Real, verified feedback from people we've helped — straight from Google.
Where Scheyville sits, who covers it and what it costs.
Scheyville sits about 41.6 km north-west of the CBD in the Hawkesbury & the Rural North-West, and postcode 2756 is one we are in most weeks. We travel out to Scheyville on planned runs through the Hawkesbury & the Rural North-West, so booking a day ahead gets you the best slot.
A good share of our Scheyville work is in the streets around Scheyville National Park and Lynwood Golf Course.
Hawkesbury is the council area for Scheyville, and we treat Oakville, Maraylya and Pitt Town on the same schedule. With acreage the problem is often outside the house entirely - sheds, woodpiles and outbuildings get inspected too.
What we see in Scheyville is acreage properties with outbuildings that need checking alongside the house. Describing it accurately when you book saves a second visit.
Every part of 2756 is covered as standard.
Bookings for 2756 are confirmed the day before with a set arrival time, not an all-day window. Jobs at Oakville and Maraylya often share the same run, which is how earlier slots come up.
A female mouse can produce a litter every three weeks, and those young breed at six weeks. A single pair in a Scheyville roof in March is a serious population by June, which is why waiting rarely works out.
Rodents stay where food is reliable. On a Scheyville property that is usually the compost, the fruit tree or the pet bowl rather than anything inside the house.
Rats are neophobic: anything new in their environment is avoided for days before it is investigated. That is why a baiting program in a Scheyville roof void is not judged on the first visit, and why moving stations around resets the clock.
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 →
Heavier, with a blunt snout and a tail shorter than its body. Burrows at ground level: subfloors, drains, compost bays and under slabs.
A pencil-width gap is all it needs, and it rarely moves far from the kitchen, pantry or the cavity alongside them. Mice control →
This is a native animal with legal protection in NSW. Correct identification is not a formality here - it determines whether treatment is lawful at all.
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 thumping or dragging in the roof, usually after dark | Light, fast scratching and scurrying in walls and ceilings |
| 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 |
| Entry gaps | 12 mm or bigger, though they will chew a tighter gap open | 6 mm or so, about the width of a pencil |
| What they damage | Gnawed cables, downpipes and irrigation lines, plus garden fruit | Chewed packaging and nibbled food, with paper torn up for nests |
| 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 |

The NSW Health list of rodent-associated diseases includes leptospirosis, lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, rat bite fever and gastro infections like salmonellosis.
Because their incisors keep growing, they gnaw continually. Electrical cabling, gas and water lines in the roof are the common victims.
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.
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.
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 | 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 | Enclosed or snap traps set on the wall lines and runways, serviced to a schedule | Food businesses, kitchens and pantries, and small indoor populations | Requires correct placement and consistent 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 | Stations holding non-toxic blocks, read for gnawing and droppings | Strata buildings, businesses and homes close to reserves or waterways | Only really works as a scheduled, continuing 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.
The rats are usually in the bin room or basement car park, the mice in the risers. That is why a single-unit treatment seldom works and a strata program on 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.
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.
Shredded insulation used as nesting material in the subfloor is typical ground-level rat work.
Secured in position and lockable, so the bait stays inside regardless of rodents, pets or children.
Feeding levels at the stations are the measure - they tell us the population is falling and when to scale back.
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 Scheyville property looking at exactly that.
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 Scheyville job wastes the first fortnight.
Roof rats travel along branches and power lines and enter at the eaves. Cutting back the branch touching a Scheyville roof removes the bridge entirely.
Rats, mice or a protected native? We confirm it on site before any bait goes down.
Stations are tamper-resistant and fixed down, sited clear of children, pets and wildlife.

We cover it on scheduled runs, so a day's notice gets you the best slot. Scheyville is about 41.6 km north-west of the CBD in the Hawkesbury & the Rural North-West, and we give you a firm arrival time rather than an all-day window.
Acreage means more harbourage. Stacked timber, disused sheds and open ground all support rats and mice populations that eventually work their way inward.
Rural-residential blocks where the shed, feed store or woodpile is as likely to be the source as the building itself.
Yes. We work in houses, units, strata blocks, rentals and commercial premises across Scheyville 2756, 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 rodent control work is done with you there, and anything that needs the room vacated is for a short period we will tell you about beforehand.
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.
