Maintaining a Disease-Free Environment with Rodent Control
Rodent control is crucial for a healthy environment, as rats can spread numerous diseases. In Africa, rodents reproduce rapidly, making control efforts urgent. Common species in South Africa include the Norway rat, roof rat, and house mouse. Signs of infestation include droppings, gnawing marks, and audible noises. Effective extermination is essential to prevent disease transmission and legal liabilities. Methods include rodenticides, baiting, traps, and roof sealing for long-term prevention.
