OWNED & OPERATED BY AFFORDABLE PEST CONTROL
Rats and mice in the roof, walls or shed? We find how they’re getting in and control them with locked, tamper-resistant bait stations.
Trusted across 81 hospital and health sites in the Illawarra and southern NSW.
Quality-managed systems, documented treatments and proper reporting.
A bigger, fully licensed team means faster bookings and follow-ups.
Run by Affordable Pest Control, serving the Highlands, Shoalhaven and Illawarra.
Cold Highlands nights push rodents into roofs, walls and sheds, and they breed fast once inside.
Rodents chew wiring, pipes and insulation in roofs and walls.
Droppings and urine contaminate food and stored items.
Scratching in the roof or walls keeps people awake.
A couple of mice can quickly become a bigger problem.
We find out where they’re getting in and where they’re active, then set locked bait stations and show you how to cut off food and shelter.
Roof voids, wall cavities, garages and kitchens.

Common in: food businessesRats and mice leave different clues, and they’re treated a little differently. Here’s how to tell them apart.
| Sign | Mice | Rats |
|---|---|---|
| Droppings | Small, like grains of rice, scattered around | Larger, like a jellybean, often in groups |
| Size | Small body that fits in your palm | Much bigger, with a long, thick tail |
| Noise | Light, quick scratching | Heavier thumping and gnawing |
| Where | Kitchens, pantries, wall cavities | Roof voids, subfloors, sheds and gardens |
| Gaps they fit through | About the width of a pencil | About the width of your thumb |
Not sure which one you’ve got? Take a photo of the droppings or any damage and send it with your quote request. We’ll tell you what you’re dealing with.
Real photos from real jobs. Most rodent problems start in the roof, so that’s where we start too.
We get up into the roof void, where rats and mice nest.
Droppings along beams show the runways they use.
The droppings tell us if it’s rats or mice, and how many.
Locked stations go where they’re most active.
Locked stations around the home catch them before they get in.
Every bait station we install is numbered and logged in our app, on every site. Each visit is recorded, so you can see activity and trends over time.
We offer a range of rodent bait types, chosen to suit your property and the level of activity, in line with the latest Australian rules on rodenticides.
