Rodent Control

Four Intriguing Steps for Rodent Control

To safeguard your domicile or enterprise from rodent invasions, it’s imperative to comprehend the habits of these pests, implement preventive measures, and discover efficacious treatment options if an infestation manifests. Effective rodent control necessitates understanding the various rodent species—be it Norway rats, roof rats, or house mice—their breeding grounds, the magnitude of the infestation, and the factors contributing to their proliferation. Consequently, the pest control strategies and methods are determined, whether through multi-bait systems or rat traps.

At Mazaya, we offer exemplary rodent control services in Abu Dhabi.

What Are Rodents?

Rodents belong to the mammalian class, scientifically known as “Mus.” These creatures are notorious for being vectors of numerous severe infectious diseases that affect humans and cause substantial damage to crops in fields and storage facilities.

Types of Rodents

Rodents are categorized based on their habitats:

1. Interior Rodents (Household Rodents): These rodents establish nests inside homes and around their peripheries, subsisting on human food and waste. Examples include domestic rats and house mice.
2. Exterior Rodents (Agricultural Rodents):
   • Commensal Rats: Build nests near homes and feed on human food, such as hamsters.
   • Field Rats: Inhabit agricultural fields, including species like squirrels and voles.
   • Wild Rats: Reside far from human habitation and consume wild plants, such as shrews.

Identifying Rodents

Detecting rodents in your home or business in Abu Dhabi can be challenging, as they are nocturnal and typically active at night. Signs of infestation include hearing movement in walls or ceilings during nighttime, spotting mouse droppings, chewed wood or walls, tracks, and a faint urine smell. Rodent presence can also be inferred from accumulated dirt, dust, or spider webs over remnants of rodent activity.

Damages Caused by Rodents

Disease Transmission: Rodents contaminate food and water, spreading diseases like the plague, rat-bite fever, and meningitis, often transmitted through their feces.

Economic Damages: Rodents consume human food, especially grains, causing more destruction than what they eat by hoarding and contaminating stored food with their waste.

Effects of Rodents on Your Property

Rodents can transmit diseases such as hantavirus, salmonellosis, and listeria, either directly or indirectly through fleas and ticks. Infestations in homes or businesses can compromise health, damage structures, and contaminate food and machinery.

Four Fascinating Steps for Rodent Control

1. Preventive Measures: Prevent rodents from entering stores, warehouses, and homes by sealing doors and windows, using proper waste disposal methods, and avoiding open grain storage.
2. Mechanical Methods: Destroy burrows, plow the land deeply, and use traps.
3. Biological Control: Employ natural predators like dogs, cats, birds of prey, and use bacteria and parasites to eliminate rodents.
4. Adhesive Method: Place adhesive near burrows to capture rodents, subsequently killed by natural predators.
