Waiheke Rodent Services

Waiheke Rodent Services Waiheke Rodent Services is your local, family-run pest control team. We keep homes rodent-free and protect Waiheke’s native habitants.

With expert treatments and ongoing care, we make your property safe and our island thrive. We offer a year round service to ensure rodents are not nesting in or eating your investment. Rats pose a significant health risk to humans and our pets. They carry diseases including Salmonella, E.coli and Tuberculosis. Rats also carry fleas, mites and ticks and can cause acute allergic reactions. It is vital to get rid of rats in the garden to reduce the risk of them entering your home, searching for food and shelter.

One thing we like to remind people on Waiheke — having rodents around doesn’t mean your place is messy or badly looked after.
Between bush, older houses, sheds, compost, and how close everything sits to nature, it’s just part of island living sometimes.
The important part is dealing with it properly and safely when it does come up.
If you want a quote or just want to talk through what’s happening at your place, give us a call.
We’re local, have been working on Waiheke since 2017, and in most cases can get things set up within 24 hours.

One of the things we hear a lot this time of year is:
“Everything looked fine… until we got home.”

After busy weeks of people coming and going, it’s often only once things slow down that small issues get noticed — strange noises at night, a smell in a cupboard, or signs in a shed.

If you want to talk it through or get a quote, call us today.
We’re local, professional, use safe practices, and in most cases can set things up within 24 hours.

Even though the weather isnt quite playing its part....Waiheke’s in peak summer mode right now — lots of people coming and going, holiday rentals turning over, and households running at full pace.

That’s also when rodent issues can pop up around kitchens, bins, storage areas, and under-house spaces — not because anyone’s doing anything wrong, just because there’s more activity.

If you want a quote or just want to talk through rodent control on your property, call us today.
We’re local, professional, and use safe practices, and in most cases we can set things up within 24 hours.

Island properties behave differently.

Bush edges, under-house spaces, older builds, sheds that aren’t sealed like city garages — all normal on Waiheke.
They don’t mean a problem. They just mean the approach has to be right for the place.

Rodent control here isn’t about blanket solutions.
It’s about understanding how each property actually works.

That’s the difference.

What works for rodent control in the city doesn’t always work on an island.

Different buildings.
Different wildlife.
Different expectations.

Waiheke needs its own approach — one that respects homes, bush, and the environment they sit in.

That’s how we work.

A new year feels like a good time to say what we don’t do.

We don’t use scare tactics.
We don’t over-treat properties.
We don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach.

Rodent control on Waiheke needs to be careful, local, and proportionate — because homes sit alongside bush, birds, and people who actually care where they live.

That’s how we work, and that’s not changing in 2026.

Happy New Year, everyone.

One of the biggest myths we hear in summer:
“If there were rodents, I’d notice.”

Most activity happens at night, in roof voids, under decks, or behind walls — long before damage becomes obvious.
By the time signs show up, the problem’s usually well established.

Good rodent control is preventative, not reactive.
That’s the difference.

Before you head out to ring in the New Year — or settle in for a long summer night — take a quick look around.
Bins secured, food packed away, doors and sheds closed.
Small habits make a big difference over summer, especially when homes are busier than usual.
A good reset now helps keep the year ahead pest-free and stress-free. 🌿
Happy New Year, Waiheke.

Wishing our Waiheke community a calm, safe Christmas. 🎄

Here’s to quiet homes, birdsong mornings, and a peaceful holiday season. 🌿

The lead-up to Christmas is busy — visitors, food, open doors, late nights.
It’s also a time when rodents quietly take advantage of the chaos.
A little prevention now helps protect homes, sheds, and the wildlife around them — without adding one more thing to your list. 🌿
Keeping Waiheke peaceful, even in the busiest season.

Over the past few weeks we’ve shared some of the wildlife that makes Waiheke special —
kererū, tūī, geckos, kororā, and other native species that rely on healthy habitats.

Different species. Same vulnerability.

They evolved with no mammal predators, which means rodents put real pressure on ecosystems — quietly and constantly.
That’s why responsible rodent control matters.
Not just for homes, but for everything living around them. 🌿

This is why we do what we do.

From kererū and tūī to geckos and giant wētā, Waiheke is home to species unique to Aotearoa.
What many of them share is this: they evolved with no mammal predators.

Rodents don’t just affect homes — they quietly put pressure on native ecosystems.
When rodents are managed responsibly, wildlife has space to recover. 🌿

Protecting what makes Waiheke special starts right where we live.

Raukawa geckos are one of our most common native lizards — but “common” doesn’t mean safe.
These geckos are slow-moving, curious, and often nest in warm, sheltered spots around homes, sheds, and gardens.

Rodents hunt them at night, taking adults, juveniles, and eggs.
In places where rats are controlled, gecko numbers rebound quickly — proving how vulnerable they are, and how much difference local pest management makes. 🦎🌿

Every rodent-free property helps protect the small species that keep Waiheke’s ecosystems in balance.
