Natural Rodent Control: DIY Tips That Work

A mice or rat infestation in Sydney homes can escalate fast. Fortunately, you can repel rodents with these natural remedies:

1. Garlic

Strong aroma mice hate. Sprinkle garlic powder in cracks and entry points.

2. Peppermint Oil

Soak cotton balls in peppermint oil and place them in hidden areas.

3. Eucalyptus Oil

Place eucalyptus-soaked cotton balls in cupboards, wardrobes, or under beds.

4. Citronella

Crush leaves or spray citronella around the home to deter rodents.

5. Ammonia

Mimics predator scent. Place ammonia-soaked cotton safely in attics or basements.

6. Pepper

Sprinkle near foundation cracks to irritate and deter mice.

7. White Vinegar

Clean infested areas or place vinegar-soaked cotton balls inside cabinets.

8. Pets

Cats or dogs can naturally deter rodents due to their predator scent.

Note: While DIY can help, severe infestations often require professional pest control in Sydney. Contact us for reliable rodent and mice removal services.

3. Assess Infestation Severity

Ongoing monitoring helps evaluate treatment success and forecast pest activity.

Ideal for indoor use in homes, schools, or small offices. These traps use adhesive surfaces-often with pheromones-to capture nuisance pests year-round.

Residential and home-friendly pest trapping.

Pheromone Traps

Designed to attract male insects by mimicking female mating scents. These traps are useful for monitoring insect reproduction cycles in both indoor and outdoor settings.

Light & Heat Traps (Berlese Funnels)

Pitfall Traps

Plastic containers installed flush with surfaces to trap crawling insects in gardens or storage spaces.

Rodent & Vertebrate Monitoring

Residential Rat & Mice Control

Rats and mice are elusive and often nocturnal, making them hard to detect. Our vertebrate monitoring traps are ideal for pinpointing rodent activity in Sydney homes.

Regularly empty garbage bins and clean pet food bowls.
Trim nearby shrubs and trees.

Professional Rodent Treatments

Best Cockroach Bait in Sydney: Indoxacarb Gel

Our experts recommend cockroach bait gels containing Indoxacarb. These products:

Kill cockroaches within 24 hours
Work against German, Oriental, and American cockroaches
Are 10x more palatable than generic baits

Where to Place Roach Baits

Inside cracks and floorboards
Around insulation and warm, moist areas

Results typically appear within 1–2 weeks. For severe infestations, contact us for a full cockroach treatment service.

Rat Infestations During COVID-19: A Wake-Up Call

The COVID lockdowns caused a major surge in rat infestations across Sydney. With many commercial spaces shut, rodents turned to residential areas for food and shelter. Reports show:

A 51% increase in rat sightings during lockdown
Expansion of rodent territories into homes and suburbs
Major infestations found in unexpected places like gyms and studios

Expert Insight

University of Sydney researchers confirm that increased at-home food waste and reduced business activity fuelled the rise in urban rat populations.

The Dangers of a Rat or Mice Infestation

Rats and mice are known to transmit dangerous diseases including:

Salmonella
Hantavirus
Leptospirosis
Rat-bite fever
Tapeworms
Typhus

They also damage electrical wiring, contaminate food, chew through plastic and timber, and leave foul-smelling droppings. Left unchecked, a small rodent problem can quickly escalate into a large infestation.

Common Signs of Rodent Activity

Think you might have a rat problem? Look for these tell-tale signs:

Gnaw marks on wood, wires, and food packaging
Rat droppings (dark, pellet-shaped)
Scratching noises in walls or ceilings
Nests made from shredded materials
Sightings of live or dead rodents

If you suspect a rodent infestation, contact our Sydney pest control team for a thorough inspection.

Rodent Prevention Tips

You can reduce the chances of a rodent infestation by:

Sealing all entry points and wall gaps
Storing food in airtight containers
Cleaning up crumbs and spills immediately
Keeping outdoor bins tightly sealed
Trimming tree branches near your roof

Rodents can squeeze through holes as small as 5cm-so it’s vital to block every possible entry.

