Safe and quick rodent treatment Sydney

Sydney has seen a dramatic increase in rodent infestations in recent years, becoming one of Australia's most affected cities. Warmer winters, urban development, and abundant food sources have created perfect conditions for rapid rodent population growth.

The statistics are alarming:

  • Two rats can multiply to over 1,250 in just one year
  • Peak infestation season runs from June to August
  • Rodents are associated with dreaded diseases like the bubonic plague, leptospirosis, rat-bite fever, salmonella and Hantavirus. Learn more about rodent-related health risks from NSW Health
  • Property damage from chewed wires can lead to house fires and water leaks

Signs of Rodent Infestation

Rodents are opportunists and will always find ways to get inside our home. Knowing how sneaky they can be, they also leave behind a trail which not many people notice until it becomes worse. Here are some signs that you have rodents living in your property:

  • Rodent droppings are small and pellet-like for mice, larger for rats.
  • When you hear them scratching or gnawing sounds, especially at night.
  • You’ve noticed the chewed wires, furniture, packaging, or insulation in your home or business property.
  • If you saw greasy rub marks along walls and baseboards, it is a sign there are rodents inside.
  • Bad smell like a strong ammonia-like odour; it’s from rodent urine.
  • Nesting materials like shredded paper or fabric they live in your home rent-free.

Do Rodent Repellents Actually Work?

You may have found yourself heading to Bunnings in search of a quick fix for rodents. The idea of a quick spray or a simple home remedy sounds appealing when you are dealing with scratching in the walls or droppings in the pantry.

If the spray doesn’t work, some DIY methods can also include common items such as peppermint oil or dryer sheets. Some mixes also include rubbing alcohol or vinegar diluted with water and sprayed in entry points around the home.

If you tried all these options but still see rodents around your house, DIY solutions for rodent repellent fail because these approaches can sometimes bring quick results, but they rarely last. Scents fade and need constant reapplication, while rodents often get used to the smell and stop avoiding the treated areas.

Our Comprehensive Rodent Pest Control Process

Protecting your home or business from rodents is about safeguarding health and preventing costly damage. At Sydney Pest Crew, we provide tailored rodent pest control services that not only remove existing pests but also stop them from coming back.

Thorough property inspection

Our licensed technicians start with a detailed inspection of your property. We look for clear signs of activity, such as droppings, gnaw marks, and nesting materials. Attics, basements, and roof spaces are checked carefully, as these are common hiding spots. Identifying the exact rodent species, whether it’s mice, Norway rats, or roof rats, helps us create the most effective treatment plan.

Exclusions and securing entry points

The best way to keep rodents out is to block their access. We seal cracks, holes, and gaps around doors, windows, walls, and roofing. This exclusion process prevents new infestations and strengthens your property’s long-term defence against rodents.

Safe traps and baiting Systems

To reduce active populations, we install traps and bait stations in targeted areas. Our bait stations are tamper-resistant and designed to keep pets and children safe while remaining highly effective against rodents. Ongoing checks and adjustments ensure that these systems continue to deliver results until the problem is resolved.

Types of Rodents We Remove

In Sydney, rodents are a year-round problem that invade both homes and businesses. These pests spread disease, damage property, and contaminate food. Our rodent pest control services target the most common invaders to keep your property safe.

Rats

Rats are one of the most destructive pests in Sydney, often hiding in roofs, walls, and drains. They chew wires, gnaw timber, and spread serious health risks like salmonella and leptospirosis. Our expert rat control in Sydney uses safe, proven methods to remove infestations and prevent future entry.

Mice

Mice may be small, but they breed quickly and cause major problems inside Sydney homes and businesses. They contaminate food, leave droppings, and spread harmful bacteria. Our professional mice control in Sydney targets hidden nests, sealing off entry points and applying safe treatments.

Possums

Possums are common in Sydney and often invade roofs, ceilings, and sheds in search of warmth and food. While protected native animals, they can cause loud noise, foul odours, and structural damage. Our humane possum removal services safely relocate them while securing entry points to stop them returning. We handle possum control in Sydney with care, ensuring compliance with local regulations.

Residential & Commercial Rodent Pest Control Solutions

Rodents can cause serious damage in both homes and businesses, leading to expensive repairs, contamination, and health risks. Our residential and commercial rodent pest control services are designed to protect families, staff, and customers.

Alongside homes and workplaces, we also provide rodent pest control for construction sites, where open access and waste can attract infestations. Our tailored approach ensures properties and projects remain safe, compliant, and rodent-free.

Frequently asked questions about rodents:

We carry out our work with pride and confidence. Sydney Pest Crew has numerous years of experience and the professionalism to provide you with a quality service, every time.

What is the most effective rodent pest control?

The most effective rodent pest control typically involves a combination of methods, focusing on eliminating current infestations and preventing future ones. This often includes trapping, baiting, and exclusion techniques

We have mice or rats in the house, how can we get them out quickly?

There are numerous applications we can provide for both immediate and long-term control. Such applications include modern snap traps, sticky boards and baiting systems. Some will obtain quicker results than others however all applications will be explained to the client by our technicians, which you can confirm if you are satisfied with that application being implemented.

Are baits safe for my pets?

Rodent baits are kept in a lockable pet and child-friendly boxes which can only be opened by a licensed technician with a key. As long as stations are not being tampered with or forced open by residents then pets will remain safe. Bait will never be installed externally or within kitchens etc without a bait station around it.

Should I worry if I find baby mice in my house?

Yes, finding baby mice indicates an active breeding population within your home. This means there are likely more adult mice present, and the infestation can quickly grow.

What is the best way to get rid of rats?

The best way to get rid of rats often involves a multi-pronged approach:

  • Trapping: Snap traps are generally considered effective for rats.
  • Baiting: Using appropriate rodenticides in secure bait stations.
  • Exclusion: Sealing entry points to prevent more rats from entering.
  • Sanitation: Removing food sources and clutter.

How effective is pest control for rodents?

Professional pest control for rodents can be highly effective. Pest control technicians have the knowledge, tools, and access to stronger products and strategies to eliminate infestations and implement preventative measures.

Are rodents hard to get rid of?

Rodents can be challenging to get rid of completely, especially established infestations. Their ability to reproduce quickly, hide in small spaces, and their cautious nature can make DIY efforts less successful than professional intervention.

Will rats leave if there is no food?

While removing food sources can deter rats and make your home less attractive, they may not leave entirely. Rats also need water and shelter, and if those are available, they might stay even with limited food. Eliminating food sources is a crucial part of long-term control but is often not enough on its own.

Are there government guidelines for rodent pest control?

Yes, Australian health departments and industry associations provide comprehensive guidelines. See resources from SA Health, AEPMA, and Food Standards Australia New Zealand for official recommendations.
