General Pest Control

Rat Control

We have several effective methods in order to solve your rat issues, from baiting and trapping to proofing.

There are two species of rats that are commonly seen in Singapore – Norway Rat and Roof Rat. For a rat to mature and to be able to mate, it needs approximately 21 days. Though rats are commonly known as dirty creatures, they actually groom themselves by licking their bodies, just like cats. However, their fur is usually oily, which makes them easy to detect when they leave smear marks. Their droppings are also an indicator, and rat infestation levels or population can be gauged based on the amount of droppings.

Consequences

Rats can cause the disease known as Leptospirosis, which comes from the bacteria Leptospira that they carry and transmit through their urine. Leptospirosis is deadly as it causes failure of major organs, which leads to death. In addition, rats cause damage to humans and household items through biting.
