppings, rub marks, nests and runways, which also settles whether it is rats, mice or both.
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.
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.
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 get checked and replenished, activity is logged, and the program is reduced once there is no more feeding.
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 secured in tamper-resistant stations on live runways | Established activity in roof spaces, subfloors and around the perimeter | Not the right choice if odour from a carcass in a wall would be an issue |
| 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 | 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 monitoring blocks or stations checked for gnawing and droppings | Businesses, strata buildings and homes near reserves or waterways | Works best as an ongoing scheduled service |
Why baiting often outperforms DIY snap traps in roof voids: read our explainer.
Terraces in the Inner West and Eastern Suburbs often share roof voids and wall cavities with neighbours, so rodents move freely between homes. We focus on the roof void, subfloor and the gaps where services enter.
Rats often live in bin rooms and basement car parks, and mice travel through service risers. Treating one unit rarely fixes it. A strata program covering common property usually 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.
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.
Insulation shredded for nesting material under the floor is the signature of ground-level rats.
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.
A female mouse can produce a litter every three weeks, and those young breed at six weeks. A single pair in a North Strathfield roof in March is a serious population by June, which is why waiting rarely works out.
Rats are neophobic: anything new in their environment is avoided for days before it is investigated. That is why a baiting program in a North Strathfield roof void is not judged on the first visit, and why moving stations around resets the clock.
Water pipes, downpipes, flexible gas lines and conduit all get gnawed. A small rodent problem in a North Strathfield ceiling can become an expensive one through damage rather than numbers.
Nothing is baited until we know what it is. Rats, mice and protected natives are not treated the same way.
Tamper-resistant and locked, fixed where they sit, and never within reach of children, pets or wildlife.

Same-day attendance is usually available. We are about 11.2 km west of the city here, and North Strathfield is covered by the Inner West team.
Two things stack up here: shared structure and old drainage. Either one on its own is manageable; together they are why rats and mice in this kind of housing is a street-level problem.
Terraces and semis, often with a paved rear courtyard that traps damp against the wall - both of which shape the job.
Yes. We work in houses, units, strata blocks, rentals and commercial premises across North Strathfield 2137, and we provide the written report agents and strata managers ask for.
It is, applied properly. We put product into cracks, voids and stations rather than across open surfaces, and we will tell you what to stay off and for how long before we leave.
Generally no. We will tell you on arrival if any part of the job means keeping out of a room for a while, so there are no surprises.
Typically one to two hours on site. What extends it is size, access and how far the problem has gone, all of which are accounted for in the quote.
Every general treatment carries a 6-month warranty. Ring us if activity picks up again inside that period and we will arrange the return.
We do. North Strathfield and Homebush, Homebush West, Concord West and Concord are all on the same route, which helps if you own more than one property in the area.
