What we do

How 24 Hour Pest Control Sydney handles rodent problems in Summer Hill

Rodents spread quickly once they enter a building. They contaminate food, damage wiring and insulation, and can carry disease. 24 Hour Pest Control Sydney starts with a detailed inspection to find nests and entry points. Treatment uses targeted baits and traps placed where children and pets cannot reach them.

  • Full property inspection to locate nests and access points
  • Safe placement of baits and traps in hidden, secure locations
  • Sealing of gaps around pipes, vents and doors to block entry
  • Advice on food storage and waste management to reduce attractants
Rodent activity in Summer Hill homes

Look for droppings near food storage, gnaw marks on baseboards and rub marks along walls. Noises in ceilings or walls at night are another clear sign.

Our method

Step-by-step rodent control process

Each stage is designed to remove the current infestation and prevent rodents from returning.

1

Inspection

A technician checks the entire property for signs of rodents, including droppings, gnaw marks and nests. Entry points and food sources are identified.

2

Treatment

Baits and traps are placed in areas inaccessible to children and pets. These are monitored and replaced as needed until activity stops.

3

Proofing

Gaps around pipes, vents, doors and windows are sealed with rodent-proof materials to block re-entry.

4

Follow-up

A return visit confirms the infestation is gone. The technician also checks for new entry points and provides prevention advice.

Why this approach works

Targeted placement and proofing address both the current problem and the risk of future infestations.

✓

Precise bait placement

Baits are positioned where rodents travel, away from children and pets, to maximise effectiveness and safety.

✓

Entry point sealing

Steel wool, mesh and caulk are used to close gaps larger than 6mm that rodents can squeeze through.

✓

Sanitation advice

Recommendations on food storage, waste disposal and clutter reduction help remove attractants.

Where rodents enter

Rodents exploit small gaps and poor sanitation to gain access and thrive inside buildings.

  • Gaps around utility pipes and cables entering the building
  • Vents and exhaust fans without protective mesh
  • Poorly sealed doors and windows with worn weather stripping
  • Unsecured food waste and compost bins near the property

What is covered

The service addresses all aspects of an active rodent problem and the measures needed to keep them out.

  • Inspection of interior and exterior areas for rodent activity
  • Placement and monitoring of bait stations and traps
  • Sealing of identified entry points with rodent-proof materials
