Local technicians, fixed prices and a written report for every job in Westleigh.
Postcode 2120 covers Westleigh and the streets immediately around it. At about 20.7 km north-west of the CBD it falls in the Ryde & the Northern District, where we have vans out daily. We run Westleigh on a regular route, and same-day attendance is usually available.
A lot of our Westleigh jobs are in the streets around Oakleigh Park and Headen Park, and we are out near Westleigh Shopping Village regularly enough that the technician usually knows the access before they arrive.
Thornleigh, Pennant Hills and Normanhurst are all on the same route as Westleigh. The building stock is close-packed, so we look at what the property adjoins before deciding where product goes.
What we see in Westleigh is terraces and semis where the problem has come through a shared wall. Describing it accurately when you book saves a second visit.
Thornleigh Marketplace and Thornleigh station are on the same round, which means every part of 2120 is within our area.
Bookings for 2120 are confirmed the day before with a set arrival time, not an all-day window. Jobs at Thornleigh and Pennant Hills 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 Westleigh roof in March is a serious population by June, which is why waiting rarely works out.
Scratching overhead after dark usually means a nest rather than a visitor. In a Westleigh roof the nest is normally in the insulation near a warm spot, and that is where the job is - not the whole cavity.
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.
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.
Small enough for a six-millimetre gap, and it stays near food - kitchen, pantry, and the wall cavity behind. 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 | 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 it shows up | Roof void and eaves, subfloor, garden beds, underneath decking | Kitchen and pantry areas, 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 |
| Attitude to new things | Wary, so stations are not visited straight away | Curious, so stations get investigated fast - but each feed is tiny |
| Rub marks | Dark greasy rub marks on beams, rafters and around entry holes | Faint marks that are rarely noticed |

Leptospirosis, lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, rat bite fever and gastro infections such as salmonellosis all appear on the NSW Health list of rodent-linked diseases.
Constant gnawing is how a rodent keeps its teeth in check. In a roof void that means cabling, gas and water lines take the damage.
Where urine and droppings have reached benches or packaging, the food has to go and the surfaces need disinfecting.
Both breed repeatedly through the year, which is how a pair in autumn turns into a colony come spring.
From working out what's in the roof to confirming it's gone.
We check the roof void, subfloor, kitchen and perimeter for droppings, rub marks, nests and runways, and confirm whether it's rats, mice or both.
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 stations, secured on the identified runways and out of reach - with traps used in the places baiting does not suit.
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 | 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 | Snap traps or enclosed traps placed along walls and runways and checked on schedule | Kitchens and pantries, food premises, and small indoor numbers | Only works if placement is right and the traps are checked regularly |
| Proofing | Sealing gaps, vents, weep holes and pipe penetrations with rodent-resistant materials | Every property, once active rodents are under control | Doesn't remove rodents already inside, so it follows treatment |
| Monitoring | Non-toxic blocks or stations examined for gnaw damage and droppings | Businesses and strata, plus homes near reserves and waterways | Best value as an ongoing scheduled program |
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.
Rats often live in bin rooms and basement car parks, and mice travel through service risers. Treating one unit rarely fixes it. A strata program covering common property usually 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.

Droppings along the ducting and joists map the runways, which is exactly where stations belong.
Shredded insulation and nesting material under the floor is typical of ground-level rat activity.
Stations are locked and secured where they sit, so bait cannot be pulled out by rodents, pets or children.
Checking feeding at each station tells us when the population is falling and when to scale back.
Rodents gnaw constantly to keep their incisors down, and in a Westleigh roof void that means cabling. Chewed insulation on live wiring is a genuine fire risk and it is the reason we do not treat this as a nuisance problem.
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.
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 Westleigh property looking at exactly that.
Rats, mice, or a protected native species - that gets confirmed on site before any bait is placed.
Only tamper-resistant stations, secured in position and kept away from children, pets and wildlife.

Same-day attendance is usually available. We are about 20.7 km north-west of the city here, and Westleigh is covered by the Ryde & the Northern District team.
Joined housing is the reason. Where walls, roof voids and sub-floors are continuous between properties, rats and mice are a street-level problem rather than a house-level one.
Joined housing with ageing drainage. That combination decides where product goes far more than the floor plan does.
Yes. Houses, townhouses, units, strata common property, rentals and commercial sites in Westleigh 2120 are all part of what we do, and the paperwork is the kind agents accept.
Yes. The products are registered for this use and applied at label rates, and placement keeps them away from where children and animals go. Let us know at booking about pets, fish tanks or anyone with asthma and we will plan the visit around it.
You do not normally need to leave. Anything requiring an empty room is short, and you will know about it before the work starts.
An hour to two hours covers most jobs. The size of the building and the extent of the problem are what change it.
