Rodent Control

Rodent Control Services in Rwanda

If rodents are turning your home, office, or commercial space into a nightmare, it's time to take action. At Rafiki Pest Control Rwanda, we understand the damage, discomfort, and health risks that rodents like rats and mice bring into your environment. Our rodent control service is designed to eliminate infestations quickly and thoroughly, while also preventing future problems through proactive and long-term solutions.

What Are Rodents and Why They Matter

Rodents are small mammals known for their sharp incisor teeth, which never stop growing. They chew through wood, wires, packaging, and even concrete causing extensive damage to property and infrastructure. In Rwanda, the most common rodent species are house mice, black rats, and Norway rats. These pests can be found anywhere from residential homes and hotels to schools, restaurants, and warehouses.

Rodents are not just a nuisance they’re a threat. They contaminate food, destroy property, and spread harmful diseases such as leptospirosis, hantavirus, salmonella, and rat-bite fever. Their presence can lead to lost inventory, health violations, and ruined reputations for businesses.

Signs You Have a Rodent Problem

Rodents are clever and fast, so they may remain unseen even when they’re active in your space. Look out for these common signs:

• Droppings around food areas, inside drawers, or along baseboards
• Gnaw marks on furniture, cables, walls, and packaging
• Scratching or scampering noises, especially at night
• Grease marks or footprints along walls or dusty surfaces
• Unpleasant ammonia-like odors from nesting or urine
• Nests made of shredded materials in hidden corners or behind appliances

Our Rodent Inspection Process

When you call Rafiki Pest Control Rwanda, we begin with a full property inspection. Our trained team assesses the level of infestation, identifies entry points, locates nesting areas, and determines food and water sources that sustain the rodent population. This detailed inspection helps us design a targeted treatment plan that suits your space and situation.

How We Control Rodents

We take a structured, effective, and humane approach to rodent control. Here’s what our treatment process looks like:

1. Exclusion (Sealing Entry Points)
2. We inspect and seal holes, cracks, and gaps in walls, floors, roofs, and doors. Rodents can squeeze through incredibly small openings, so we ensure even the tiniest gaps are addressed using rodent-proof materials like metal mesh and concrete sealant.
3. Baiting and Trapping
4. We place tamper-proof bait stations and traps in strategic areas, based on rodent activity. Our bait stations use professional-grade rodenticides that are safe for use in both homes and businesses when applied correctly. We also use mechanical traps for environments where poison use is restricted, such as schools and food service areas.
5. Rodent-Proofing Advice
6. We guide you on proper sanitation, food storage, and waste management practices that will reduce rodent attractants. From placing trash in sealed bins to storing food in airtight containers, we help you make your environment less appealing to rodents.
7. Follow-Up Visits
8. Rodent infestations often require more than one treatment. We return to monitor bait stations, check traps, remove dead rodents, and reassess the situation. We adjust our strategy as needed to ensure complete control.

What We Use to Control Rodents

We rely on a combination of industry-approved rodenticides, snap traps, glue boards, bait stations, and exclusion tools. All materials are selected for safety, efficiency, and minimal environmental impact. Our team wears full protective gear and takes extra precautions in sensitive areas like kitchens, hospitals, and children’s play areas.

Prevention Measures You Can Take

Even after treatment, it’s important to maintain a rodent-free environment. Here are some preventive tips:

• Store food in sealed containers
• Dispose of garbage regularly and seal trash bins tightly
• Seal cracks and crevices in walls and floors
• Avoid clutter, especially cardboard boxes and paper piles
• Keep your yard clean and trim overgrown vegetation
• Fix leaking pipes or taps to eliminate water sources
