Rodent Control in Ultimo 2007 — local technicians, fixed prices and a written report. Rodent control starts from $89.
Real, verified feedback from people we've helped — straight from Google.
What we cover in Ultimo, and how quickly we can get there.
If you are in Ultimo or anywhere else in 2007, you are in our Sydney CBD & Inner City patch, 1.9 km south-west of the CBD. Our technicians are through Ultimo most days, so same-day attendance is usually available.
Most weeks we are somewhere between Central station and Wentworth Park station in Ultimo, and Tumbalong Park is close enough to be on the same run.
We cover Chippendale, Haymarket and Darlington on the same runs as Ultimo, which helps when rodent problems are moving between neighbouring properties. Nearly everything here is apartments, so the question is always whether the problem is in your flat or in the building - the risers, the bin room, the wall cavities between lots.
The rodent calls we take from Ultimo are mostly flats where the neighbouring lot is the actual source. If yours is one of them, mention it when you ring 1300 313 373 - it changes what the technician brings.
Prince Alfred Park and Broadway Shopping Centre are on the same round, which means every part of 2007 is within our area.
You get a confirmed time, not a window. We plan the 2007 run the day before, and if Chippendale or Haymarket is on the same round there is often an earlier slot going.
Insurance claims from rodent-damaged wiring are common and often disputed. Treating early is cheaper than arguing later.
Rodents stay where food is reliable. On a Ultimo property that is usually the compost, the fruit tree or the pet bowl rather than anything inside the house.
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 Ultimo job wastes the first fortnight.
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 heavy-set rat with a blunt muzzle and a short tail. It works at ground level, burrowing into subfloors, drains, compost bays and the space under a slab.
Tiny - a gap the width of a pencil is enough - and it rarely strays far from food in the kitchen, the pantry or the wall cavity behind. 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 | Bigger capsule-shaped pellets, usually grouped along a runway | Tiny rice-grain pellets spread about, turning up in drawers and cupboards |
| Noise | Heavy movement - thumps and dragging - in the roof, usually at night | Light rapid scratching and scurrying in the walls and ceiling |
| Where you see evidence | Roof void, eaves, under the floor, in garden beds and beneath decks | The kitchen and pantry, behind white goods, and in the lowest drawers |
| Gap they need | About 12 mm and up - and they will gnaw a small one wider | About 6 mm, which is roughly a pencil's width |
| Damage | Gnawed cabling, downpipes, irrigation and fruit in the garden | Chewed packets, nibbled food and shredded paper 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 |
| Rub marks | Dark greasy rub marks on beams, rafters and around entry holes | Faint marks that are rarely noticed |

NSW Health lists leptospirosis, lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, rat bite fever and gastro infections such as salmonellosis among diseases linked to rodents.
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 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.
We read the evidence first - droppings, rub marks, nests, runways - through the roof void, subfloor, kitchen and perimeter, and confirm the species from it.
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.
Lockable, tamper-resistant stations go on the runways we find, secured and out of reach, with trap placement where baiting isn't suitable.
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.
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 | Rodenticide blocks held inside tamper-resistant stations on the active runs | Roof voids, subfloors and outdoor perimeters where activity is established | Unsuitable where a carcass in a cavity would create odour problems |
| Trapping | Snap and enclosed traps along the walls and runways, on a checking schedule | Small indoor populations, kitchens, pantries and food businesses | Depends on correct placement and regular checking |
| Proofing | Closing off gaps, vents, weep holes and pipe penetrations using rodent-resistant materials | Any property, once the active rodents have been brought under control | It will not remove what is already inside, so it comes after treatment |
| Monitoring | Non-toxic monitoring stations read for gnaw marks and droppings | Strata, commercial sites and homes close to bushland or water | Best run as a continuing scheduled program |
Why baiting often outperforms DIY snap traps in roof voids: read our explainer.
Shared roof voids and wall cavities are normal in Inner West and Eastern Suburbs terraces, and rodents use them to move between houses. The work centres on the roof void, subfloor and the gaps where services come in.
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.
The Food Standards Code, Standard 3.2.2, requires all practicable measures to keep pests out of a food business. Restaurant programs mean trapping in food areas, numbered stations elsewhere, and a site plan for the inspector.
Loading docks, pallet racking and ceiling voids all shelter rodents, so warehouse and office programs rely on perimeter stations and scheduled, reported monitoring.

Droppings along ducting and ceiling joists show the runways rodents use, and that's where stations go.
Shredded insulation and nesting material under the floor is typical of ground-level rat activity.
Secured in position and lockable, so the bait stays inside regardless of rodents, pets or children.
Checking feeding at each station tells us when the population is falling and when to scale back.
A mouse gets through a gap the width of a pencil and a rat through one about the width of your thumb. Around Ultimo the usual ways in are weep holes, the gap under a roller door, and the hole a plumber cut and never sealed.
If nothing has been taken from a station after a few days in a Ultimo job, that is normal for rats rather than a failed treatment. We leave stations in place precisely because moving them starts the wariness again.
Roof rats travel along branches and power lines and enter at the eaves. Cutting back the branch touching a Ultimo roof removes the bridge entirely.
Rats, mice, or a protected native species - that gets confirmed on site before any bait is placed.
Tamper-resistant stations, fixed in place, away from children, pets and wildlife.

At roughly 1.9 km south-west of the city, Ultimo is on a route we run regularly. Same-day attendance is usually available. You will be given a time, not a window.
Waste is centralised in a tower - chutes, bin rooms, loading areas - and that concentration is what keeps rats and mice fed. Height makes no difference; the risers are a staircase.
Apartments throughout, which means treating your lot and scoping the building where the pattern points at common property.
We do all of those. A good share of the Ultimo 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.
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.
Yes. As well as Ultimo we cover Chippendale, Haymarket, Darlington and Glebe on the same runs, so a job that crosses a boundary can be handled in one visit.
