What we cover in Pagewood, and how quickly we can get there.
Pagewood is part of the Eastern Suburbs, 8 km or so south of the GPO, and 2035 is a postcode we know well. Our technicians are through Pagewood most days, so same-day attendance is usually available.
Around Pagewood we work the pockets near Dalley Avenue Reserve, Westfield Eastgardens and Bonnie Doon Golf Course most often, so the van is rarely far away when a job comes in.
The suburb sits in the Waverley, Randwick and Woollahra area. Eastgardens, Botany and Hillsdale are all covered on the same day, so a problem that has spread across a boundary can be handled in one visit. Salt air and sandy ground keep sub-floors damp here, and damp is what sustains a population.
What we see in Pagewood is apartments where the problem is really in the building rather than the flat. Describing it accurately when you book saves a second visit.
Every part of 2035 is covered as standard.
You get a confirmed time, not a window. We plan the 2035 run the day before, and if Eastgardens or Botany 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 Pagewood the usual ways in are weep holes, the gap under a roller door, and the hole a plumber cut and never sealed.
Noise helps too. Mice scurry light and fast in wall cavities; rats are heavier and tend to run along ceiling joists. In Pagewood roofs we hear both.
Rodents stay where food is reliable. On a Pagewood 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.
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 →
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.
Small enough for a six-millimetre gap, and it stays near food - kitchen, pantry, and 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 | Capsule-shaped and noticeably larger, often in groups where they travel | Rice-grain sized and scattered everywhere, drawers and cupboards included |
| Noise | A heavier thump or drag overhead, generally once it is dark | Quick light scratching and scurrying inside walls and ceilings |
| Where you see evidence | Roof void, eaves, under the floor, in garden beds and beneath decks | The kitchen and pantry, behind white goods, and in the lowest drawers |
| Entry gap | About 12 mm or more, enlarged by gnawing where it is tighter | About 6 mm - a pencil's width |
| Damage | Gnawed cabling, downpipes and irrigation, and fruit taken from the garden | Packets chewed, food nibbled, and paper shredded to make nests |
| Attitude to new things | Wary, so stations are not visited straight away | Curious, so stations get investigated fast - but each feed is tiny |
| Grease marks | Dark smears where they rub past beams, rafters and entry points | Light marks, usually missed |

Among the diseases NSW Health links to rodents are leptospirosis, lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, rat bite fever and gastro infections including salmonellosis.
Rodents gnaw constantly to wear down their teeth. Cabling, gas and water lines in roof voids are common casualties.
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.
We match the program to the species, the building and the people in it - children, pets, food handling - and that settles baiting, trapping, proofing or a blend.
We place lockable, tamper-resistant stations along the runways, fixed down and out of reach, using traps wherever baiting is not the right call.
The gaps, vents and service penetrations in use are pointed out, and we either quote to seal them or tell you how to.
Return visits check feeding, top up bait and record activity, and the program winds down when the feeding does.
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 | Rodent-resistant sealing of gaps, vents, weep holes and pipe penetrations | Every property, once the active population is controlled | Won't clear rodents already inside, so it is done 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.
In a block the rats live in the bin room and car park while mice move through the risers. Treating your apartment alone rarely ends it; a strata program covering common property will.
The Food Standards Code, Standard 3.2.2, requires all practicable measures to keep pests out of a food business. Restaurant programs mean trapping in food areas, numbered stations elsewhere, and a site plan for the inspector.
Loading docks, pallet racking and ceiling spaces give rodents plenty of cover. Warehouse and office programs use perimeter stations and scheduled monitoring with 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.
We check what has been taken from each station, which shows the population declining and signals when to reduce the program.
Flattened or tunnelled insulation in a Pagewood ceiling is nesting, not storm damage. It is also where droppings and urine accumulate, which is the contamination issue.
Rats are neophobic: anything new in their environment is avoided for days before it is investigated. That is why a baiting program in a Pagewood roof void is not judged on the first visit, and why moving stations around resets the clock.
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.
Only tamper-resistant stations, secured in position and kept away from children, pets and wildlife.

Same-day attendance is usually available. Pagewood sits roughly 8 km south of the CBD, inside our Eastern Suburbs run, so we book a time and keep to it.
Sandy ground drains fast but the humidity stays, which means the conditions under a house here suit rats and mice in winter nearly as well as in summer.
Units near the water and houses set back from it, with damp sub-floors the common factor in both.
Yes. We work in houses, units, strata blocks, rentals and commercial premises across Pagewood 2035, 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 of the work is done with you in the house, and where a room does need to be clear it is for a short period we will tell you about on arrival.
Most rodent control jobs in a Pagewood home take between one and two hours on site, depending on the size of the property and how much of it is affected.
