Rodent Control in Picnic Point 2213 — 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 Picnic Point.
Postcode 2213 covers Picnic Point and the streets immediately around it. At about 21.8 km south-west of the CBD it falls in the Canterbury-Bankstown, where we have vans out daily. We run Picnic Point on a regular route, and same-day attendance is usually available.
If you are near Revesby station, Phillip Park or Bruce Park, that is ground we cover constantly - it is the busiest part of Picnic Point for us.
We work under the Canterbury-Bankstown area here, and Revesby Heights, Panania and East Hills are all on the same route, which matters when rodent problems are moving between adjoining properties. Terraces, semis and converted blocks share cavities and risers, which is why a single-unit treatment often does not hold on its own.
Most Picnic Point bookings come in as apartments and converted blocks where the kitchen backs onto a service riser. Say which one applies when you call 1300 313 373 and the technician will have the right products on the van.
We cover the remainder of 2213 as well, from Georges River National Park through to Revesby Village Centre.
The 2213 run is set the day before and you are given an arrival time. Where Revesby Heights and Panania fall on the same round, we can usually bring the visit forward.
Rodent numbers do not creep up, they compound. Two in a Picnic Point ceiling in autumn is a very different proposition by the end of winter.
A new object in a rat's territory gets ignored, sometimes for the best part of a week. Mice do the opposite and investigate immediately. The two behaviours need different expectations and different schedules.
Flattened or tunnelled insulation in a Picnic Point ceiling is nesting, not storm damage. It is also where droppings and urine accumulate, which is the contamination issue.
Three introduced rodents cause almost every rodent job in Sydney. A fourth, the native bush rat, needs to be recognised and left alone.
A slim climber with a tail longer than its body and large thin ears. Lives up high: roof voids, wall cavities, palms and dense trees. 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.
Small enough to use gaps around the width of a pencil. Stays close to food in kitchens, pantries and wall cavities. Mice control →
A native species living near bushland reserves, and protected in NSW. Identification has to come first, 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 | Thumping and dragging sounds in the roof space, mostly after dark | Fast, light scratching and scurrying through wall and ceiling cavities |
| Location of signs | Up in the roof and eaves, down in the subfloor, plus garden beds and decks | Kitchen, pantry, the gap behind the fridge and stove, 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 | 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 | Noticeable dark rub marks on beams, rafters and at entry points | Faint enough that they are rarely spotted |
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.
NSW Health associates rodents with leptospirosis, lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, rat bite fever and gastro illnesses such as salmonellosis.
Rodents have to gnaw to wear their teeth down, and roof-void cabling, gas lines and water pipes are the usual casualties.
Droppings and urine across benches and packaging mean discarding the food and disinfecting everything they touched.
Rats and mice both breed several times a year. A pair you notice in autumn is a colony by spring.
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.
Based on the species, the building and who lives there (children, pets, food handling), we recommend baiting, trapping, proofing or a combination.
Lockable, tamper-resistant stations go on the runways we find, secured and out of reach, with trap placement where baiting isn't suitable.
The gaps, vents and service penetrations in use are pointed out, and we either quote to seal them or tell you how to.
We return to check and refill the stations, record what activity there is, and wind 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 | Snap or enclosed traps along wall lines and runways, serviced on schedule | Kitchens, pantries, food premises and small indoor populations | Depends on correct placement and being checked regularly |
| 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 blocks or stations, inspected for gnaw marks and droppings | Commercial sites, strata buildings and homes backing onto reserves or water | Most useful run as a scheduled ongoing 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.
Bin rooms and basement car parks house the rats; mice use the service risers. One unit treated alone rarely resolves it - a strata program across 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 voids all shelter rodents, so warehouse and office programs rely on perimeter stations and scheduled, reported monitoring.

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.
Reading the feeding at each station is how we know the population is dropping and when to wind the program 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 rodent problem is a food problem. Around Picnic Point the usual sources are a bird feeder, fallen fruit, an open compost bay, pet food left out overnight and a bin with no lid - and no amount of baiting outruns a reliable food supply.
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 Picnic Point property looking at exactly that.
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.

At roughly 21.8 km south-west of the city, Picnic Point is on a route we run regularly. Same-day attendance is usually available. You will be given a time, not a window.
Terraces and semis share walls, roof voids and sub-floors, so rats and mice move between houses without ever going outside. That is the single biggest factor here.
Mostly terrace and semi. We look at the party wall, the sub-floor and the roof space, because those are the routes between houses.
Yes. Houses, townhouses, units, strata common property, rentals and commercial sites in Picnic Point 2213 are all part of what we do, and the paperwork is the kind agents accept.
Yes, with the usual care. Everything is APVMA-registered and used to label, and we will work around pets, aquariums and anyone in the house with a respiratory condition if you tell us 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.
Allow one to two hours for a typical Picnic Point property. Larger homes, or ones where the problem has spread, take longer and we will say so when we quote.
Every general treatment carries a 6-month warranty. So if they turn up again within the warranty, ring us and we will attend.
We cover the whole of Picnic Point, from the streets around Revesby Village Centre out to the suburb boundary and on into Revesby Heights.
