Site inspection and sign mapping
The technician looks for droppings, gnaw marks, grease rubs, and the routes rodents take, then identifies likely entry points and hiding spots.
Rodents get inside through small gaps and then hide in roof spaces, wall cavities, sheds, and behind stored items. If you are seeing droppings, hearing scratching at night, or finding gnaw marks, 24 Hour Pest Control Sydney can inspect, treat, and help you close off the routes rodents use.
A good rodent job is not just baiting. It starts with finding how they are getting in, removing the conditions that keep them there, and treating where activity is actually happening.

Look for droppings along wall edges, behind appliances, or near skirting boards, as well as gnaw marks on stored food or packaging. Scratching sounds at night and a musty smell in enclosed areas can also be signs. A site inspection confirms where activity is concentrated.
Rodents commonly hide in roof spaces, wall cavities, under floors, and in areas with clutter or stored items. They also use gaps along skirting boards and around plumbing or cable entry points. Inspection helps identify these harbourage spots.
Follow the preparation guidance provided with your booking, especially around clearing access to likely sign areas such as cupboards, sheds, roof hatches, or void spaces you can safely reach. Removing clutter in reachable areas can help the inspection identify routes and harbourage.
You will be given after-visit instructions focused on reducing attractants and improving hygiene. This often includes keeping food sealed, managing waste properly, and limiting harbourage by reducing clutter near where signs were found.
Fresh signs can indicate the source of entry has not been fully addressed or that activity is shifting to another route or harbourage spot. The next step is to re-check entry points and the areas associated with activity so the approach can be refined.
