G’day, Waitakere. Living out West is a lifestyle choice. You get the stunning native bush, the rugged beaches, and the peace and quiet away from the city chaos.
But that bush-clad paradise comes with a catch. When the weather drops, the local wildlife decides your ceiling cavity looks like a five-star hotel.
We’ve seen it all across the Waitakere Ranges. Following a remarkably hot summer and a mild winter, 2026 has delivered a massive autumn pest surge.
Rats are being driven out of the canopy and straight into warm, dry residential homes. If you’re hearing the 3 AM ceiling Olympics, you’re not alone, and it’s time to take action.
