Real, verified feedback from people we've helped — straight from Google.
What we cover in Sadleir, and how quickly we can get there.
Sadleir is part of the South West Sydney, 29.8 km or so west of the GPO, and 2168 is a postcode we know well. We cover Sadleir on scheduled runs through the South West Sydney, and we will give you a firm time rather than a window.
A lot of our Sadleir jobs are in the streets around Elouera Bushland Reserve and Panorama Avenue Reserve, and we are out near Westfield Liverpool regularly enough that the technician usually knows the access before they arrive.
Under Liverpool, Fairfield and Cumberland, we cover Sadleir and Heckenberg, Ashcroft and Cartwright alike. Estate blocks are compact with narrow side passages, so access and the perimeter are where most of the work happens.
The bulk of our Sadleir work is recently built homes where the activity started at the boundary. Mention the detail when you call 1300 313 373 - it decides how long we need on site.
Valley Plaza Shopping Centre and Sadleir Park are on the same round, which means every part of 2168 is within our area.
We confirm your slot the day before and arrive at a stated time. Heckenberg and Ashcroft sit on the same run, so earlier appointments in 2168 come up regularly.
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 Sadleir job wastes the first fortnight.
A mouse gets through a gap the width of a pencil and a rat through one about the width of your thumb. Around Sadleir the usual ways in are weep holes, the gap under a roller door, and the hole a plumber cut and never sealed.
A rodent problem is a food problem. Around Sadleir 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.
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 →
Stocky, blunt-snouted, and with a tail shorter than the body. A burrower rather than a climber: subfloors, drain lines, compost and under slabs.
Small enough for a six-millimetre gap, and it stays near food - kitchen, pantry, and the wall cavity behind. Mice control →
This one is native and protected under NSW law, and it turns up near bushland reserves. Correct identification precedes any treatment decision.
Most people never get a clear look. These are the clues our technicians use instead.
| Clue | Rats | Mice |
|---|---|---|
| Droppings | Large pellets shaped like capsules, generally in clusters along the run | Small droppings the size of rice grains, scattered widely including inside drawers |
| Noise | Heavier thumps and dragging overhead, nearly always after dark | Light, quick scratching and scurrying through walls and ceilings |
| Where the signs are | The roof void and eaves, the subfloor, garden beds and under decking | Kitchen and pantry, behind the fridge and stove, and in bottom drawers |
| How small a gap | Around 12 mm upwards, and they can gnaw their way through less | Around 6 mm, the width of a pencil |
| Damage you find | Gnawing on cabling, downpipes and irrigation lines, and damage to garden fruit | Chewed packaging, nibbled food and paper torn up for nests |
| How they behave | Suspicious of anything new, so a station takes time to get visits | Inquisitive - they check a new object quickly, but only feed a little at a time |
| Grease and rub marks | Dark marks where they rub along beams, rafters and entry holes | Faint marks, not often seen |
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.
One call to a licensed Sydney technician gets you straight advice and a fixed quote within 30 minutes.
Among the diseases NSW Health links to rodents are leptospirosis, lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, rat bite fever and gastro infections including salmonellosis.
Rodents have to gnaw to wear their teeth down, and roof-void cabling, gas lines and water pipes are the usual casualties.
Where urine and droppings have reached benches or packaging, the food has to go and the surfaces need disinfecting.
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.
We go through the roof void, under the floor, the kitchen and the perimeter looking for droppings, rub marks, nests and runways - and confirm the species.
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.
Lockable, tamper-resistant stations go on the runways we find, secured and out of reach, with trap placement where baiting isn't suitable.
Every gap, vent and penetration they use is marked up, with a quote to proof them or guidance if you want to handle it.
Follow-up visits read and refill the stations and record activity, and the program winds down when feeding ceases.
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 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 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.
Where terraces share a roof void or wall cavity with the house next door - common through the Inner West and Eastern Suburbs - rodents travel between them freely. We concentrate on the roof void, the subfloor and the service penetrations.
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.
Food Standards Code Standard 3.2.2 obliges food businesses to take all practicable measures against pests. Restaurant programs trap inside food areas, number the stations beyond them, and provide the site plan an inspector asks for.
Loading docks, pallet racking and ceiling voids all shelter rodents, so warehouse and office programs rely on perimeter stations and scheduled, reported monitoring.

Where droppings line the ducting and ceiling joists, that is the runway - and that is where the stations are placed.
Insulation shredded for nesting material under the floor is the signature of ground-level rats.
Stations are secured in position so bait can't be dragged out by rodents, pets or curious children.
The feeding rate at each station tells us whether numbers are falling and when scaling back is appropriate.
Roof rats travel along branches and power lines and enter at the eaves. Cutting back the branch touching a Sadleir roof removes the bridge entirely.
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.
Water pipes, downpipes, flexible gas lines and conduit all get gnawed. A small rodent problem in a Sadleir ceiling can become an expensive one through damage rather than numbers.
Identification precedes any bait. Rats, mice and protected native rats each need a different answer.
We use tamper-resistant stations exclusively, fixed in place and positioned away from children, pets and wildlife.

Get a Free QuoteRodent control starts from $89. We quote on the property rather than the postcode, so a unit in Sadleir and a large house are priced differently. The figure is fixed before any work starts. Every general treatment carries a 6-month warranty.
We cover it on scheduled runs, so a day's notice gets you the best slot. We are about 29.8 km west of the city here, and Sadleir is covered by the South West Sydney team.
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 homes, tightly spaced, usually slab on ground - so the treatment concentrates on the perimeter and entry points.
Yes. We work in houses, units, strata blocks, rentals and commercial premises across Sadleir 2168, and we provide the written report agents and strata managers ask for.
Yes. Everything we use is registered for the purpose and applied at label rates, and we place product where people and animals do not go. Tell us about pets, aquariums or anyone with a respiratory condition at booking.
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.
Between one and two hours covers the majority of jobs. We do not book so tightly that a technician has to cut a job short.
Every general treatment carries a 6-month warranty. A return visit within the warranty period costs you nothing.
We cover the whole of Sadleir, from the streets around Westfield Liverpool out to the suburb boundary and on into Heckenberg.
