Oxynene service guide
Rodent control
Rats and mice can chew wiring, damage insulation and contaminate food storage areas with droppings and urine. Rodent activity can be easy to miss at first, so sightings, scratching sounds, gnaw marks and droppings are worth investigating.
Understand the problem
Signs of rodent activity
Rodent management starts with understanding where activity is occurring and how rodents may be entering the building. An assessment can consider food sources, shelter, access gaps and the best combination of control and prevention measures for the site.
