Why control rat?

Rats are known to be direct transmitters of nearly a dozen diseases and are capable of breeding extensively – within two months of being born. This makes rats a particular concern in commercial and government building and in hospitals.

  • Like most pests, rats are naturally drawn to easy sources of food, like kitchens, breakrooms, restaurants, and refuse areas. 
  • Rats are known carriers of multiple serious diseases, this puts anyone using these facilities at risk of being infected.
  • Disease isn’t the only risk to commercial organisations posed by rats. Rats are known to chew into cables and electrical wires, which can lead to breakdowns in infrastructure and even fires.
  • Rats are typically distinguished from mice by their size. Rats can grow to be up to 1kg. Their size means that they will usually nest in basements or crawl spaces
  • Rats are stronger than mice and can even gnaw through various building materials, including glass, sheet metal, wood and aluminium

How to prevent rats

You can minimise the risk of attracting rats to your workplace by cleaning up food scraps, storing all food in sealed containers, and by keeping bins clean and sealed.

While prevention is always the ideal approach, it is almost impossible to keep commercial buildings free of rats at all times. Early detection is important, helping to eradicate nests before you succumb to a rat infestation.
