Stray Cat Control Services in Rwanda
Stray cats may seem harmless at first, but when they begin to overpopulate an area, they can quickly become a nuisance and even a health hazard. At Rafiki Pest Control Rwanda, we understand the delicate nature of dealing with stray cats. Our approach balances effective control with humane practices, helping you restore peace and safety to your premises without causing harm to the animals.
Whether you're dealing with loud noises at night, scattered garbage, or concerns about diseases, our stray cat control service offers a safe, efficient, and community-friendly solution.
Why Stray Cats Are a Concern
Stray cats are often unneutered and unvaccinated, which makes them prone to rapid population growth and disease transmission. They tend to congregate in areas with accessible food or shelter garbage bins, stores, markets, warehouses, residential compounds, and even schools. Their presence can lead to:
- Loud and aggressive behavior, especially during mating seasons
- Foul odors from urine and feces
- Risk of spreading diseases such as rabies, toxoplasmosis, and ringworm
- Scratching and biting, especially around children or pets
- Attacks on small wildlife like birds and reptiles
- Property damage through clawing or nesting in warm areas like engine compartments
Signs You Have a Stray Cat Problem
- Regular sightings of multiple cats wandering or sleeping in the same area
- Scratching noises, especially at night or early mornings
- Damaged garbage bags or bins
- Strong urine odor or cat feces in hidden areas
- Loud mating calls or cat fights
- Presence of kittens in bushes or around buildings
If you're noticing any of these signs, it's time to take professional action.
Our Inspection Process
Our first step is a thorough inspection of the premises. We determine:
- The number of stray cats present
- Their nesting and feeding zones
- Entry points into your compound or buildings
- Food sources attracting them (e.g., uncovered bins, food waste)
- Signs of breeding or sick cats
This assessment helps us choose the most appropriate control and prevention strategies for your specific environment.
Our Stray Cat Control Approach
We follow a humane, responsible approach that prioritizes both community safety and animal welfare.
1. Trapping and Relocation:
We use safe, humane traps that cause no injury. Once captured, the cats are handed over to local animal shelters or veterinary services for evaluation, sterilization, or rehoming programs when possible.
2. Exclusion and Deterrents:
We seal off potential shelters and entry points using cat-proof materials. In open areas, we may install motion-sensitive sprinklers, scent repellents, or ultrasonic devices to discourage cats from returning.
3. Food Source Elimination:
We guide clients on managing open waste, securing food storage, and discouraging residents or workers from feeding the cats directly.
4. Collaboration with Local Authorities:
Where necessary, we work with municipal animal control departments and NGOs to manage larger stray populations and support long-term sterilization campaigns.
What We Use
- Humane animal traps made of galvanized wire
- Non-toxic repellents such as citrus sprays and essential oils
- Natural deterrents including vinegar-based barriers and pepper solutions
- Motion-activated devices like lights or sprinklers
- Odor control solutions to neutralize scent-marking by cats
We never use poison, harmful deterrents, or lethal measures. Every solution is designed with safety, sustainability, and ethics in mind.
How We Clean and Disinfect After Control
After removing stray cats, we offer sanitation services to clean up:
- Cat urine and feces in crawlspaces, gardens, or garages
- Nesting materials and food remains
- Flea or mite infestations that often accompany stray animals
We use eco-friendly disinfectants and odor neutralizers that are safe for humans and pets, yet strong enough to eliminate biohazards.

We don’t stop at control—we empower our clients with knowledge. After service, we offer custom advice like:
- How to keep bins cat-proof
