Inspection
A detailed survey maps active runs, nests and the species present. The technician notes food sources and harbourage areas that need attention.
24 Hour Pest Control Sydney removes active infestations and seals entry points so rats and mice cannot return to your Richmond Lowlands property.
The team first locates nests, droppings and gnaw marks, then uses baits and traps suited to the species and the site. Follow-up visits confirm the colony is gone and check for new signs.
The problem
Rats and mice leave greasy rub marks along walls, small dark droppings near food sources, and gnawed packaging or baseboards. You may also hear scratching inside ceilings or walls at night. A single sighting during the day often means the colony is large and competing for space.
Rats and mice squeeze through gaps as small as a coin. Check around pipes, under doors, and where cables enter the building.
What to expect
The technician begins with a thorough inspection to identify species, nest locations and entry points. Treatment is tailored to the findings and the property layout.

Baits and traps are placed at strategic points. Non-toxic options are used where children or pets are present.
Gaps around pipes, vents and doors are sealed with rodent-proof materials to stop new rodents from entering.
A return visit checks that all activity has ceased and that proofing remains intact.
Targeting the specific species and the unique layout of your Richmond Lowlands property produces faster, longer-lasting results.
Different rodents respond to different attractants. The technician selects the formulation that the infesting species cannot resist.
Baits and traps are positioned out of sight in roof voids, subfloors and behind appliances where rodents travel.

Dropping size is the clearest clue. Rat droppings are about the size of a large olive, while mouse droppings are closer to a grain of rice. Rats also leave larger gnaw marks and greasier rub marks along walls.
Baits are placed inside locked stations or in areas inaccessible to pets. The technician will discuss pet-safe options and placement locations with you before starting work.
Most colonies are eliminated within a week. The technician will schedule a follow-up inspection to confirm the property is clear and to check that proofing is holding.
Remove food sources by storing all food in sealed containers and clearing clutter from floors and benches. This makes the baits more attractive and the inspection more effective.
A small number of sightings in the first few days can be normal as rodents are flushed out. If activity continues beyond the follow-up period, the technician will return to reassess and retreat if necessary.
