Pest control refers to actions aimed at limiting and controlling rodent populations.
Infestations can be observed both outdoors, such as building courtyards, and indoors, such as homes or professional facilities.
The appropriate treatment method depends on the characteristics of the problem.
There are two main categories of methods – chemical and biological.
In chemical methods, bait foods impregnated with rodenticides are used that cause the death of rodents after a few days due to disturbances in their blood.
In biological methods, mechanical or sticky traps with attractive baits are placed to trap unwanted rodents.
When mice live near humans, human health is at risk. Many species of rodents, including mice, are involved in the transmission of various diseases to humans and pets, creating a significant public health issue.
The pathogens that are transmitted can be viruses, bacteria, protozoa, nematodes, etc. Many of them are transmitted either through their feces and urine or through their blood and can then be transmitted to humans by arthropod vectors.
Due to their great importance to public health, it is worth mentioning some of the most important diseases that can be transmitted from mice to humans: plague, leptospirosis, Lyme disease, salmonellosis, various bacterial infections, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, lymphocytic choriomeningitis, rabies and typhus.
Understanding the biology, behavior, and impacts of rodents is important to avoid population control mistakes.
For effective pest control, it is recommended to use safe, closed bait stations with a key. The specific bait stations used by the company are unbreakable, made of durable polypropylene, weatherproof, without sharp corners and black in color. They can only be opened with a special key by authorized personnel.
The use of such bait stations is necessary for many reasons: compliance with legislation and the HACCP system, increased program effectiveness, and maximum safety for humans, animals, and the environment, as the bait remains encased without dispersion.
Rodent control involves the installation of closed bait stations at selected locations, both outdoors and indoors. Inside, approved anticoagulant rodenticides in the form of durable wax cubes are placed. This is followed by continuous monitoring, maintenance and re-baiting by specialized personnel.
The company takes special care not to place open baits, thus ensuring that there is no dispersion into the environment and protecting people and animals from accidental exposure. Anticoagulant rodenticides are odorless, moisture resistant, slow-acting to avoid bait phobia, allowing time for the administration of an antidote if necessary.
