Scratching in the ceiling, droppings behind the skirting: rats and mice rarely announce themselves until they have already moved in. NEXTGEN Pest Control handles rodent control across Sydney’s Northern Beaches and North Shore, with same-day and emergency bookings and a free quote on 1300 454 418. Owner-operator Anthony Fryer attends every job himself, so the licensed technician who inspects your roof void sets the bait and comes back to check it. Caught early, a rat problem is a baiting job, not a bill for chewed wiring.
Getting rats and mice out, and keeping them out
Rats and mice come for food, water and a warm place to nest, and getting rid of them means finding how they get in, not just dropping bait and hoping. Anthony inspects the roof void, subfloor, wall cavities and exterior, tracks the runs and entry points, and builds the treatment around what he finds.
A rodent job with NEXTGEN usually covers:
- A full inspection to locate nests, runs, droppings and the gaps rodents use to get in
- A baiting programme using BASF Selontra, a soft bait Anthony is certified to install, set in tamper-resistant stations
- Proofing and exclusion: sealing entry points, gaps around pipes and vents, and the openings rodents gnaw to get back in
- Follow-up visits to check the bait, confirm the activity has stopped, and adjust if anything is still moving
Proofing is the part most do-it-yourself attempts skip, and it is why rats keep coming back. A mouse fits through a gap the width of a pencil and a rat through one not much bigger, so sealing the building is what turns a one-off treatment into lasting control.
Selontra sits in secured stations kept away from children and pets, and Anthony manages placement to protect native wildlife near the Northern Beaches reserves. Every product is APVMA-registered and used to its label. He covers the Northern Beaches and North Shore Monday to Saturday, 6am to 6pm, with same-day and emergency bookings.

Rodent control for cafes, restaurants and food premises
For a cafe, restaurant or food-storage business, a single rat sighting is a health risk, a reputation risk, and grounds for an inspector to close a kitchen. NEXTGEN runs discreet rodent programmes as part of its commercial pest control work: secured bait stations around the building, regular monitoring, and a written record for your food-safety paperwork. Anthony works around trading hours and treats the source, not the sighting, so it does not return the next week.

NEXTGEN on the Northern Beaches
NEXTGEN Pest Control is a family-run business Anthony Fryer has run from Cromer since 2023, covering the Northern Beaches and North Shore. He quotes every job, treats it, and comes back if the rodents do. Where a home has other pests alongside the rodents, he handles them in the same visit under residential pest control.
Anthony holds NSW EPA Pest Management Technician Licence No. 5115417, issued in 2020 and valid to August 2028, which also carries a Timber Pest Control endorsement. You can confirm it yourself on the NSW EPA public register. He holds a Certificate III in Urban Pest Management, is BASF-accredited across Termidor, Trelona, Seclira and Selontra, and is fully insured with public and products liability cover. It is why NEXTGEN holds a 5.0-star rating across 72 Google reviews: honest advice, thorough work, and the same person on the phone and on the tools.

What happens when you book
Sorting a rodent problem with NEXTGEN is straightforward. Call 1300 454 418, book online, or send a quick quote request, and most people hear back the same day. Anthony inspects the property, works out how far the rodents have spread, and gives a clear quote with the treatment explained before anything starts. He then carries out the baiting and proofing, walks you through each step, and follows up with advice on keeping rodents out.
Book your rodent inspection
A rat or mouse problem does not fix itself, and the gap that let them in stays open until it is sealed. Anthony will inspect the property, set the right baiting programme, and show you exactly where the rodents are getting in, with a free quote and no obligation. Same-day and emergency bookings run Monday to Saturday, 6am to 6pm, on 1300 454 418. Ask about the 10% referral discount when you send a neighbour our way, and the Year-Round Home Protection Plan if you would rather keep the roof and subfloor clear all year than handle one outbreak at a time.
