Rodents, especially rats and mice, are so-called cultural followers. They find sufficient food, shelter and warmth in human dwellings and buildings. In addition to eating damage to buildings, plants, various materials, food and feed, contamination through droppings and urine poses a considerable health risk. Various pathogens and viruses can be spread by carry-over, including leptospirosis, paratyphoid, Lyme disease, trichinosis and the Hanta virus. It is important to identify the rodent, as mice and rats differ in their living and behavioural habits. You will be advised on how to proceed based on the circumstances and location. Various measures are then available, taking into account all safety-relevant aspects for humans, animals and the environment:

• Sealing and closing openings and cracks
• Sealing doors
• Placing poisoned baits in access-protected boxes
• Setting up snap traps (also access-protected)
• Setting up live traps

Which measure makes sense must be decided on a case-by-case basis. A Desinsekta GmbH specialist will be happy to advise you and find a solution with you.
