Rodent Control Singapore

Rodent Management

rodent (1)

The Order Rodentia comprises over 2,000 species, which are subdivided into many families. The Family Muridae is the largest, containing nearly two-thirds of all rodent species. This family includes several subfamilies and includes sand rats, gerbils, crested rats and old world rats and mice. Most rodents that can be found in the urban areas are pests while those that thrive in rural towns are known to destroy crops. Thus, rodent control is essential.

Signs of Rats Infestation

Rat Droppings

You might spot small, dark droppings in hidden corners. Brown rat droppings look like dark grains of rice, while roof rat droppings are more pointed at the ends.

Noises

If you are hearing scurrying, scratching, or squeaking sounds, especiallyat night, it could be a sign that rats are active in your home.

Rub Marks

If you notice greasy streaks or smudge marks along walls and baseboards, that is a sign rats are traveling along the same paths regularly.

Holes

Rats tend to make holes or burrows in walls, floors, and structures as entry points or places to nest.

Rodent Control Procedures

Inspection

It is critical to inspect rodent activity before any rodent control program to eliminate rodents. The best time to check is during the rodent's period of high activity (at dusk or just after dark). Rodent inspection includes looking for their droppings (fecal material), gnaw marks, grease marks, looking for their runways and burrows. Mice, Roof Rats, and Norway Rats have different habits. Understanding their distinctive behaviors will help you with inspection around your property.

Poison Baiting

Rodents only need to eat a small amount of bait for it to be lethal, so if you notice there's not a large amount of bait missing, don't worry, it's still working. An ideal rodenticide is one that is highly toxic to rodents in small quantities, nontoxic to nontarget species, and avoids bait shyness and bait refusal.

Glue Traps

Glue traps will capture mice and have their advantages and disadvantages. They are convenient and clean, the whole thing is disposed of, mouse and all. They are nontoxic and so are especially useful in situations where small children or pets could get into poison bait or could get “snapped” in regular mouse traps.

Monitoring And Maintenance

Use exclusion and sanitation techniques to prevent rodents from being able to access your building in a safe and healthy manner. The most efficient way to combat your rodent problem is to rid your premises of infestations at the very first opportunity. Effective methods, such as sealing entry points, can limit the rodents' ability to enter buildings and can prevent future invasions from recurring..
