Rodent Control

Rats and mice damage wiring, contaminate surfaces, and create real hygiene risk in kitchens, ceilings, and storage areas. Identifying how they are entering is as important as removing the ones already inside.

Overview

What this service covers

Rodent activity affects far more than comfort. In homes it can contaminate food storage, damage wiring, disturb sleep, and spread odours through roofs and ceilings. In restaurants, supermarkets, warehouses, clinics, and manufacturing sites, even a single rodent sighting can trigger audit failures, stock loss, and reputational damage. Monsoon flooding can also displace rats from drains and low-lying service corridors into kitchens, plant rooms, and storage zones.

We treat rodent control as a combination of monitoring, proofing, sanitation, and strategic bait management. Roof voids, false ceilings, refuse areas, loading bays, drain lines, cable entries, and landscaping edges are reviewed to understand how rats or mice are moving through the site. The treatment plan is then adapted to the property type, with extra emphasis on child-safe or food-safe placement, reporting, and revisit schedules for commercial accounts.

Signs of infestation

  • Droppings around cupboards, pallets, racks, or ceiling spaces
  • Gnaw marks on cable, packaging, timber, or product cartons
  • Night-time scratching in roofs, walls, or false ceilings
  • Grease smears along repeated travel paths
  • Burrows, runs, or disturbed soil near drains and service yards

Ideal for

  • Factories & Warehouses
  • Hotels & Restaurants
  • Corporate Offices

Treatment Process

How the service is delivered

  1. 01

    Locate

    We map harbourage, food access, water sources, and entry points around drains, roller shutters, roof gaps, and service penetrations.

  2. 02

    Treat

    Control measures may include secure baiting, trapping, proofing recommendations, and site-specific housekeeping changes.

  3. 03

    Monitor

    Commercial programs include trend observation, bait consumption review, and response notes for audit support.

  4. 04

    Prevent

    Proofing and sanitation changes are prioritised so the site stops supporting new rodent activity.

Methods Used

Treatment methods used

The mix of proofing, trapping, baiting, and monitoring depends on where rodents are moving and how the site is used.

Tamper-resistant baiting

Stations are secured in appropriate locations to reduce accidental contact while maintaining control coverage.

Mechanical trapping

In sensitive spaces or when monitoring is required, trapping can help verify activity with minimal product use.

Proofing guidance

We identify gaps under doors, pipe penetrations, drain issues, and stock-handling weaknesses that support repeat infestation.

Safety & Eco Measures

Measured treatment, clear re-entry guidance, and practical prevention

  • Child-safe and pet-conscious placement is considered for residential sites.
  • Food handling businesses receive service layouts that respect hygiene zoning and access controls.
  • Dead rodent search guidance and odour management advice are given where needed.

Audit-ready for commercial sites

Suitable for food businesses, warehouses, clinics, and facilities that need logs, maps, and trend reporting.

Proofing matters

Rodent control fails fast if entry points, waste discipline, and storage gaps are not addressed alongside treatment.

Post-treatment instructions

  • Do not move bait stations or traps without instruction.
  • Improve daily waste handling and keep lids closed.
  • Repair door sweeps, mesh defects, and drainage faults highlighted in the report.
  • Track sightings by location so trends can be reviewed accurately.

Quick prevention tips

  • Keep pallets at least slightly off walls for clear monitoring visibility.
  • Store food ingredients in sealed containers where possible.
  • Trim dense vegetation touching perimeter walls.
  • Inspect drains, grease traps, and loading areas after heavy rain.