Safe and Effective Rat Control Methods

We offer a full range of rodent control solutions in Sydney:

Non-Chemical Treatments

Snap traps
Glue boards
Tamper-resistant bait stations

Rodenticides

Pellet baits
Grain-based place packs
Contact dusts and powders
Liquid bait in secure baiting stations

Advanced Techniques

Rodent gel (with warfarin)
Pulse baiting for long-term control
Fumigation (only by licensed professionals for severe infestations)

All treatments are selected based on your specific situation and are safe for homes with children or pets.

Types of Rodents in Sydney

Roof Rat (Black Rat)

Excellent climbers
Often found in ceilings or trees
Spread diseases like typhus and trichinosis

Norway Rat (Sewer Rat)

Larger in size
Typically nests in basements or under concrete slabs
Known to damage pipes and wiring

House Mouse

Small and sneaky
Frequently goes unnoticed until infestations grow
Can contaminate food and trigger allergies

Seasonal Rodent Risks in Sydney

Rodent activity spikes during winter as rats seek warmth inside homes. Bathrooms, attics, and roof spaces are common nesting sites. Post-COVID lockdowns have also driven rats away from commercial waste bins into suburban homes.

DIY Rodent Control Tips (Natural & Affordable)

While professional treatment is most effective, here are natural remedies that may help:

Use peppermint oil or vinegar-soaked cotton balls in rodent-prone areas
Sprinkle garlic powder or paprika around entry points
Install screen doors and seal wall cavities with steel wool
Keep your home clean and food sealed
Adopt a cat-nature’s rodent deterrent!

For persistent problems, contact our licensed pest controllers.

Bird Pest Control Sydney – Safe & Effective Solutions

Masters Pest Control Sydney provides humane and cost-effective bird pest control solutions for residential and commercial properties across Sydney. Whether it’s pigeons, magpies, or feral birds causing trouble, we tailor a bird management strategy to protect your property without harming wildlife.

Call (02) 8007 4666 today to schedule a site inspection with Sydney’s leading bird control experts.

Why Bird Control Is Essential in Sydney

Birds can become serious pests when they nest, roost, or feed around your property. While many bird species are harmless or even beneficial, some can cause:

Roof damage by dislodging tiles
Blocked gutters and ventilation systems
Acidic droppings that corrode surfaces
Unpleasant odours from dead birds inside walls
Contamination of food and workspaces
Aggressive behavior during nesting season

Left unchecked, bird infestations can lead to health risks, safety hazards, and expensive repairs-especially in commercial or food-handling environments.

Common Pest Bird Species in Sydney

Pigeons
Magpies
Feral birds (e.g., Indian Mynas, Starlings)

These birds often seek shelter in buildings, nesting in roofs, eaves, and wall cavities, where they spread parasites like fleas, lice, ticks, and bird mites.

Health Risks from Bird Infestations

Birds are known carriers of serious diseases including:

Salmonella (food poisoning)
Toxoplasmosis
SARS
Meningitis
Encephalitis

Their droppings and nesting materials can also trigger respiratory issues and harbour harmful bacteria and fungi.

Our Bird Control Process

At Masters Pest Control Sydney, we follow a proven, humane approach to manage pest bird activity.

1. Thorough Site Inspection

We inspect your property to identify the bird species, nesting zones, and entry points.

2. Tailored Bird Management Plan

Based on your specific infestation, we recommend a custom solution which may include:

Bird spikes
Bird netting or screening
Electric shock tracks (harmless deterrent)
Ultrasonic bird repellers (silent to humans and pets)
Habitat modification (removal of food and water sources)

3. Safe Dropping & Nest Removal

We remove bird droppings, nests, and feathers safely using protective equipment and disposal protocols to avoid contamination.

4. Long-Term Bird Proofing

We install exclusion devices to prevent birds from returning. These include roof sealing, vent covers, and mesh barriers.

Bird-Proof Your Sydney Property Today

Our buildings offer birds everything they need-food, warmth, and shelter-but this often results in damage, mess, and health issues for you. Masters Pest Control Sydney offers guaranteed bird-proofing services to keep your home or business bird-free, including:

Our Natural Flea Control Process

We assess your pets’ condition and advise whether they may need veterinary flea treatment.

2. Organic Treatment Application

We treat affected areas with natural, pet-safe flea control products.
We remove flea eggs, larvae, and adult fleas from carpets, pet bedding, and furniture.

