The First Eco-friendly Rat Trap
Rats are well known to spread disease, damage property and contaminate food and animal feed. If they are able to gain entry into your home or business, they can introduce other unwelcome parasites like fleas, lice and ticks.
Introducing Ekomille - an ecological mouse trap system provided by Rentokil Initial:
Ekomille is a revolutionary, patented, digital, and ecological multi-trap system designed to manage moderate or severe rat infestations.
High Efficiency: Data from the Hong Kong government's 2022 "Rodent Control Operation" showed that new traps like Ekomille (sometimes called "alcohol mouse traps") increased the efficiency of rodent control by nearly 50 times. This significantly improved the rat problem in public areas like wet markets.
Non-Toxic and Safe: Ekomille does not use any toxic chemicals or poisons, making it completely harmless to pets and children.
Clean and Multi-Catch: It can repeatedly trap multiple rodents after installation and does not produce unpleasant smells, ensuring the surrounding environment remains clean and hygienic.
Humane Control: The advanced CO2 version controls rats in a more humane way, suppressing rodents quickly—often within five minutes.
Ekomille is the first mouse trap system developed with ecology and environmental protection in mind. It is the result of over 20 years of research into the biological habits of mice.
It is suitable for a wide range of indoor and outdoor locations, including markets and restaurants, hospitals and schools, farms and factories, general businesses.

Ekomille is unique because it targets the entire rat population using natural, non-poisonous food bait (like dry food). This sets it apart from other methods that rely on toxic chemicals.
Lure: A small ladder and natural food bait lure the rodent into the upper section of the device.
Capture: When the rodent enters the upper area, an internal sensor is instantly triggered.
Suppression: This causes the rodent to quickly and humanely fall into the lower tank, which is filled with an alcohol solution, ensuring fast suppression. This quick process is considered humane and minimizes any environmental impact.
Tracking: A counting dial on the outside of the trap displays the number of rodents caught.
Safety & Hygiene: The system is completely non-toxic, containing no chemicals or bad smells, which greatly improves hygiene quality.
Efficiency: Unlike traditional methods (like glue boards or poison bait), Ekomille does not require constant monitoring or frequent maintenance.
Reusable: The entire device is reusable, making it a more environmentally friendly, safe, hygienic, and efficient way to catch mice.

Ekomille only needs dry battery to operate for a long time without external power supply or charging, so it is suitable for any indoor and outdoor situations. Only need to add food bait and add approved sanitizing-formula-alcohol to the bottom tank to operate.
Ekomille can trap up to 20 mice in one placement. The number of mice caught is displayed on the outside of the mousetrap. When it is full, Rentokil's experts will come to collect the mice and replace them for disinfection.
In response to media interviews, the government referred to the Ekomille as an "alcohol mousetrap," which is actually the same device. According to the data provided by the government, from July to November 2022, 84 rats have been caught in less than three months, which has achieved remarkable results.
After the actual test of the Hong Kong Rodent Control Operation starting in 2022, the Ekomille ecological mousetrap has performed well and has been reported by the media many times:
