Rodent baiting

Rentokil’s large selection of baits is suitable for use indoors and outdoors, are installed and distributed through bait stations as part of a customised rat control program for homes and businesses. The rat bait or rodenticide contained within the bait station is accessible to rats and offers an effective solution to your rat problem. 

Rodent proofing

Proofing your business and home to deny rats entry, and removing easy access to food and water, can really make a difference. Your Rentokil technician can help identify ingress areas, opportunities for rodent proofing, including Rentokil’s Flexi Armour range, and denying access to places within your home or business that are ideal for rat shelter and nesting.

Rodent tracking

Your qualified Rentokil technician may use UV tracking gel to identify the movements of rats in your business or home. This will assist in the complete rodent inspection of your property including hard-to-spot places like roof voids, under floor boards, or nesting sites in walls. 

Rodent education and training 

Hygiene and housekeeping should be a key focus with thorough, regular cleaning taking place frequently to avoid rat infestation. Early detection of rat problems and dealing with them as soon as possible means saving costs in the long run. Rentokil can provide practical tips and training on food safety and storage practices, property maintenance, and reducing overall attractants to rat species.

How much does rat control cost?

Your rat control costs will ultimately reflect the time and effort it will take to control numbers at your home or business. The first step in determining the cost of rat control is fully understanding the problem. Damaged stock from rat activity? Scratching noises coming from the roof? Grease smudges on surfaces? 

To answer all the above questions, Rentokil will need to visit your property and carry out an inspection for rat activity. Following on from that the factors below will help determine the most effective rat treatment solution and its associated costs.

Type of rat

There are two key species of rat of concern in Fiji, the brown rat (or common rat) and the black rat. 

Size of property

The square footage of your property and premises will have a direct impact on the type of rat treatment used and the number of follow-up treatments required.

Severity of rat infestation and damage

If many rats are present, or if there is a large amount of rat damage within your property, you may require more extensive treatment. Often, the current rat infestation will need to be managed before a permanent control solution is installed.