3. Prevention & Monitoring

We advise you on how to reduce breeding grounds and eliminate flea hotspots.
Recommendations include washing pet bedding, vacuuming frequently, and ongoing pest monitoring.

Why You Need to Act Fast Against Fleas

Fleas aren’t just a nuisance-they’re a serious health risk for both pets and people.

Fleas can cause:

Skin irritation and allergic reactions
Tapeworm transmission (to cats, dogs, and humans)

Diseases such as flea-borne typhus, bartonellosis, and even the plague (in rare cases)

Common Signs of a Flea Infestation

Pets scratching excessively
Tiny, dark fleas visible on pet fur or bedding
Small bites on ankles or lower legs
Flea dirt (tiny black specks) on carpets, sofas, or bedding

If you notice any of these signs, contact our Sydney-based flea control experts immediately.

Where Fleas Hide in Your Home

Fleas can easily spread through your home via pets or infested furniture. They commonly hide in:

Carpets and rugs
Bedding and soft furnishings
Cracks in flooring
Your pet’s sleeping areas

Tip: Regularly wash bedding, vacuum thoroughly, and groom your pets to help prevent future outbreaks.

Our licensed team inspects your property, identifies pest problems, and applies safe, targeted treatments—backed by years of professional experience.

Our 5-Step Natural Pest Control Process

We’ve developed a proven system to eliminate pests naturally while keeping your property safe and healthy.

1. Remove Water Sources

Pests like cockroaches and rats are attracted to water. We’ll help identify areas where water collects-under sinks, behind fridges, and around leaking pipes-and recommend ways to eliminate those sources.

2. Declutter Your Space

Unnecessary clutter provides pests with shelter. Clear out cardboard boxes, old magazines, and unused items. Store food in sealed containers and elevate items off the floor and away from walls.

3. Maintain a Clean Environment

Keep your kitchen, bathroom, and dining areas clean. Regularly vacuum, mop, and wipe surfaces-especially behind appliances. Empty bins nightly, cover drains, and don’t leave pet food out overnight.

4. Seal Entry Points

We inspect your property and recommend sealing off common entryways using caulk, cement, or weather stripping-especially where pipes or wires enter the home.

5. Install Natural Pest Baits

If pests persist, we use natural baits and traps that are non-toxic but effective. These are strategically placed to reduce insect populations without chemical exposure.

Why Natural Pest Control Is Better for the Environment

Chemical-based pest control can harm your garden, soil, and local wildlife. Our natural solutions ensure your property remains pest-free without damaging the environment or leaving toxic residues behind.

Call (02) 8007 4666 or send us a message to book now.

What is Electric Pest Control?

Electric pest control involves the use of electronic devices—like ultrasonic and electromagnetic repellents—to target specific pests. This method helps:

Minimise chemical use
Maintain a safe environment for kids and pets
Deliver long-term pest deterrence when installed by professionals

Common devices include:

Electronic Fly Killers (UV light attracts and zaps insects)
Ultrasonic Repellents (emit high-frequency sound to deter pests)
Electromagnetic Devices (disrupt pest habitats inside walls)

Our licensed technicians can install and position these devices in high-risk pest areas around your home or business for maximum effectiveness.

Is Electric Pest Control Right for You?

Electric pest control is ideal for:

Minor to moderate pest problems
Homes with children or pets
Customers looking for pesticide-free solutions

However, electric devices may not be effective against large-scale infestations. Ultrasonic waves don’t penetrate walls or furniture, and some pests-especially rodents-may grow accustomed to these frequencies over time.

If you’re unsure whether electric pest control is right for your property, call our expert team on (02) 8007 4666 for a personalised recommendation.

Professional Mosquito Pest Control in Sydney

Are mosquitoes making it impossible to enjoy your outdoor spaces? Masters Pest Control Sydney provides safe, effective, and affordable mosquito control solutions across the Sydney region. Protect your family from annoying bites and mosquito-borne diseases today.

