Rodent Control Singapore

WHEN YOU SMELL A RAT..

Rats are particularly challenging pests as they can transmit serious diseases, reproduce rapidly, and have strong protective instincts. While there are many types of rodents, the most common rats found in Singapore are the Norway rat, roof rat and house mouse, found in sewers, outdoors and within homes respectively.

Rodents are mammals and, like humans, have front teeth for gnawing and cheek teeth, which are adapted for chewing. Their teeth never stop growing, and to constantly wear them down, rodents resort to chewing on anything available to them, causing great damage in and around homes. Their biology and habits present a serious menace to your home, making them a challenge to control. Do you know that just a pair of rats has the potential to become an infestation of thousands of rats in just one year? If you're in need of rodent control services in Singapore, here's what you should know about these vermin.

SIGNS OF RODENT INFESTATION:

Many countries, such as Singapore, face rat infestations at the workplace. Here are a few indications of rodent activities that will indicate that you could have a problem with rats

  • A dead rodent will give off an unpleasant odour.
  • Chew marks can be seen on wires, wood, plastic, rubber, and other materials.
  • The higher the rodent infestation is, the mustier the smell present.
  • Rodent droppings are the most commonly observed sign of an infestation.
  • Scratching, scampering, and gnawing noises in the inside walls, ceilings, and attics.

They have high metabolism and require a high intake of food to maintain their energy levels.

GARDEN SHREW - INSPECTION

INSPECTION
Our Technicians are trained to meticulously seek out bed bugs and signs of booklice. They also take into consideration structural issues, housekeeping practices as well as surrounding environments.

MONITORING DEVICES*

MONITORING DEVICES*
Set up along potential pathways, these devices pick up motion to identify rodents movement. The data collected is used to improve the program strategy to achieve higher success rates.

INSECT LIGHT TRAP (2)

GLUE BOARDS
Placed where rodents typically travel, glue boards trap rodents when they go past it. Our technicians add baits that colour the rodents droppings so that we can monitor their activity.

SNAP TRAPS

SNAP TRAPS
A bait is placed on the trigger plate so that when the rodent enters and tries to reach it, the spring-loaded bar snaps down on the rodent. 

INSECT LIGHT TRAP

DATA COLLECTION*
We track the larval count to monitor mosquito activity. Based on data analysis, we adjust the treatment to achieve optimal results with minimal use of chemicals.
