Rodent Control in Rodd Point 2046 — local technicians, fixed prices and a written report. Rodent control starts from $89.
Real, verified feedback from people we've helped — straight from Google.
What we cover in Rodd Point, and how quickly we can get there.
Postcode 2046 covers Rodd Point and the streets immediately around it. At about 6.1 km west of the CBD it falls in the Inner West, where we have vans out daily. Our technicians are through Rodd Point most days, so same-day attendance is usually available.
Around Rodd Point we work the pockets near Nield Park, Leichhardt Park Aquatic Centre and Leichhardt North station most often, so the van is rarely far away when a job comes in.
The suburb sits in the Inner West, Burwood, Strathfield and Canada Bay area. Russell Lea, Five Dock and Wareemba are all covered on the same day, so a problem that has spread across a boundary can be handled in one visit. The building stock is close-packed, so we look at what the property adjoins before deciding where product goes.
The rodent calls we take from Rodd Point are mostly terraces and semis where the problem has come through a shared wall. If yours is one of them, mention it when you ring 1300 313 373 - it changes what the technician brings.
The whole of 2046 is on our regular run.
You get a confirmed time, not a window. We plan the 2046 run the day before, and if Russell Lea or Five Dock is on the same round there is often an earlier slot going.
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 Rodd Point property looking at exactly that.
Rats are neophobic: anything new in their environment is avoided for days before it is investigated. That is why a baiting program in a Rodd Point roof void is not judged on the first visit, and why moving stations around resets the clock.
Insurance claims from rodent-damaged wiring are common and often disputed. Treating early is cheaper than arguing later.
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 →
Bigger and heavier, blunt in the face, tail shorter than the body. Everything it does is at ground level - burrows in the subfloor, the drains, the compost, under the slab.
A pencil-width gap is all it needs, and it rarely moves far from the kitchen, pantry or the cavity alongside them. Mice control →
A native animal found near bushland reserves. It is protected in NSW, so correct identification comes before any treatment decision.
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 |
| 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 |
| What gets damaged | Cabling, downpipes and irrigation gnawed through, plus fruit in the garden | Packets chewed open, food nibbled, and paper shredded for nesting |
| Behaviour around stations | Neophobic: they avoid new objects at first, delaying the first visit | Curious by nature, investigating quickly but taking only small amounts |
| Rub marks | Dark greasy marks along beams, rafters and around entry holes | Very faint, and usually missed |

NSW Health lists leptospirosis, lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, rat bite fever and gastro infections such as salmonellosis among diseases linked to rodents.
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.
Where urine and droppings have reached benches or packaging, the food has to go and the surfaces need disinfecting.
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.
Inspection covers roof void, subfloor, kitchen and perimeter. Droppings, rub marks, nests and runways tell us whether it is rats, mice or both.
The recommendation follows the species, the building and the household. That produces a baiting program, a trapping program, proofing, or some combination.
We secure tamper-resistant stations on the located runways, out of reach, and trap instead in any area where baiting would not suit.
We identify the entry points - gaps, vents, penetrations - and give you the option of us sealing them or doing 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 | 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 traps or enclosed traps placed along walls and runways and checked on schedule | Kitchens and pantries, food premises, and small indoor numbers | Only works if placement is right and the traps are checked regularly |
| 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 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 favour bin rooms and basement car parks, mice the service risers. A one-unit treatment is rarely enough - the building needs a strata program.
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.
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.

Droppings along ducting and ceiling joists show the runways rodents use, and that's where stations go.
Shredded insulation used as nesting material in the subfloor is typical ground-level rat work.
Stations are locked and secured where they sit, so bait cannot be pulled out by rodents, pets or children.
Checking feeding at each station tells us when the population is falling and when to scale back.
The maths is the argument for acting early. Treating two mice costs a fraction of treating the thirty they become.
Roof rats travel along branches and power lines and enter at the eaves. Cutting back the branch touching a Rodd Point roof removes the bridge entirely.
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.
Rats, mice, or a protected native species - that gets confirmed on site before any bait is placed.
Only tamper-resistant stations, secured in position and kept away from children, pets and wildlife.

Same-day attendance is usually available. Rodd Point sits roughly 6.1 km west of the CBD, inside our Inner West run, so we book a time and keep to it.
Joined housing is the reason. Where walls, roof voids and sub-floors are continuous between properties, rats and mice are a street-level problem rather than a house-level one.
Joined housing with ageing drainage. That combination decides where product goes far more than the floor plan does.
We do. A lot of our Rodd Point work is rentals and strata, so the report, the products used and the areas treated are all recorded in writing for whoever needs them.
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.
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.
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.
Yes. As well as Rodd Point we cover Russell Lea, Five Dock, Wareemba and Haberfield on the same runs, so a job that crosses a boundary can be handled in one visit.
