Rodent infestations are a persistent issue in Singapore, owing to its humid climate and dense urban settings. Rodents, such as rats and mice, are more than just a nuisance. They pose significant risks to both health and property. Diseases like leptospirosis and Hantavirus can be transmitted through their droppings, urine, or bites.
Additionally, their constant gnawing can lead to structural damage, including chewed wires that may cause electrical fires. Prompt rodent control measures are essential to protect your home and health. With the right expertise and solutions, you can maintain a safe and rodent-free environment!

According to the National Environment Agency (NEA), rats pose a major health risk as their urine, droppings, and fleas can transmit serious diseases. They are known as the carriers of illnesses such as Salmonellosis, Hantavirus, and leptospirosis. These illnesses spread through their droppings, urine, and bites, posing severe risks to humans and pets.
Their sharp teeth can gnaw through wires, pipes, and even structural components of buildings, leading to costly repairs and potential safety hazards.
Rodent droppings and urine can taint food and water supplies, resulting in food poisoning and other health concerns.
Understanding which rodents are invading your space helps us take precise action. In Singapore, the most common culprits are:
These pests infest dry wood, including furniture and structural timber, without needing contact with soil. Their ability to hollow out wood from the inside makes drywood termite treatment crucial for long-term protection.
Agile and good at climbing, these rats often nest in attics, false ceilings, or roof spaces. They’re known for causing electrical damage by gnawing on wires and insulation.
Small, fast, and incredibly sneaky, these mice can fit through gaps as tiny as a pencil. Often found indoors, they reproduce quickly and leave behind droppings that pose serious health risks.
No matter the species, our rodent control specialists are trained to identify, isolate, and eliminate the issue using species-specific techniques.
Look for small, dark droppings near food sources or along walls. Yellowish stains or strong odours may also indicate their presence.
Rats gnaw constantly to keep their teeth sharp. Damaged cables, furniture, or wood are tell-tale signs.
Hearing scampering or rustling sounds, particularly in walls or ceilings, often indicates rodent activity.
Rats build nests using soft materials like shredded paper, fabric, or furniture stuffing. These are usually found in attics, basements, or other secluded areas.
Our comprehensive process ensures that we tackle the problem at every level, from detection to long-term prevention.
We begin with a detailed site inspection to identify the rodent species, entry points, nesting sites, and scale of the infestation. This allows us to tailor the treatment plan accordingly.
Depending on the environment, location, and species of rodent, we deploy our mouse glue traps, glue boards, rat cages, or rodent bait stations to ensure efficient rodent removal. Each method is carefully selected and positioned to maximise effectiveness while keeping safety in mind.
To stop future infestations, we identify and advise on entry points such as wall cracks, drainage openings, and gaps around doors or windows. While we do not carry out the sealing work ourselves, we strongly recommend engaging a construction contractor to close these gaps immediately. Prompt action is essential to prevent rodents from re-entering and to maintain a rodent-free environment.
We advise on proper sanitation techniques, such as storing food in airtight containers and keeping the property clean, to remove attractants and discourage rodent activity.
Rodent control requires ongoing maintenance plans. Because rodents reproduce quickly, regular servicing is essential to steadily bring down their population and prevent a resurgence. We provide follow-up visits to track progress, adjust strategies where necessary, and ensure your property remains protected over the long term.
Trying to handle a rat problem on your own may seem like a quick fix, but without the right expertise, it often leads to recurring infestations and unnecessary frustration.
For true peace of mind and long-term protection, investing in professional rat pest control is always the safer, smarter choice.
