The Hidden Dangers of a Rodent Infestation in Your Home
Rodent infestation is more than an inconvenience; it poses serious health and safety hazards. Rats and mice can carry diseases such as leptospirosis and salmonella. Their droppings can also contaminate food and surfaces. Their persistent gnawing can damage electrical wiring, increasing the risk of fires. Rodents also host fleas and mites, further aggravating the hygiene situation. If allowed to progress unchecked, their rapid breeding will transform a minor problem into a full-blown infestation.

Common Types of Rats And Rodents in Sydney
Sydney is home to various rodent species, both native and introduced. Each has distinct characteristics and behaviours. Understanding these common species can aid in effective identification and management.
Brown Rat
(Rattus norvegicus)
The Norway rat has a heavy-set body of 20–40 cm long and weighs 500 grams. Its fur is coarse, typically brown or reddish-brown. The rat has a blunt nose and small ears. Their tail is short, and their head and body combined are larger.
Brown rats are commonly found in urban areas. They inhabit sewers, basements, and building foundations. They are burrowers, often creating extensive tunnel systems outdoors and entering buildings for food.
They are nocturnal and omnivorous, consuming various foods, including grains, meats, and garbage. They are prolific breeders, with females producing multiple litters yearly, each containing 8–10 offspring.
Black Rat
(Rattus rattus)
Also known as the roof rat, it is more slender than the brown rat, measuring 16–25 cm long and weighing 200 grams. Its colouration ranges from black to light brown, with a pointed nose, large ears, and a tail longer than its body.
Excellent climbers, black rats prefer elevated nesting sites such as roof spaces, wall cavities, and upper parts of buildings. They are prevalent in coastal towns and urban environments.
Omnivorous but with a preference for fruits and vegetables, they are less inclined to burrow than brown rats. Females can have up to five litters per year, each with 6–8 young.
House Mouse
(Mus musculus)
Small rodents with a body length of 7.5–10 cm and a 12–30 grams weight. They have light brown to grey fur, large ears, and a tail approximately equal in length to their body.
House mice are highly adaptable and can be found in urban and rural settings. They nest in wall cavities, storage areas, and other sheltered locations within buildings.
Omnivorous, they prefer grains and cereals. Known for their rapid breeding, females can produce up to 10 litters annually, each containing 5–6 young.
Bush Rat
(Rattus fuscipes)
The bush rat is a native Australian rodent with a body length of 16–21 cm and a weight of 120–185 grams. It has soft grey-brown fur, a rounded face, and a tail shorter than its body.
Typically found in forests, woodlands, and heathlands, they prefer dense undergrowth and are less commonly encountered in urban areas.
They are primarily nocturnal and omnivorous, and their diet includes seeds, fruits, insects, and fungi. They breed seasonally, with females producing multiple litters during the warmer months.
Swamp Rat
(Rattus lutreolus)
This native species has a stout body measuring 12–20 cm long and weighing 90–240 grams. Its fur is dark grey to brown. It has a short tail and small eyes and ears.
Inhabits wetlands, grasslands, and coastal areas with dense vegetation. They construct runways through the grass and build nests from plant material.
Primarily herbivorous, feeding on grasses and sedges but consuming insects. Breeding occurs mainly in spring and summer, with litters of 3–5 young.
Signs of Rodent Infestation in the House
- Droppings & Urine Trails – Small, dark droppings and urine stains near the food storage and cupboards along the skirting boards
- Weird Noises – Scratching and scurrying sounds or squeaking coming from the walls, ceiling, or under the floors, mostly at night
- Gnawed Items & Electrical Damage – Chewed furniture, food packages, and exposed wiring that increase the risk of electrical fires
- Bad Smells – A very strong, musty odour from the urine, droppings, or even rotting bodies of rodents hidden in walls or crawl spaces
- Grease Marks & Smudge Trails – Dark, greasy streaks running along walls or baseboards from rodents moving their fur-marked bodies against the surfaces
- Burrows & Nesting Materials – Shredded paper, fabric, or insulation in hidden corners, cupboards, or roof spaces
- Pet Behavior Changes – Dogs or cats show strange interest in some areas where the rodents might hide.
