Rat, Mice and Rodent control services in Dubai

RODENT PEST CONTROL SERVICES

Rodent control is significant for several reasons, as rodents can pose serious threats to health, property, and the environment. Rodents, such as rats and mice, are carriers of various diseases that can be transmitted to humans. Common diseases include Hantavirus, Leptospirosis, Salmonellosis, and more. Controlling rodents helps reduce the risk of disease transmission. They have strong teeth that continuously grow, leading them to gnaw on various materials to keep their teeth at a manageable length. This can result in damage to structures, electrical wiring, insulation, and even personal belongings. Rodents can contaminate stored food and water supplies with their droppings, urine, and hair. This contamination poses a health risk to humans when they consume or come into contact with the contaminated items.
In summary, rodent control is not only essential for protecting human health but also for safeguarding property, the environment, and various industries from the adverse effects of rodent infestations. Implementing preventive measures and promptly addressing rodent issues are critical for maintaining a safe and healthy living and working environment.

RODENT TYPES

NORWEGIAN RAT (BROWN RAT)

Brown rats typically have brown or grayish-brown fur, with a lighter underside. They have a robust and cylindrical body, a blunt muzzle, and relatively small ears compared to their body size. Brown rats are highly adaptable and can be found in a variety of environments, including urban areas, farmlands, and natural habitats. They are excellent climbers and swimmers, allowing them to exploit a wide range of habitats. Brown rats are primarily nocturnal, meaning they are most active during the night. They are excellent burrowers, creating extensive burrow systems for nesting and shelter. Brown rats have an omnivorous diet, feeding on a wide range of food items, including grains, fruits, vegetables, insects, and even garbage.

ROOF RAT (BLACK RAT)

Roof rats are generally smaller than Norway rats. They have a sleek and slender body with a tail longer than their head and body combined. Their fur color can range from black to brown, and their undersides are typically lighter in color. As the name suggests, roof rats are excellent climbers and are often found in elevated areas, such as trees, attics, roofs, and rafters. They are also known to inhabit a variety of environments, including urban areas, agricultural settings, and natural habitats. Like Norway rats, roof rats are primarily nocturnal, being most active during the night. They have an omnivorous diet, feeding on fruits, grains, seeds, insects, and even small vertebrates.

HOUSE MOUSE

The house mouse, is a small mammal that is one of the most common and widespread rodents worldwide. They are small rodents with a pointed snout, large ears, and a long, scaly tail. Their fur color can vary but is typically light brown or gray, and the underside is lighter in color. House mice are highly adaptable and can be found in a wide range of habitats, including homes, buildings, fields, and agricultural areas. They are good climbers and can also be found in elevated spaces. House mice are primarily nocturnal, being most active during the night and can be territorial, and multiple individuals may share the same nesting area.

HOW WE DO IT

Inspection: - A thorough inspection is conducted to identify the type of rodents present, the extent of the infestation, and potential entry points.
Identification: - Determine the species of rodents involved (e.g., rats or mice) to tailor the control strategy accordingly.
Exclusion: - Seal entry points to prevent rodents from entering buildings. This may involve repairing cracks, gaps, and holes in walls, floors, and foundations.
Sanitation: - Advise on and assist with maintaining a clean environment to eliminate food and water sources that attract rodents.
Trapping: - Use traps strategically placed in areas of high rodent activity. Different types of traps may be employed, including snap traps, glue traps, and live traps.
Rodenticides: - Use rodenticides strategically and safely. Professionals will select appropriate bait stations and formulations to minimize risks to non-target animals.
Monitoring: - Regularly monitor traps and bait stations to assess the success of the control program and make adjustments as needed.
Education: - Provide information to property owners or occupants on rodent prevention, signs of infestation, and the importance of maintaining a clean environment.

TIPS TO AVOID RODENT INFESTATION

Inspect your home for any gaps, cracks, or holes that rodents could use to enter. Seal these entry points with materials like caulk, steel wool, or weatherstripping.
Eliminate food and water sources by keeping your living space clean. Clean up spills promptly, store food in airtight containers, and avoid leaving pet food out overnight.
Use secure trash cans with tight-fitting lids to prevent rodents from accessing food scraps. Regularly dispose of trash and keep outdoor bins away from the house.
Trim vegetation and keep bushes and trees away from your home. Rodents may use overhanging branches or dense vegetation as a pathway to your roof.
Keep firewood and other items stored away from the exterior walls of your home. Elevate firewood off the ground and store it at a distance to discourage rodents from nesting.
Regularly vacuum and sweep areas where crumbs and food particles may accumulate. This includes not just kitchen areas but also dining rooms, living rooms, and other spaces.
