Andy’s Pest Control is a family-owned and operated team that removes rats from roof and ceiling cavities across Blackheath and the Blue Mountains. We work with homeowners, businesses and industrial sites, and our licensed technicians treat the roof void where rats actually live.
Roof voids suit rats well. They are dark, dry, warm and quiet, so rats settle in, breed and start chewing through insulation, timber and wiring. That damage is hard to see from below, and droppings and urine in the cavity can contaminate the space above your living areas.
A few traps from the hardware shop rarely solve this. They catch the odd rat but don’t show you where the rats are getting in or where they are nesting. Our free inspection identifies the pest type, finds the nesting area and tells you what the job involves before you commit to anything.
If you hear scratching or scurrying overhead around dawn and dusk, rats are the likely cause. These are the other signs we check for during an inspection.
Rats are most active at dawn and dusk, so noises in the ceiling often start when the house is quiet.
Fresh droppings are dark and moist. Older ones turn dry and crumbly, which tells us how long rats have been active.
Look for chewed beams, insulation or wiring in the roof and ceiling cavity.
Piles of torn insulation, paper or fabric are a sign rats have settled in and are nesting.
We remove rats from your roof in a set order: inspect, find the entry points, treat, then seal and check back. Here is what happens on the day, so you know what to expect.
Free Inspection and Finding the Entry Points
Our licensed technician goes into your roof and ceiling cavity to confirm the pest type and find where the rats are nesting.
We use thermal imaging and detailed checks to locate the small gaps most homeowners miss. Droppings, rub marks and tracking tell us which routes the rats actually use, so we treat real activity rather than guesses.
Removing the Rats Safely
We place targeted baits or traps in tamper-resistant stations, positioned where the rats travel. This keeps children, pets and other animals away from them.
Our methods are chosen to protect your insulation and electrical wiring while we clear the cavity.
Removing the rats is only half the job. If the entry points stay open, they’ll find their way back, so we always treat both.

Sealing, Proofing and Follow-Up Checks
Once the rats are dealt with, we close the gaps we found so they can’t get back in. After sealing and proofing, we tidy up and leave your roof cavity in good order.
We then return for follow-up checks to confirm the activity has stopped. Results depend on the severity of the problem, which is why we don’t skip this step.
Rats get into Blackheath roofs through small gaps that are easy to miss from the ground. Here is what we see most often across Blackheath and the Blue Mountains.
Ageing roofs tend to have cracked tiles, loose ridge capping and gaps at the eaves and fascia. Rats only need a small opening, and these older rooflines have plenty.
We check each of these during the inspection, then repair or proof the gaps so the roof and ceiling cavity is closed off.
Properties backing onto bushland often have branches touching the roof, which gives rats an easy walkway in. Blocked gutters can also leave gaps and soft spots near the roofline.
We point out where branches need trimming and seal the openings near gutters, along with unprotected vents and pipe penetrations.
Cooler months push rats indoors across the Blue Mountains, so a roof that isn’t sealed can see repeat visitors. Removing the rats without closing the entry points leaves the door open for the next ones.
Our sealing and proofing work, plus follow-up checks, is how we reduce the chance of rats returning. We use the same approach for homes and businesses across Penrith and Sydney, backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Our Blackheath service starts from $100, and we use fixed-value pricing, so you know the figure before work begins. The final price depends on the size of the roof and how active the rats are, and we explain it after the free inspection.
No. There is a $0 call-out fee and the inspection is free, so you can find out what is happening in your roof and ceiling cavity without paying to ask.

It varies with how many rats are present and how easy your roof is to access. We will give you a realistic timeframe after the inspection, and follow-up checks are part of the job so we can confirm the problem has cleared.
If you are not happy with the result, we come back and make it right. Outcomes depend on the severity of the problem, which is why we pair removal with sealing and follow-up checks.
