Rodents, particularly rats and mice, are a persistent problem for commercial properties. From restaurants to warehouses and even offices and retail stores, rodents can invade your business, creating serious health risks and causing damage to infrastructure. In addition to the physical destruction they cause, rodents can also compromise your brand’s reputation by creating an unsanitary environment. Effective rodent control is essential for maintaining a safe, hygienic, and compliant business. At Rentokil, we offer comprehensive, customised rodent pest control solutions for commercial properties to prevent infestations and protect your business.
Understanding the signs of a rodent infestation is crucial for early detection. The sooner you identify the problem, the easier and more cost-effective it will be to address. Here are some common signs that rodents are present in your commercial property:
Rodent droppings are one of the most obvious signs of an infestation. They are typically small, dark pellets found near food storage areas, in kitchens, or along walls and baseboards.
Rodents constantly gnaw on objects to keep their teeth sharp. Look for chew marks on wires, insulation, wood, and other materials. These gnaw marks are often visible around entry points or food areas.
Rodents use materials like shredded paper, fabric, and insulation to build nests. Finding piles of such materials in hidden corners or wall cavities is a clear indication of an infestation.
If you hear scratching, scurrying, or squeaking sounds, particularly at night, it's a sign that rodents are moving around inside walls, ceilings, or floors.
A strong, musty odour or the smell of urine may indicate the presence of rodents.
Seeing a rodent during daylight hours or noticing their tracks and trails signals an active infestation.
This system uses a smart gate mechanism to identify and restrict rodent access, ensuring only target species can enter the station. It provides real-time activity data through the myRentokil platform, offering an efficient, eco-friendly solution for controlling rat populations.
A non-toxic, 24/7 monitoring solution, it immediately alerts Rentokil when a rat is captured. The system ensures a quick response, with technicians resetting the trap and identifying potential entry points.
Bait stations are placed at strategic locations, offering both toxic and non-toxic options to control rat populations. These secure, weather-resistant stations are designed to be safe for areas with children or pets.
Rentokil offers solutions to seal entry points and deter rodents, reducing the risk of infestation. This includes the use of materials like Flexi Armour for commercial properties, protecting your building from potential damage and disease transfer.
Rentokil’s UV Tracking Gel helps trace rodent activity by leaving a fluorescent trail, visible under UV light. This method is useful for identifying rodent paths and determining where to place traps or baits, allowing for effective control and prevention measures in both business and home environments.
Rentokil offers expert training to help staff recognise early signs of rodent activity and implement best practices for hygiene and rodent-proofing. This proactive approach ensures that businesses are better prepared to prevent infestations and comply with food safety regulations.
Rodents are more than just an inconvenience. They are a significant threat to your business, especially in industries like food service, healthcare, and retail. Here are a few reasons why rodent control should be a priority:
Rodents are known carriers of various diseases, including Salmonella, Leptospirosis, and Hantavirus. They can contaminate food, surfaces, and equipment, leading to potential outbreaks of foodborne illnesses or infections.
Rodents have a tendency to gnaw on wires, insulation, and building materials, which can cause extensive damage to infrastructure. This can lead to costly repairs, potential fire hazards, and loss of property value.
Many industries, particularly food handling, healthcare, and hospitality, must comply with strict hygiene and health safety regulations. A rodent infestation can lead to violations, fines, or shutdowns, as well as damage to your brand’s reputation.
Having rodents in your commercial space can create an unsafe and unsanitary environment, impacting employee well-being and customer trust. Customers may be put off by the sight of a rodent or even a suspicion of infestation.
Rodents can leave behind droppings, urine, and nests, which not only create unpleasant odours but also contribute to further contamination. The presence of these pests can make your business less inviting for customers and employees.

Common signs include droppings, gnaw marks on surfaces, unusual noises, and visible tracks. Regular inspections and monitoring can help detect infestations early.
