Pest management for Sydney warehouses, factories and logistics sites: perimeter rodent programs, dock doors, pallets, birds in high bays and stored product pests.
Real, verified feedback from people we've helped — straight from Google.
A warehouse is a giant open box with doors that stay up all day. Rats come in from the industrial estate, drainage lines and neighbouring yards, pigeons roost on the steel trusses above your racking, spiders web the amenities and dock shelters, and pallets arrive carrying whatever was in the last truck or container.
We manage large sites in layers. The outer layer is a ring of locked rodent stations along fence lines and walls. The second layer is dock doors and entry points, where we look at door seals, gaps and lighting. Inside, we use non-toxic monitoring and traps around stock, check high bays for birds and inspect raw materials for stored product pests.
Everything is mapped, numbered and reported, and our technicians follow your site induction, forklift traffic rules and PPE requirements.
Built for sites where stock, machinery and people share the same space.
Locked, anchored bait stations spaced along fence lines, building walls and near bins, checked and recorded each visit.
Inspection of door seals, brush strips and dock levellers, where rodents and birds enter while trucks load.
Non-toxic monitoring blocks and mechanical traps inside, so bait never sits near stock or packaging.
Inspection of grain, flour, seed and dried goods, with pheromone monitoring through our stored product program.
Nest removal, netting, spikes and wire to stop pigeons roosting above racking. See bird control.
Treatment of offices, lunchrooms, toilets, dock shelters and external walls, where spiders and cockroaches collect.
Walk your site with this table. These are the zones where we find most activity.
| Zone | Signs of a problem | How it's controlled |
|---|---|---|
| Fence line & yard | Burrows along slabs, runways through long grass, droppings near skip bins | External station ring, vegetation kept short, rubbish removed |
| Dock doors & levellers | Gnaw marks on seals, daylight under doors, droppings beside leveller pits | Door seal repairs, pit cleaning, stations each side of doors |
| Pallet storage | Shredded wrap or cardboard, nesting between stacked pallets, insects in timber | Inspection of inbound pallets, stacking away from walls, rotation |
| Racking & high bays | Bird droppings on stock and floors, feathers, nests on beams | Bird netting, spikes or wire, nest removal and clean-up |
| Raw materials & food stock | Webbing, small beetles or moths, holes in bags | Pheromone monitors, stock inspection, isolation of infested lots |
| Lunchrooms & amenities | Cockroaches at night, ants at the sink, webs in toilets | Baiting, crack-and-crevice treatment, hygiene advice |

Roller doors that stay up for loading give rodents and birds an easy way in, especially at dusk and overnight shifts.
Stacked pallets, stretch wrap and cardboard create warm, undisturbed nesting places that can go unchecked for months.
Drainage channels, vacant lots and neighbouring food businesses around estates keep rodent pressure high.
Bright dock lighting draws insects and the spiders that feed on them, while tall trusses give pigeons a safe roost.
From the first site walk to trend reviews that tighten control where it's needed.
A walk of the perimeter, docks, racking, amenities and roof line with your site or operations manager.
We complete your site induction and agree on PPE, forklift traffic zones, work at heights and permits.
Numbered external stations and internal monitors installed and mapped to your layout.
Nest removal, clean-up and bird deterrents installed where roosting is found, often with an elevated work platform.
Every device checked and recorded, new activity treated and entry points re-inspected.
Activity by zone is compared across visits so the program can be tightened where pressure is rising.
Pigeons roosting on trusses drop faeces and feathers onto stock, packaging and walkways. Nests block gutters and droppings stain and corrode surfaces. For food and pharmaceutical storage, droppings on product can mean stock is rejected.
Netting across truss bays, spikes and bird wire on ledges and beams, and closing gaps at the ridge and eaves. Once birds can't land or nest, they move on.
Feral pigeons are the usual culprits, but native birds are protected under the NSW Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016. We identify the species first, and deterrents are designed to exclude birds rather than harm them.
Dried droppings should be dampened before removal and never dry swept or blown with compressed air. Where heavy fouling is found we can follow proofing with pest disinfection.
Share this with your warehouse supervisors. It stops most rodent and insect problems at the door.
How we fit into your site's safety systems.
Under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (NSW), businesses sharing a workplace have duties to consult and co-ordinate on safety. We work to your site rules and share our own safe work documents.
Every product used is APVMA-registered and applied to its label. Safety data sheets are available, bait stations are locked and anchored, and application areas are recorded.
Bird proofing and roof work may need an elevated work platform or other access equipment. We plan that with you and schedule it when the area below can be kept clear.
Technicians wear high-visibility clothing, stay within pedestrian zones where possible and co-ordinate with supervisors when working in forklift aisles.
Sydney's logistics belts run from Alexandria and Botany near the port, through Wetherill Park, Smithfield and Eastern Creek, to Erskine Park and the growing estates near the Western Sydney airport corridor. Sites near stormwater channels, creeks and vacant land see steady rodent pressure, and estates with food distribution centres nearby often deal with more rats and cockroaches moving between yards.
Factories and warehouses handling food may also need a documented Integrated Pest Management program. Offices attached to the warehouse can be covered under the same visit, and wider building gaps can be sealed with pest proofing.

Generally no. Toxic bait is kept in locked stations outside and around the perimeter. Inside, near stock and packaging, we use non-toxic monitors and mechanical traps so there is less risk of bait being carried onto products or rodents dying inside pallets.
We check door seals, brush strips and gaps at leveller pits, place stations on each side of the doors, and recommend closing doors when not loading. Damaged seals and gaps at the base of roller doors are among the most common entry points we find.
Yes. We remove nests and droppings, then install netting, spikes or bird wire on trusses and ledges so pigeons can't roost. Work at height is done with the right access equipment. Native birds are protected in NSW, so any approach is chosen with that in mind.
They can be. NSW Health notes psittacosis is usually caught by breathing in dust from dried droppings or feathers of infected birds. Droppings shouldn't be dry swept. We clean them up using wet methods and PPE, and can disinfect the area afterwards.
They are beetles and moths that live in dry goods such as grain, flour, seed, nuts, pet food and spices. They can spread from one infested pallet to clean stock. We inspect raw materials, use pheromone traps to monitor them and help you isolate infested lots.
Yes. We complete site inductions, wear the PPE you require, follow forklift and pedestrian traffic rules, and provide safe work method statements and safety data sheets when asked. Your business and ours both have work health and safety duties on your site.
Many warehouses are serviced every one to two months, and sites storing food or ingredients more often. Sites with low activity and good proofing may need fewer visits. We set the frequency after the assessment and adjust it using the trend data from each visit.
Yes. Many logistics sites run long shifts, so we often service during quieter periods, such as early mornings, late evenings or weekends, to keep technicians away from peak forklift traffic. Tell us your shift pattern and we will suggest the safest service window for each zone of the site.
Yes. Spiders collect around dock lighting, dock shelters, external walls, amenities and offices. We treat those areas and remove webs, and suggest changes to lighting near doors, since the insects that lights attract are what feed the spiders. Webs in high areas are removed using suitable access equipment.
