Rodent Control (Rats & Mice)
Rats and mice carry disease, destroy property, and cause electrical fires. Our proven rodent elimination and proofing service gets rid of them for good.
About Our Rodent Control (Rats & Mice)
Rats and mice are among the most damaging and dangerous pests in South African homes and businesses. They breed rapidly, spread serious diseases including Leptospirosis and Salmonellosis, cause electrical fires by gnawing through cables, and can contaminate enormous quantities of stored food.
Eco-Fumigation's rodent control service goes beyond simply placing poison — we identify the full extent of the infestation, locate all entry points, implement a targeted baiting and/or trapping programme, and then physically proof the building to prevent re-entry. Our approach addresses the root cause, not just the symptoms.
Full Rodent Survey
Identify species, map runs, locate burrows, and find all entry points inside and outside.
Professional Bait Stations
Tamper-resistant stations with professional rodenticides — unavailable in retail. Safe around children and pets.
Snap & Live Trapping
Non-toxic options for sensitive environments — food areas, homes with pets, and healthcare facilities.
Proofing & Exclusion
All entry points sealed with copper mesh, steel wool, and professional sealants — the key to long-term success.
Sanitation & Removal
Dead rodents and nesting material safely removed and disposed of. Affected areas sanitised.
Follow-Up Monitoring
1-week and 3-week follow-up visits to confirm eradication and replenish stations as needed.
Our Rodent Control (Rats & Mice) Process
A structured, professional approach that guarantees results every time.
Rodent Inspection & Species ID
We inspect roof voids, sub-floor, drains, garden, and building perimeter — mapping all activity and identifying the species.
Bait Station Placement
Professional tamper-resistant bait stations placed along active runs inside and outside — positioned for maximum take.
Trapping Programme
Heavy-duty snap traps or live traps placed in concealed positions along confirmed activity runs.
Proofing (Exclusion)
All identified entry points — gaps around pipes, under doors, in fascia boards — sealed with appropriate materials.
Follow-Up Visit (1 Week)
Stations checked, dead rodents removed, bait replenished. Activity levels assessed to gauge treatment progress.
Clearance Visit (3 Weeks)
Final inspection confirms eradication. Proofing integrity checked. Certificate issued on request.
If rodent activity persists after the full treatment programme, we return for additional treatment at no charge within the guarantee period.
