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.

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.

Wetapunga are some of Aotearoa’s most extraordinary insects — huge, slow-moving, and completely unique to our forests.
But because they evolved with no mammal predators, they stand little chance against rats.

Ship rats and Norway rats actively hunt wetapunga, eating adults, juveniles, and even eggs.
In areas with high rodent numbers, wetapunga simply disappear.
When rodents are controlled, wetapunga populations recover — fast. 🪲🌿

Rodent management isn’t just about protecting homes.
It’s about giving our rarest species a chance to survive.

Kororā nest around Aotearoa’s coasts — including spots on and around Waiheke.
They’re the world’s smallest penguin, and one of the most at risk from rats and stoats when they come ashore to rest, nest, or feed their chicks. 🐧🌿

Keeping our homes and properties rodent-free helps protect these tiny locals as they move through their breeding season.

For the birds we love — and the wildlife that makes this island special. 💙

Tūī are one of the loudest voices in our ngahere — their calls, clicks and whistles are part of what makes Waiheke feel alive.
But their eggs and chicks are vulnerable to rats and mice during nesting season. 🌿🐦

By keeping our homes and properties rodent-free, we help keep their song strong across the island.

For the birds we love. 💚

Kererū are more than just beautiful — they’re essential for spreading the seeds of our native trees. 🌿
Protecting them means keeping Waiheke’s habitats healthy and thriving.

Every responsible rodent treatment helps our birdlife flourish.
For the birds we love. 🕊️💚

Gardening tools out, camping gear pulled down, BBQ gear dusted off — sheds and storage get a workout this month.
It’s also when rodents look for quiet corners to hide.
A five-minute look now keeps things clean and stress-free later.

☀️ Summer’s creeping closer — and so is rodent activity.
If you’re gardening, clearing sheds, or opening up the house for warmer evenings, it’s the perfect moment to check for the early signs: gnaw marks, droppings, or scratching at night.

Early action = fewer problems when the weather really heats up.
Local, eco-friendly, and here to help keep Waiheke homes and wildlife safe. 🌿🐭
