Homes in Rathfarnham and what that means for this job

Rathfarnham has 1930s–1970s semi-detached homes, larger period houses and newer developments near the M50. Rathfarnham is in Dublin 14 and falls under South Dublin County Council.

1930s–1960s homes often have gaps around old pipework and damaged airbricks that let mice in. 1970s–1990s houses commonly get mice through gaps where pipes and cables enter, and rats via damaged drains. Newer homes and apartments can see pests through service risers and shared bin stores, so building-wide treatment is sometimes needed.

What the fix involves and typical cost in Rathfarnham

Targeted gel baits or treatment at nest sites and entry points.

Typical price: €100–€200 (indicative Dublin range incl. VAT). The final price depends on:

  • Type of pest
  • Size of the property and extent of infestation
  • Number of visits
  • Proofing work
