Postcode 2074 covers Turramurra and the streets immediately around it. At about 16.8 km north-west of the CBD it falls in the Upper North Shore, where we have vans out daily. We run Turramurra on a regular route, and same-day attendance is usually available.
Our Turramurra work takes in the streets by Pymble Golf Club and Turramurra station, through to Turramurra Village Park at the other end.
We work under the Ku-ring-gai and Hornsby area here, and Warrawee, Pymble and Wahroonga are all on the same route, which matters when rodent problems are moving between adjoining properties. Backing onto bush means re-entry is the issue, so proofing and the perimeter do the real work here.
The bulk of our Turramurra work is houses backing onto a reserve, where the pressure is constant from outside. Mention the detail when you call 1300 313 373 - it decides how long we need on site.
Beyond that we cover the rest of 2074, including the streets around Duff Street Reserve.
We confirm your slot the day before and arrive at a stated time. Warrawee and Pymble sit on the same run, so earlier appointments in 2074 come up regularly.
Water pipes, downpipes, flexible gas lines and conduit all get gnawed. A small rodent problem in a Turramurra ceiling can become an expensive one through damage rather than numbers.
Rodent numbers do not creep up, they compound. Two in a Turramurra ceiling in autumn is a very different proposition by the end of winter.
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 Turramurra property looking at exactly that.
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.
It needs a gap no wider than a pencil to get in, and it lives close to its food source in kitchens, pantries and wall cavities. Mice control →
Found near bushland, and native. It is a protected animal in NSW, which is why we confirm the species before anything else happens.
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 | A heavy thump or drag in the roof, typically at night | Fast light scratching inside the wall and ceiling cavities |
| 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 |
| Damage | Cabling, downpipes and irrigation gnawed, and fruit taken in the garden | Packets chewed open, food nibbled, 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 |
| Grease marks | Dark rub marks on beams, rafters and entry holes | Faint marks, rarely noticed |

Among the diseases NSW Health links to rodents are leptospirosis, lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, rat bite fever and gastro infections including salmonellosis.
Because their incisors keep growing, they gnaw continually. Electrical cabling, gas and water lines in the roof are the common victims.
Droppings and urine across benches and packaging mean discarding the food and disinfecting everything they touched.
Both rats and mice breed several times a year, so a pair noticed in autumn can be 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.
Tamper-resistant lockable stations are fixed on the runways we located, out of reach, and traps go where baiting is not appropriate.
The entry points are identified and shown to you, with the option of a quote to proof them or instructions to handle it yourself.
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 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 | 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 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.
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.
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.

Where droppings line the ducting and ceiling joists, that is the runway - and that is where the stations are placed.
Finding shredded insulation and nest material in the subfloor points to ground-level rat activity.
Stations are locked and secured where they sit, so bait cannot be pulled out by rodents, pets or children.
Reading the feeding at each station is how we know the population is dropping and when to wind the program back.
Roof rats travel along branches and power lines and enter at the eaves. Cutting back the branch touching a Turramurra roof removes the bridge entirely.
A rodent problem is a food problem. Around Turramurra 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.
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 Turramurra job wastes the first fortnight.
Rats, mice, or a protected native species - that gets confirmed on site before any bait is placed.
We use tamper-resistant stations exclusively, fixed in place and positioned away from children, pets and wildlife.

Same-day attendance is usually available. Turramurra is about 16.8 km north-west of the CBD in the Upper North Shore, and we give you a firm arrival time rather than an all-day window.
Where bushland adjoins the block, the question is not how rats and mice got in but how often. The perimeter is what decides that.
Homes with sub-floors, roof voids and bush at the boundary - all three get inspected.
Yes. We work in houses, units, strata blocks, rentals and commercial premises across Turramurra 2074, and we provide the written report agents and strata managers ask for.
Yes, applied correctly. Products are registered for this use, placed out of reach rather than across open surfaces, and you will know what to stay off and for how long.
You do not normally need to leave. Anything requiring an empty room is short, and you will know about it before the work starts.
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.
All of them. Turramurra sits alongside Warrawee, Pymble, Wahroonga and West Pymble in our coverage, and they are serviced on the same schedule.
