Local technicians, fixed prices and a written report for every job in Silverdale.
We treat rats and mice right across 2752. Silverdale is roughly 55.1 km west of the city, which puts it well inside the Penrith & the Outer West run our technicians work. We travel out to Silverdale on planned runs through the Penrith & the Outer West, so booking a day ahead gets you the best slot.
Most weeks we are somewhere between Scotcheys Creek Reserve and Silverdale Shopping Centre in Silverdale, and Ridgehaven Road Park is close enough to be on the same run.
This is the Penrith City and Hawkesbury area, and our runs here also take in Mulgoa, Luddenham and Bringelly. On larger blocks the outbuildings, sheds and woodpiles are usually where the problem is sitting, so they are part of the inspection.
The bulk of our Silverdale work is acreage properties with outbuildings that need checking alongside the house. Mention the detail when you call 1300 313 373 - it decides how long we need on site.
The whole of 2752 is on our regular run.
We confirm your slot the day before and arrive at a stated time. Mulgoa and Luddenham sit on the same run, so earlier appointments in 2752 come up regularly.
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 Silverdale job wastes the first fortnight.
Rats are neophobic: anything new in their environment is avoided for days before it is investigated. That is why a baiting program in a Silverdale 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 →
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 →
Native, and protected under NSW law. It lives near bushland reserves, so on those properties identification comes 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 clearly bigger, gathered along a runway | Rice-grain pellets spread about widely, 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 signs appear | The roof void and eaves, the subfloor, garden beds, under decking | Kitchen and pantry, behind fridge and stove, in the bottom drawers |
| Entry gaps | Around 12 mm or larger, and they can gnaw it bigger | Around 6 mm, roughly the width of a pencil |
| Typical damage | Cables, downpipes, irrigation and garden fruit all gnawed | Chewed-open packets, food nibbled at, shredded paper nesting material |
| Behaviour | Neophobic - they avoid anything new, so stations take time to be visited | Curious, investigating new objects fast but feeding only in small amounts |
| Grease and rub marks | Dark marks where they rub along beams, rafters and entry holes | Faint marks, not often seen |

Leptospirosis, lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, rat bite fever and gastro infections such as salmonellosis all appear on the NSW Health list of rodent-linked diseases.
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.
Rats and mice breed several times annually, so an autumn sighting of two is a spring colony.
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.
What we recommend depends on three things: which rodent, what kind of building, and who is in it. That gives you 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.
You get shown every gap, vent and penetration they are using, with a quote to seal them - or instructions if you would rather do it yourself.
Each visit checks and tops up the stations and records activity. When feeding stops, the program scales back.
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 | Traps - snap or enclosed - positioned along walls and runways, checked routinely | Indoor areas with small populations: kitchens, pantries, food premises | Placement has to be right and the schedule has to be kept |
| Proofing | Gaps, vents, weep holes and pipe penetrations sealed with rodent-resistant materials | Every building, once the active population is under control | It will not clear rodents already inside, so it comes 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.
In Inner West and Eastern Suburbs terraces the roof void and wall cavities often run between properties, letting rodents move at will. Roof void, subfloor and service entry points are where we work.
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.
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.
Warehouses offer rodents cover at the dock, in the racking and above the ceiling. Our warehouse and office programs use perimeter stations on a monitoring schedule, with reports each visit.

Ducting and ceiling joists with droppings along them mark the routes in use, and the stations follow those routes.
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.
Reading the feeding at each station is how we know the population is dropping and when to wind the program back.
A female mouse can produce a litter every three weeks, and those young breed at six weeks. A single pair in a Silverdale roof in March is a serious population by June, which is why waiting rarely works out.
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 Silverdale property looking at exactly that.
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.

We cover it on scheduled runs, so a day's notice gets you the best slot. We are about 55.1 km west of the city here, and Silverdale is covered by the Penrith & the Outer West team.
Out here the problem is normally outside the building. We inspect the outbuildings and the stored timber because that is where rats and mice are actually established.
Acreage and rural-residential homes. We inspect the outbuildings and woodpiles alongside the house.
We do all of those. A good share of the Silverdale jobs we run are tenanted or strata properties, so the written record comes as standard.
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.
In most cases you can stay. Where an area does need to be left clear it is for a couple of hours at most, and we say so before we start.
Allow an hour to two hours for most properties. A bigger building, or one where the problem has spread, takes longer - and we would rather tell you that when quoting than rush it.
Every general treatment carries a 6-month warranty. A return visit within the warranty period costs you nothing.
We do. Silverdale and Mulgoa, Luddenham, Bringelly and Badgerys Creek are all on the same route, which helps if you own more than one property in the area.
