Mice Control in Sydney
Mice are common across Sydney, and the known threat of mouse plagues in NSW means these creatures must be taken seriously. Invading kitchens, pantries and wall cavities in search of food and shelter, they breed at an incredible rate, contaminate food supplies and leave behind droppings that put your health, home or business at risk.
At Hills Guardian Pest Control, we specialise in mice pest control that targets infestations at the source and helps prevent repeat outbreaks. Our licensed technicians use safe, effective, tailored treatments, placing bait stations strategically and identifying entry points to banish mice from your property.
Understanding Mice & Their Behaviours
Typically grey or light brown with a pointed snout and large ears, the Sydney house mouse is a common household pest. Often active at night, their ability to live close to humans, but remain unseen, makes them a frustrating and unhygienic problem.
Their persistence is because of their tenacious traits and abilities, including:
- Early breeders – mice can reproduce from six weeks of age, and will continue to have litters throughout their lives.
- Constant breeders – a single mouse can have up to sixty babies a year, with new litters every three weeks.
- Endless chewers – mice gnaw on wires, skirting boards, furniture and food packaging, partly because they are looking for food and partly to wear down their teeth, which never stop growing.
- Sneaky invaders – able to squeeze through holes the size of a five-cent coin, mice hide in kitchens and other tight spaces.
- Social creatures – mice live in colonies, with up to two dozen mice in a nest at a time.
- Adaptable survivors – thriving in Sydney homes, warehouses and any premises with a kitchen, mice use scent trails and sharp senses to find food and dodge danger.
- Fast runners – a mouse can move at speeds of up to 13 kilometres per hour, making them a challenge to spot or contain.
- Tough and agile – mice can run along thin wires and branches, jump a foot in the air and survive falls of up to four metres.
Worried About Mice at Your Home or Business?
Dangers of a Mouse Problem
Mice in your home are more than a nuisance because they put your family, pets, and property at risk. For businesses like restaurants, schools, and healthcare facilities, the presence of mice can quickly lead to compliance issues, customer complaints, and costly repairs.
A mouse infestation grows fast and is rarely solved without professional mice pest control. If left untreated, these are some of the problems that mice cause:
Health Issues
House mice are known carriers of bacteria and diseases, including Salmonella and Leptospirosis. They leave behind unhygienic droppings, urine and hair, and their presence can trigger allergies.
Food Contamination & Loss
As relentless food scavengers, mice nest close to your kitchen and their food source. They destroy cardboard boxes and packaging to reach cereals, grains and other items in your pantry, leading to spoiled food and costly wastage.
Problems for Pets
Mice spread parasitic diseases, which can affect your pets. And, if your dog or cat eats a mouse that has been poisoned, they can become seriously ill.
Compliance Failures
For businesses, especially in hospitality or healthcare, even a single mouse sighting can lead to lost customers and the threat of a non-compliance fine.
Protect Your Health and Property From Mice
Spot the Signs of a Mouse Problem
Mice are sneaky, mostly nocturnal pests that move very quickly and prefer to stay close to kitchens, pantries and wall cavities, making them hard to spot.
The signs of mice in your home include:
Small, dark droppings – along your walls, inside pantries or near food storage areas (mouse droppings are smaller than rat droppings; usually less than half a centimetre).
Chewed food packaging – cardboard or plastic containers in cupboards and pantries.
Nest sightings – made from shredded paper, fabric, or insulation hidden in cupboards or wall cavities.
A musty smell – from mouse urine and droppings in concealed spaces.
Whining pets – that fixate on areas where mice may be active.
Professional mice pest control can confirm your suspicions of an active mouse population in your home or at your business.

A comprehensive process will ensure mice are eliminated and stay gone from your home or business. After treating hundreds of properties around Sydney, these are the steps we have found deliver the best results:

Once the pest control plan is agreed, our licensed technicians will apply proven treatments that are recommended because they are safe and effective.
Step Four: Mouse Prevention
We’ll advise you on the best prevention strategies, such as sealing gaps around your home or business and maintaining external bait stations to reduce the risk of reinfestation.

Mice Pest Control FAQs
How Much is Pest Control for Mice?
The average cost of pest control for mice depends on the level of infestation and the size of the property. We provide tailored solutions designed to eliminate mice quickly and prevent them from returning, offering excellent long-term value.
Do I Need a Professional Exterminator for Mice in My House?
Yes. DIY traps or consumer-based rodenticides rarely solve the problem because mice breed incredibly quickly and often nest in hidden areas like wall cavities or under kitchen kickboards.
A licensed exterminator for mice and rats, such as Hills Guardian, ensures the infestation is treated thoroughly, safely and permanently. We employ mice pest management methods that are far more effective and long-lasting than DIY alternatives.
Should I Put Poison Out To Treat My Mouse Problem?
It’s not recommended. While it may kill some of the colony, it also creates risks for pets, children and native wildlife through accidental or secondary poisoning. Dead mice can also end up in walls or roof spaces, causing bad smells and attracting other pests.
Professional pest control technicians use secure bait stations and integrated methods that are safer, targeted and far more effective than off-the-shelf treatments.
Will Mice Return After Treatment?
Without prevention, mice can return. That’s why we include follow-up checks, monitoring stations under sinks and cupboards and leaving extra bait stations to give you long-term protection against reinfestation.
What Are The Best Steps to Prevent Mice From Invading My Home or Business?
The following will help you protect your property and deter mice from invading:
- Seal entry points by blocking gaps around doors, windows, pipes and vents.
- Store food securely in thick containers and clean up crumbs.
- Reduce clutter in your pantry or anywhere else that food is stored.
- Store firewood a good distance from your house.
- Fix leaks so mice don’t have a constant water source.
- Check your bin lids for cracks or entry points.
- Keep your garden well-maintained.
- Book regular inspections and treatment from a professional team.
