Rat & Mice Control in Durban

Rats & Mice Control in Durban

Durban's subtropical climate and dense coastal vegetation support year-round rodent activity, with brown rats particularly common near the city's waterways and older storm drain networks in suburbs like Umbilo and the harbour precinct. Roof rats are frequently reported in older homes with mature garden trees close to the roofline.

Signs You Have a Rats & Mice Problem

• Gnaw marks on wiring, pipes, or food packaging
• Rodent droppings in cupboards, behind appliances, or in roof spaces
• Scratching or scurrying sounds at night
• Greasy smear marks along walls and skirting boards

Treatment Methods Used in Durban

• Tamper-resistant bait stations placed around the property perimeter
• Roof void inspection and targeted baiting
• Entry point proofing — gaps in walls, pipes, vents, and rooflines
• Snap traps and live capture traps for indoor use