Why Mosquitoes Are a Serious Pest Problem

Mosquitoes (Culicidae) are more than just a nuisance. These tiny insects are among the deadliest creatures in the world due to their ability to transmit life-threatening diseases, including:

Malaria
Dengue Fever
West Nile Virus
Ross River Virus
Yellow Fever
Dog Heartworm

Common Mosquito Species in Australia

Australia is home to several mosquito species-some of which pose serious health risks. Here are the most common and dangerous species found across Sydney and other parts of the country:

Anopheles farauti

Found in northern Australia
Active at night, especially after sunset

Urban-dwelling mosquitoes
Bite during the day, indoors or in shaded areas

Mosquito Life Cycle and Reproduction

Understanding the mosquito breeding cycle can help you prevent infestations:

Female mosquitoes lay eggs in stagnant or standing water.
Eggs hatch into larvae, which feed on organic matter or even other mosquito larvae.
After developing into pupae, they transform into adults and emerge at the water’s surface.

Note: Some species can lay over 100 eggs at a time!

Differences Between Male and Female Mosquitoes

Knowing how to differentiate them can be useful:

Feature	Male	Female
Feeding	Nectar and plant sugars	Blood (for egg production)
Antennae	Large and feathery	Slim and smooth
Proboscis	Less developed	Stronger, used to pierce skin
Size	Smaller	Larger

When Are Mosquitoes Most Active?

Peak biting times: dusk and dawn
Most active in shaded, moist areas
Avoid direct sunlight and extreme heat

How to Protect Your Family from Mosquitoes

Here are proven methods to reduce mosquito bites and prevent infestations:

Avoid high-risk areas (wetlands, stagnant water) during dawn and dusk
Wear long-sleeved shirts and pants when outdoors
Use mosquito repellents (creams, lotions, sprays)
Use physical barriers like mosquito nets and window screens
Eliminate standing water near your property (gutters, plant pots, water tanks)
Install mesh screens on doors, windows, and ventilation points

To be successful in the former, you should know that a lot of research and planning is required. Before proceeding with your plan, you should be completely certain about what you are dealing with. You should also be perfectly capable of executing your plan from start to finish.

Signs you have termites

Are you noticing things around your home? …little white ants? …noises in the wall, perhaps? Your home may have termites! No need to worry though, Master Pest Control Sydney offers termite control Sydney-wide. Our team are just one call away. With experience servicing commercial and residential properties all around the Sydney metropolitan area, we are the best people for the task. There are five typical signs that your home or business may contain terrible termites in its cracks and crevices.

1. The Swarm

Termites can either crawl or fly. When they fly, they will swarm. This usually happens around warmer weather as it is the prime climate for the termites to begin their mating season. Once they are developed, they rise from the group and congregate in the sky, travelling to your house! If you see a swarm in your general area, please contact Masters Pest Control Sydney immediately.

2. Mud Tunnels

When termites infest your property, they will create mud tunnels. These tunnels are small tubes that are constructed on the inside and outside of your walls. The devious beasts use this to protect themselves from humans and keep warm. To see if the tunnel is active, just cut open the middle of it – if it is repaired within days, you need to call Masters Pest Control Sydney immediately.

3. Noises in the walls

Lucky for you, termites don’t mind being noisy intruders. They will literally hit their heads on the walls of your home when they hear you coming. This is to warn the rest of the colony you’re home. If you have enough visitors, you will be able to hear the buzzing noises. Masters Pest Control Sydney are happy to come and exterminate your noisy roommates.

4. White Ants

Perhaps you have seen interesting looking little white ants around your home? Truth be told, there is no such thing as a white ant – THESE ARE TERMITES! Call Masters Pest Control Sydney, and our professional exterminators will come and clear the white ants out.

5. Hollow Sounding Wood

If you have suspicions about termites in the wall, try knocking on the wall. If your wall sounds a little extra hollow – this may mean that termites have eaten through it. Termites love to chomp and feed off the material your home is made from. Call Masters Pest Control Sydney, and we will come and put a stop to their expensive appetite.

Pests that Bite and Annoy

Mosquitoes (Latin Culicadae) belong to the same group as the flies. The word mosquito comes from the Spanish word which means “little fly.“ They even look like flies, with a single pair of wings and long, thin legs. An adult size mosquito ranges from 3 mm to 9 mm in size.

Mosquitoes are able to transmit disease from host to host, which makes them one of the deadliest animals in the world. They can transmit deadly diseases such as malaria, west Nile virus, dengue fever, yellow fever, and other arboviruses.

Mosquitoes in Australia

There are many mosquito species found in Australia. Some of these species can pose a threat to our health. It’s important to learn more about common mosquito species found in Australia that you need to watch out for.

