Norway Rats (Brown Rats)
Large, aggressive, found in drains and sewers
Common in F&B and waste storage areas
Roof Rats (Black Rats)
Slimmer, good climbers, often found in ceilings and attics
House Mice
Small and fast breeders, often infest kitchens and storerooms
All of these rodents can squeeze through tiny openings and multiply quickly especially where food and shelter are available.
Rodents pose risks to your health, safety, and business.
Health hazards:
Carry diseases like leptospirosis, salmonella, and hantavirus
Contaminate food, surfaces, and water sources
Cause allergic reactions and respiratory issues
Property damage:
Chew wires (risk of fire)
Gnaw wood, plastic, and even concrete
Leave droppings and urine in hard-to-reach places
Nest inside walls, ceilings, and kitchen equipment
For businesses (especially F&B), even one rat sighting can lead to bad reviews, lost customers, or health inspection penalties.
