Where Raby sits, who covers it and what it costs.
Postcode 2566 covers Raby and the streets immediately around it. At about 39.9 km south-west of the CBD it falls in the Macarthur, where we have vans out daily. We cover Raby on scheduled runs through the Macarthur, and we will give you a firm time rather than a window.
If you are near Eagle Vale Marketplace, Minto station or Jack Donohoe Park, that is ground we cover constantly - it is the busiest part of Raby for us.
The suburb sits in the Campbelltown and Camden area. Kearns, Eschol Park and St Andrews are all covered on the same day, so a problem that has spread across a boundary can be handled in one visit. On a newer estate the houses are near-identical and tightly spaced, which means a problem in one tends to turn up in the ones either side.
Around Raby the pattern is fairly consistent: newer homes on small blocks where next door has the same problem. Tell us which it is on the phone and we will come prepared for it.
We cover the remainder of 2566 as well, from Spitfire Park through to Macarthur Grange Country Club.
Bookings for 2566 are confirmed the day before with a set arrival time, not an all-day window. Jobs at Kearns and Eschol Park often share the same run, which is how earlier slots come up.
If nothing has been taken from a station after a few days in a Raby job, that is normal for rats rather than a failed treatment. We leave stations in place precisely because moving them starts the wariness again.
A mouse gets through a gap the width of a pencil and a rat through one about the width of your thumb. Around Raby the usual ways in are weep holes, the gap under a roller door, and the hole a plumber cut and never sealed.
Roof rats travel along branches and power lines and enter at the eaves. Cutting back the branch touching a Raby roof removes the bridge entirely.
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 rat whose tail is longer than its body, with large thin ears. It stays high - roof spaces, wall cavities, palms and heavy planting. 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.
It needs a gap no wider than a pencil to get in, and it lives close to its food source in kitchens, pantries and wall cavities. 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 | Sizeable capsule-shaped pellets, typically grouped along a runway | Small rice-like droppings spread widely, including in drawers and cupboards |
| Noise | Heavier thumps and dragging overhead, nearly always after dark | Light, quick scratching and scurrying through walls and ceilings |
| Where it shows up | Roof void and eaves, subfloor, garden beds, underneath decking | Kitchen and pantry areas, 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 | Cabling, downpipes and irrigation gnawed, and fruit taken in the garden | Packets chewed open, food nibbled, paper shredded for nesting |
| 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 |
| Smear marks | Dark rubbing on beams, rafters and the edges of entry holes | Light marks that are seldom noticed |

The NSW Health list of rodent-associated diseases includes leptospirosis, lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, rat bite fever and gastro infections like salmonellosis.
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.
Contamination is not negotiable: urine and droppings on surfaces and packaging mean the food is thrown out and the area 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.
First the evidence: droppings, rub marks, nests and runways through the roof void, subfloor, kitchen and perimeter, which tells us if 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, secured on the runways and out of reach. Where baiting does not suit, we trap instead.
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.
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 | Rodenticide held in tamper-resistant stations, fixed on the runways in use | Established activity in roof voids, subfloors and around the outside | Avoid where a dead rodent inside a cavity would cause odour |
| 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 | Closing off gaps, vents, weep holes and pipe penetrations using rodent-resistant materials | Any property, once the active rodents have been brought under control | It will not remove what is already inside, so it comes after treatment |
| Monitoring | Non-toxic monitoring blocks checked each visit for gnawing and droppings | Businesses, strata properties, and homes near bushland or waterways | Designed as an ongoing scheduled service rather than a one-off |
Why baiting often outperforms DIY snap traps in roof voids: read our explainer.
A terrace usually shares structure with its neighbours, so rodents are rarely confined to one house. We target the roof void, the subfloor and the points where services penetrate.
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.
Standard 3.2.2 of the Food Standards Code requires food businesses to take all practicable measures to keep pests out. Restaurant programs use trapping in food areas, numbered stations elsewhere and a site plan for inspectors.
Between the loading dock, the pallet racking and the ceiling space there is no shortage of harbourage. Warehouse and office programs use perimeter stations and scheduled monitoring with reporting.

The droppings trace the runway along ducting and joists, and stations go on the runway rather than anywhere convenient.
Nesting material and torn-up insulation under the floor is what ground-dwelling rats leave behind.
We fix every station down. That stops bait being dragged out by a rodent, a pet or a curious child.
The feeding rate at each station tells us whether numbers are falling and when scaling back is appropriate.
Insurance claims from rodent-damaged wiring are common and often disputed. Treating early is cheaper than arguing later.
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 Raby job wastes the first fortnight.
Before placing a single station we look at what is feeding them: compost, fruit trees, pet bowls, bird seed, bins. Remove the supply and the program works far faster.
Rats, mice, or a protected native species - that gets confirmed on site before any bait is placed.
Stations are tamper-resistant and fixed down, sited clear of children, pets and wildlife.

At roughly 39.9 km south-west of the city, Raby is on a route we run regularly. We cover it on scheduled runs, so a day's notice gets you the best slot. You will be given a time, not a window.
Uniform houses on small lots means uniform conditions. Whatever suits rats and mice at your address suits them at the ten around it, so these problems move along a street rather than stopping.
Newer estate housing with narrow side access and young landscaping, which puts the focus on the boundary and the fence line.
Yes. Houses, townhouses, units, strata common property, rentals and commercial sites in Raby 2566 are all part of what we do, and the paperwork is the kind agents accept.
It is, as long as you follow what we tell you on the day - usually keeping off treated surfaces for a couple of hours. Let us know at booking about young children, pets or an aquarium.
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.
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. That is the point of the warranty - you do not pay twice for the same problem.
We do. Raby and Kearns, Eschol Park, St Andrews and Varroville are all on the same route, which helps if you own more than one property in the area.
