Inspect the activity and access routes
We assess where the activity is happening and look for physical signs that point to entry routes, nesting areas, and travel paths.
If you have rats or mice getting inside, scratching noises, droppings, or gnaw marks, 24 Hour Pest Control Sydney can help you identify where they are entering and how to stop them returning across NSW.
Rodents usually keep coming back because the entry route and food sources were missed. We focus on what’s actually driving the activity in and around your property, then recommend the right next steps.
When rodents move in, the signs are obvious
Rodent control is about more than removal, you need to understand where the activity is coming from and reduce the conditions that let rodents stay. 24 Hour Pest Control Sydney checks for visible and hidden access points, then follows a targeted approach to help reduce ongoing activity.
You may see fresh droppings in cupboards, near skirting boards, or along paths between food and hiding spots. Gnaw marks on boxes, pantry items, electrical areas, or door frames are another common clue, along with smudge marks where rodents rub surfaces.

Common signs include droppings near cupboards, skirting boards, or along travel paths, plus gnaw marks on boxes, pantry items, or other surfaces. You might also notice smears or rub marks on walls and door frames where rodents repeatedly travel.
Rodents can squeeze through small gaps around pipes, vents, and wall edges, or through openings around doors and utility areas. If you have activity indoors, it’s a clue that there is a concealed access route nearby.
Take note of where you see signs, such as droppings or gnaw marks, and keep children and pets away from the affected areas. If possible, avoid disturbing evidence so the inspection can be more accurate.
Prevention usually involves reducing food and shelter options, including proper rubbish storage and regular cleaning around suspected hotspots. Following the property-specific advice you receive helps make the environment less suitable for rodents.
Rodent activity can be persistent when access routes are still present or when attractants remain. If you notice continued signs, contact 24 Hour Pest Control Sydney so the findings can be reassessed and next steps planned.
