Effective solutions for lasting rodent control

Rats & Mice Pest Control Sydney

Rats and mice might seem small, but the problems they cause in Sydney homes and businesses can be huge. From gnawing electrical wires and damaging property to spreading dangerous diseases, rodents are a risk you can't ignore. At Ecovia, we specialise in rats and mice pest control Sydney homeowners and businesses can trust. Our licensed technicians use proven methods that target infestations at their source, keeping your property safe and rodent-free.

Why Rat and Mouse Control Matters

Rodents are more than a nuisance — they are one of Sydney's most destructive pests. Left untreated, infestations grow quickly and create serious issues:
Health risks: Rodents spread diseases such as leptospirosis, salmonella, and hantavirus through their droppings, urine, and bites. NSW Health warns that rat-borne diseases have been on the rise in parts of Sydney.
Property damage: Rats and mice constantly gnaw on wood, pipes, and electrical wiring. Chewed wiring is a major fire hazard.
Rapid breeding: A single pair of mice can produce dozens of offspring in just a few months, meaning a small problem can quickly become overwhelming.
Food contamination: Rodents invade kitchens, pantries, and food storage areas, leaving droppings and contaminating supplies.
Professional pest control for rats and mice ensures these risks are managed before they cause serious harm.

Common Rodents Found In Sydney

Sydney homes and businesses most often deal with three types of rodents:
Norway Rat (Brown Rat): Large and strong swimmers, often found in sewers, drains, and lower floors of buildings.
Roof Rat (Black Rat): Excellent climbers that nest in roof voids, ceilings, and high places.
House Mouse: Small but fast breeders, often nesting in cupboards, storage areas, and wall cavities.
Each species behaves differently, which is why tailored rats and mice pest control treatments are essential.

Signs You May Have A Rodent Problem

Not sure if you're dealing with rats or mice? Here are some common signs that it's time to call in professional rodent control Sydney services:

Droppings: Small black pellets (mice) or larger, blunt-ended droppings (rats).
Scratching noises: Especially at night in roof spaces, walls, or ceilings.
Gnaw marks: On food packaging, skirting boards, or wires.
Nests: Shredded paper, fabric, or insulation gathered in hidden spots.
Strong musky odour: A sign of heavy rodent activity.
Burrows or greasy smear marks: Rats often leave greasy rub marks along walls.
Spotting even one or two of these can indicate a bigger infestation hidden behind walls or in the roof.
