Rat & Mice Control Sydney
Rats and mice are removed with a proper baiting and trapping program, not a couple of supermarket traps. We find how they're getting in, place locked bait stations and traps where activity is highest, then show you the entry points to seal. Most homes are quiet within one to two weeks.
We don't just throw bait and leave. Our rodent program combines secure lockable bait stations, trapping where appropriate, and practical proofing advice to block the entry points that let them in, for homes, cafes, warehouses and strata common areas.
The short answer
How do you get rid of rats and mice in the house?
Rodent control in Sydney combines lockable tamper-resistant bait stations, trapping on active runways and sealing entry points. A technician inspects the roof void, subfloor and perimeter, treats, then gives you a proofing plan so rats and mice cannot simply return.

Sydney timing
When this peaks in Sydney
- Mar to JunThe big one. Sydney rats move into roof voids as autumn nights cool.
- Jul to AugPeak indoor pressure, scratching and gnawing noises at night are most reported.
- Sep to FebNumbers build outdoors in gardens, bin areas and construction zones before the autumn move-in.
Local knowledge
What we see around Rhodes and Sydney
Waterfront and canal-side suburbs such as Rhodes, Wentworth Point, Meadowbank and Concord have strong rat pressure from foreshore vegetation, stormwater lines and construction sites. Apartment bin rooms and basement carparks are the usual pathway, so we treat and proof both the unit and its access points.

Common questions
Is rodent baiting safe around pets and children?
Yes, we use lockable, tamper-resistant stations placed in areas children and pets can't access, and we'll walk you through exactly where everything is.
Can you find and block the entry points?
Absolutely. Every rodent job includes an entry-point assessment, and we can seal common gaps as part of the visit where practical.
