Rats are intelligent, cautious and destructive — and Kenya's rats (Norway and roof rats) are experts at exploiting gaps, drains and food waste. We survey, bait, trap and proof with commercial-grade methods.
Warning signs
- Large capsule-shaped droppings along walls and behind objects
- Gnaw damage on wood, plastic, pipes and food packaging
- Grease rub marks along frequently used runs
- Burrows in gardens, compounds and under structures
- Loud nocturnal movement in ceilings and wall voids
Why act fast
- Fire and flood damage from gnawed cables and pipes
- Serious disease transmission (leptospirosis, salmonella)
- Contaminated stock and failed audits for food businesses
- Structural burrowing damaging foundations and paved areas
Our approach
01
Full survey
We identify species, population size, food sources and entry routes — roof rats and Norway rats behave differently.
02
Strategic baiting
Heavy-duty, tamper-proof bait stations on established runs, maintained and refilled on schedule.
03
Trapping where poison isn't suitable
Snap and live traps in sensitive areas — kitchens, food stores, homes with pets.
04
Proofing & habitat change
Sealing entries with gnaw-proof materials, vegetation control and waste management advice.
Before we arrive
- Secure all waste in closed bins, away from the building
- Store food and stock off the floor and sealed
- Clear overgrown vegetation touching exterior walls
After treatment
- Leave stations exactly in place — relocation ruins run-based control
- Report any new gnawing or droppings so we can adjust placements
- Maintain the proofing and waste practices we recommend

Common questions
How long does rat control take?
Noticeable reduction in 1–2 weeks; full control of a established population typically takes 3–6 weeks with maintained baiting and proofing.
We've tried shop-bought poison with no luck — why?
Rats are neophobic — they avoid new objects and often sub-lethally dose on weak baits, learning to avoid them. Professional-grade bait, correctly placed on runs, overcomes this.
Do you handle commercial contracts?
Yes — restaurants, godowns, estates and supermarkets get scheduled programmes with documentation for audits and county health compliance.
