Where Wollstonecraft sits, who covers it and what it costs.
Wollstonecraft is part of the Lower North Shore, 4.3 km or so north-west of the GPO, and 2065 is a postcode we know well. Our technicians are through Wollstonecraft most days, so same-day attendance is usually available.
Around Wollstonecraft we work the pockets near Greenwood Plaza, Lane Cove Country Club and Wollstonecraft station most often, so the van is rarely far away when a job comes in.
North Sydney, Mosman, Willoughby, Lane Cove and Hunters Hill is the council area for Wollstonecraft, and we treat Greenwich, Waverton and North Sydney on the same schedule. Period homes near the harbour tend to have sub-floors, original timber and gardens running down to the boundary, so the inspection covers well beyond the kitchen.
Most Wollstonecraft bookings come in as period houses and converted blocks where the lower level is the problem. Say which one applies when you call 1300 313 373 and the technician will have the right products on the van.
Beyond that we are regularly around Milray Reserve, and out as far as Greenwich Baths. If you are anywhere in 2065, you are inside the area we run.
Bookings for 2065 are confirmed the day before with a set arrival time, not an all-day window. Jobs at Greenwich and Waverton often share the same run, which is how earlier slots come up.
The skeleton of a rodent is far more flexible than it looks. If the skull fits, the animal follows, which is why the gap around a pipe penetration in a Wollstonecraft wall is a genuine entry point rather than a detail.
Rodents gnaw constantly to keep their incisors down, and in a Wollstonecraft 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.
A mouse will nest in a drawer or a wall void; a rat wants the roof cavity or the sub-floor. Knowing which you have decides where everything goes.
Three introduced rodents cause almost every rodent job in Sydney. A fourth, the native bush rat, needs to be recognised and left alone.
A lightweight, agile rat with large thin ears and a long tail. Everything about it suits height - roof spaces, cavities, palm crowns and thick planting. Rat control →
The heavier species: blunt snout, tail shorter than the body, and a burrowing habit that puts it in subfloors, drains, compost bays and beneath slabs.
A pencil-width gap is all it takes. Mice stay near food, which means kitchens, pantries and the wall cavities alongside them. Mice control →
A protected native animal, common near bushland reserves in Sydney. Nothing is decided about treatment until the species is confirmed.
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 | Heavier thumps and dragging overhead, nearly always after dark | Light, quick scratching and scurrying through walls and ceilings |
| 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 |
| Size of entry gap | Roughly 12 mm or more, and gnawing enlarges anything smaller | Roughly 6 mm - about as wide as a pencil |
| Damage | Gnawed cabling, downpipes, irrigation and fruit in the garden | Chewed packets, nibbled food and shredded paper for nests |
| 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 | Noticeable dark rub marks on beams, rafters and at entry points | Faint enough that they are rarely spotted |

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.
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.
First the evidence: droppings, rub marks, nests and runways through the roof void, subfloor, kitchen and perimeter, which tells us if it is rats, mice or both.
We match the program to the species, the building and the people in it - children, pets, food handling - and that settles baiting, trapping, proofing or a blend.
We secure tamper-resistant stations on the located runways, out of reach, and trap instead in any area where baiting would not suit.
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.
Stations are checked and topped up, activity is recorded and the program is scaled back once feeding stops.
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 secured inside tamper-resistant stations on active runways | Roof voids, subfloors and outdoor perimeters with established activity | Not ideal where a carcass in a cavity would cause 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 | 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, 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.
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.
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.
Standard 3.2.2 of the Food Standards Code sets the obligation: all practicable measures to keep pests out. Restaurant programs use trapping in food handling areas, numbered stations elsewhere, and a documented site plan.
Loading docks, pallet racking and ceiling spaces give rodents plenty of cover. Warehouse and office programs use perimeter stations and scheduled monitoring with reports.

The droppings trace the runway along ducting and joists, and stations go on the runway rather than anywhere convenient.
Nesting material and torn-up insulation under the floor is what ground-dwelling rats leave behind.
Each station is fixed in place so nothing - rodent, pet or child - can drag the bait out of it.
Reading the feeding at each station is how we know the population is dropping and when to wind the program back.
Rats are neophobic: anything new in their environment is avoided for days before it is investigated. That is why a baiting program in a Wollstonecraft roof void is not judged on the first visit, and why moving stations around resets the clock.
The maths is the argument for acting early. Treating two mice costs a fraction of treating the thirty they become.
Roof rats travel along branches and power lines and enter at the eaves. Cutting back the branch touching a Wollstonecraft roof removes the bridge entirely.

Get a Free QuoteRodent control starts from $89. What changes the figure is the size of the building, how many areas are affected and the access. You get that number up front for Wollstonecraft 2065, with no call-out fee. Every general treatment carries a 6-month warranty.
Same-day attendance is usually available. Our Lower North Shore technicians cover Wollstonecraft daily, and you get a confirmed arrival time when you book.
Old houses, steep blocks and heavy planting. The lower level cut into the slope stays cool and damp, and that is where rats and mice settle well before anyone notices them upstairs.
Period homes and converted apartments with original timber, sub-floors and established gardens, all of which get inspected.
Yes. We work in houses, units, strata blocks, rentals and commercial premises across Wollstonecraft 2065, and we provide the written report agents and strata managers ask for.
It is, provided the instructions are followed. We will tell you what to keep clear of and for how long before we leave. Let us know about children, pets or fish tanks when you book.
In the great majority of jobs, no. If one area needs to be left for an hour or two we say so before we start rather than after.
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 inside that period does not cost you anything.
We do. Wollstonecraft and Greenwich, Waverton, North Sydney and Crows Nest are all on the same route, which helps if you own more than one property in the area.
