Rodent Control Services in Sri Lanka

Rodent control is essential in Sri Lanka, where rats and mice are commonly found in both urban and rural areas. Belonging to the genus Rodentia, these pests are remarkably adaptable and can thrive in nearly any environment. The most harmful species in the region are the Black rat and Brown rat. If left unchecked, they breed rapidly and can cause serious health hazards and structural damage to your home.

Characteristics of Rodents

Rodents are warm-blooded mammals that use their oversized front teeth to gnaw and their cheek teeth to chew. Like humans, they inhabit environments all over the world. Due to their strong teeth and persistent behavior, they often chew on various materials, damaging furniture, wires, walls, and insulation. Rodents also contaminate food and surfaces with their droppings and urine, spreading diseases and posing serious health risks.

Furthermore, both rats and mice are especially destructive in agricultural settings. They feed on grains, destroy packaging, and ruin stored goods, leading to significant financial losses.
