Frequently Asked Questions (Rodent / Mouse Control)
Why do rodents still enter even when the premises is kept clean?
Rodents can enter through small gaps under doors, broken vents, pipe openings, ceiling voids, or shared service routes (especially in shoplots and apartments). Even clean spaces may have attractants such as pet food, stored goods, water leaks, or sheltered nesting corners.
What areas are usually checked first during a rodent inspection?
Inspection typically focuses on waste routes, loading/receiving areas, storerooms, ceiling access points, drain lines, and perimeter walls. Kitchens, pantries, and food storage zones (where present) are also checked because rodents follow consistent travel paths near food and shelter.
Are bait stations safe around people, pets, and public-facing areas?
Where bait stations are used, they are typically secured and placed in controlled locations to reduce tampering. Method selection depends on site sensitivity (homes with children/pets, schools, clinics, public areas) and risk assessment. Guidance on safe placement and precautions is provided as part of the service plan.
Do you provide documentation for Halal audits and hygiene inspections?
Yes. Documentation can include service reports/job sheets, service schedules, chemical lists and MSDS, inspection records, corrective action notes, and layout plans (where applicable). Requirements can vary by premises and audit scope.
Will trapping alone solve a rodent problem, or is proofing also needed?
Traps and monitoring can reduce active rodents, but long-term control improves when entry points are addressed. If gaps under doors, wall openings, or service penetrations remain open, new rodents can enter. Proofing and housekeeping improvements help reduce repeat issues.
How long does it take to reduce rodent activity, and is follow-up needed?
Timelines depend on activity level, surrounding environment (back lanes, open drains, nearby food sources), and how quickly entry points can be improved. Follow-up visits are commonly recommended for monitoring, station servicing (where used), and adjustment of control points until activity stabilises.
What can be done daily to reduce rodent attraction in homes or businesses?
Store food in sealed containers, clear spillages quickly, keep bins covered, and reduce clutter in storage corners. Fix leaks, keep floors drier where possible, and close doors properly—especially at night. For businesses, managing waste schedules and keeping receiving/loading areas tidy can significantly reduce attraction.
