Why Innovative Rat Control is Critical?
What is Ekomille?
Ekomille is a revolutionary digital ecological mousetrap system for moderate or severe rodent infestation areas.
According to the data from the Hong Kong government's "Rodent Control Operation" in 2022, new types of mouse traps such as Ekomille (or called "alcohol mouse traps" by Mr. Tse Chin-wan, Secretary for the Environment and Ecology) have increased the efficiency of rodent control by nearly 50 times, significantly improving the rodent control situation in wet markets and other public environments.
Ekomille automatic mousetrap does not use any toxic chemicals. It can repeatedly trap multiple mice after installation, and it will not emit unpleasant smells, keeping the surrounding environment clean and hygienic.
Ekomille is the first patented mouse trap system developed with the concept of ecology and environmental protection. It was developed after 20 years of professional research on the biological habits of mice. It is a pioneer product in the field of ecological rodent pest control methods.

How the Ekomille Ecological Mousetrap Works
The Ekomille mousetrap is comprehensively targeted at the rodent population, as it contains natural food such as dry food etc. And all its ingredients do not contain poisonous or harmful substances. This distinguishes Ekomille from other approaches of preventing rats.
Inside the trap includes a mini ladder with food bait to lure rodents, while the indicator outside displays the number of mice caught.
When the mouse is attracted by the natural food placed inside and enters the upper layer of the device, the sensor inside the device will be triggered, causing the mouse to automatically fall down into the lower layer of the water tank filled with alcohol and then surpressed quickly. The whole process is fast and humane, which reduces the pain of the mice themselves and minimizes the impact on the environment.
Compared with traditional mouse trapping methods, such as poison bait or mouse glue board, the Ekomille mouse trap does not require frequent monitoring, maintenance, and replacement. The whole device is reusable, and is a more environmentally friendly, safe, hygienic and efficient way of catching mice.
- The rodent control process is fast and humane
