Real, verified feedback from people we've helped — straight from Google.
Where St Marys sits, who covers it and what it costs.
St Marys is part of the Penrith & the Outer West, 41.7 km or so west of the GPO, and 2760 is a postcode we know well. We travel out to St Marys on planned runs through the Penrith & the Outer West, so booking a day ahead gets you the best slot.
A lot of our St Marys jobs are in the streets around Colonial Golf Course and St Marys station, and we are out near Victoria Park regularly enough that the technician usually knows the access before they arrive.
Penrith City and Hawkesbury is the council area for St Marys, and we treat Oxley Park, Claremont Meadows and Colyton on the same schedule. Bigger properties mean sheds, stables and stacked timber to check as well as the house.
The bulk of our St Marys work is larger blocks where the shed or the woodpile turns out to be the source. Mention the detail when you call 1300 313 373 - it decides how long we need on site.
Our St Marys runs also take in Wilson Oval and the area near St Marys Village, so the whole postcode is served.
When you book, we confirm the 2760 run the day before and give you an arrival time rather than a window. If we are already out at Oxley Park or Claremont Meadows that morning, we will usually offer you the earlier slot.
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 St Marys property looking at exactly that.
Scratching overhead after dark usually means a nest rather than a visitor. In a St Marys roof the nest is normally in the insulation near a warm spot, and that is where the job is - not the whole cavity.
Rodents stay where food is reliable. On a St Marys property that is usually the compost, the fruit tree or the pet bowl rather than anything inside the house.
Three introduced rodents cause almost every rodent job in Sydney. A fourth, the native bush rat, needs to be recognised and left alone.
Built for climbing: slim body, thin ears, tail longer than the body. It lives above head height in roof voids, wall cavities, palms and dense trees. Rat control →
A solid, blunt-nosed rat with a tail shorter than its body, and a burrower rather than a climber. Subfloors, drains, compost bays and the space under a 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 | Heavier thumps and dragging overhead, nearly always after dark | Light, quick scratching and scurrying through walls and ceilings |
| Where you find signs | Roof void, eaves, subfloor, garden beds, under decks | Kitchen, pantry, behind the fridge and stove, bottom drawers |
| Entry gap | About 12 mm or more, enlarged by gnawing where it is tighter | About 6 mm - 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 | Cautious with unfamiliar objects, which slows the first visit to a station | Quick to investigate something new, though they feed in very small amounts |
| Grease marks | Dark rub marks on beams, rafters and entry holes | Faint marks, rarely noticed |
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.

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.
Urine and droppings on benches and packaging mean food has to be thrown out and surfaces 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.
We read the evidence first - droppings, rub marks, nests, runways - through the roof void, subfloor, kitchen and perimeter, and confirm the species from it.
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.
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.
We return to check and refill the stations, record what activity there is, and wind the program back once feeding has stopped.
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 secured in tamper-resistant stations on live runways | Established activity in roof spaces, subfloors and around the perimeter | Not the right choice if odour from a carcass in a wall would be an issue |
| Trapping | Enclosed and snap traps set on runways and wall lines, checked to a schedule | Small indoor populations in kitchens, pantries and food businesses | Requires the right placement and a kept schedule |
| Proofing | Gaps, vents, weep holes and service penetrations sealed with rodent-resistant material | All properties, after active rodents are under control | Does nothing about rodents already indoors - it follows the treatment |
| Monitoring | Non-toxic blocks or stations, checked each visit for gnawing and droppings | Businesses, strata buildings and homes near reserves or waterways | Really only works as an ongoing scheduled service |
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.
Bin rooms and basement car parks house the rats; mice use the service risers. One unit treated alone rarely resolves it - a strata program across common property 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.
There is cover everywhere in a warehouse - the dock, the racking, the ceiling space. Warehouse and office programs run perimeter stations with scheduled monitoring and written reports.

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.
We fix every station down. That stops bait being dragged out by a rodent, a pet or a curious child.
We check what has been taken from each station, which shows the population declining and signals when to reduce the program.
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 St Marys job wastes the first fortnight.
Water pipes, downpipes, flexible gas lines and conduit all get gnawed. A small rodent problem in a St Marys ceiling can become an expensive one through damage rather than numbers.
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.
Nothing is baited until we know what it is. Rats, mice and protected natives are not treated the same way.
We use tamper-resistant stations exclusively, fixed in place and positioned away from children, pets and wildlife.
We hold NSW Pest Management licence 5122967, and every product is APVMA-registered and used to label.
