Food processing factories, restaurants, supermarkets, and hotels are some of the most vulnerable places for rodent infestation due to the shelter and unlimited food sources they provide.<\/p>\n<p>Rats are dangerous because they carry harmful bacteria that can lead to food contamination and poisoning, as well as severe and contagious diseases like Rat Bite Fever, Leptospirosis, Salmonella, and Hantavirus. In addition, rodents also carry secondary pests like fleas, ticks, and mites in their fur that can transfer to your home or commercial building.&nbsp;<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For these reasons, it\u2019s important to keep rodents under control and away from your premises to protect your health and safety.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"clearboth\"><\/div><style>#thegem-divider-6aa628455ad64 {margin-top: 50px !important;}<\/style><div id=\"thegem-divider-6aa628455ad64\" class=\"gem-divider  \" style=\"\" ><\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-27142\" src=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.avalon-services.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/rat-control.png\" alt=\"rats control\" width=\"100%\" \/>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"clearboth\"><\/div><style>#thegem-divider-6aa628455ad71 {margin-top: 50px !important;}<\/style><div id=\"thegem-divider-6aa628455ad71\" class=\"gem-divider  \" style=\"\" ><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1630896235524{margin-bottom: 0px !important;background-color: #f7f8fa !important;}&#8221;][vc_column]<div class=\"clearboth\"><\/div><style>#thegem-divider-6aa628455ad7e {margin-top: 30px !important;}<\/style><div id=\"thegem-divider-6aa628455ad7e\" class=\"gem-divider  \" style=\"\" ><\/div>[vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;fadeIn&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"title-h2\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>How do rats enter your home or commercial space?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"clearboth\"><\/div><style>#thegem-divider-6aa628455ad8a {margin-top: 30px !important;}<\/style><div id=\"thegem-divider-6aa628455ad8a\" class=\"gem-divider  \" style=\"\" ><\/div>[vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rats and mice are flexible creatures that can easily squeeze into small spaces.

Here is what you need to do:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Confirm if there are really rodents by inspecting for droppings, gnaw marks, and nests.<\/li>\n<li>Upon confirmation, seal every crack, gap, and hole that you can find, as they may serve as entrances for rodents.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure there are no food sources and the areas are thoroughly clean.<\/li>\n<li>Use appropriate traps or bait and strategically place them where you think there is rodent activity.<\/li>\n<li>Contact a pest control professional if the infestation is severe or if DIY efforts aren\u2019t working.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Note: Prioritise safety when dealing with rodents because they may carry diseases.