Anophelus farauti can often be found in Northern Australia. They have a long and thin medium-sized body, and are active at night. Their biting peak happens in the first two hours after sunset. This mosquito species is usually found near water habitats and can, unfortunately, carry diseases such as malaria.
Aedes aegypti is small to medium-sized. They mainly live in urban environments and stay near water containers such as rainwater tanks, roof guttering, potted plant catch-plates, etc. They mostly bite humans during the day in shaded or indoor locations. This species is the only Australian mainland species that can carry dengue. This species can be found all over Australia.
Aedes notoscriptus has a small to medium size body. They have a silver to golden pattern. They usually bite during the afternoon and around twilight. They are one of the most common mosquito species in urban areas and also considered as as one of the most dangerous. These mosquitoes can transmit arboviruses, like dog heartworm and Ross River virus.
Aedes procax are brownish mosquitoes with a small to medium size bodies with banded legs. They usually live around freshwater and mildly brackish water. They are known for transmitting arboviruses in coastal New South Wales and Queensland.
Aedes vigilax are medium-sized mosquitoes with dark body and banded legs. They bite during the day in shaded areas, but are also active in the mornings and evenings. They are found in coastal estuarine wetlands. Their population rises during high tides and rainy season. They are also known for transmitting arboviruses.
Aedes camptoryhnchus are large mosquitoes that live in salty and brackish wetlands in Southern Coast of New South Wales, around Murray River in Victoria, South Australia and South-West Western Australian coasts.
Coquillettidia linealis are dark medium-sized mosquitoes with gold scales on top of the chest. They are usually located near freshwater wetlands that have many semi-aquatic plants. They transmit arboviruses.
Mansonia uniformis are brown mosquitoes with medium-sized body. They bite during the day. They don’t transmit arboviruses.
Culex annulirostris are medium-sized mosquitoes that mostly bite in the first two hours after sunset. This type can be found in coastal regions and in inland Australia. They are known to transmit arboviruses.
Culex quinquefasciatus are medium-sized mosquitoes with light brown colour. They usually bite at night.

General Information About Mosquitoes
Female mosquitoes are ectoparasites and they use their mouth tube, that is called proboscis to make a hole in the host’s skin through which they drain blood. It helps them to produce their eggs.

Mosquitoes that are still in their immature stages live in standing water. The larvae can feed on all kinds of materials, but mostly eat small aquatic organisms and organic flotsam. Some species will even eat other mosquitoes.

Adults are most active from dusk until dawn, but they can also work in dark shady places. They don’t like the sun and intense heat.

Mosquitoes feed on the blood of various kinds of hosts, especially mammals, birds and amphibians. They usually attack vertebrates, but some mosquitoes also attack invertebrates such as arthropods.

Mosquito Reproduction Cycle

Male mosquitoes have feathery antennae on top of their head which they use to locate females. After mating, females usually go out to feed and search for blood. The females will eventually lay their eggs in standing or stagnant water.

Some species can produce over 100 eggs at a time. Mosquito larvae feed until they are ready to advance into pupae stage. Adults emerge from pupae onto the water surface where their exoskeleton gets harder and stronger over time.

Difference Between Male and Female Mosquitoes

Most of the differences are visible only under magnifying glass or microscope but some can be seen without any tools. Male and female differences include:

Males feed off plant nectar and other sugars, while females feed on blood.
Females have proboscis that extend out from the mouth area while males have bushy ones
Males antennas are very feathery and large, while female antennas are smoother and less feathery
Male mosquitoes are much smaller and live shorter than females.

How can you protect yourself from mosquitoes?

Mosquito bites can be prevented in a number of different ways. Here are some best practices when it comes to dealing with mosquitoes:

Avoiding areas where mosquitoes congregate. Mosquitoes are mostly active during dawn and dusk near stagnant water.
When you’re outdoors, use bed nets or wear protective clothing to act as a physical barrier. Long sleeved shirts and long pants will protect during outdoors activities.
Use mosquito repellents like creams, lotions and gels. You can also use products like coils, sticks and burner devices.
Prevent mosquitoes from entering your home by installing mesh screens on all doors and windows. Air conditioning ducts, ventilation structures and other entry points between indoor and outdoor areas should also be covered.
