Rodent Control

Rodent control consists of performing a series of physical, chemical, or mechanical treatments that eliminate or drive away the presence of rodents, always taking into account prevention, surveillance, and control.

Its success does not depend on the rodenticide applied, but on the application methodology, in which Gimasur has extensive training and proven experience in the most difficult situations, making sustainable use of rodenticides, seeking respect for the environment with the safety of people and businesses.

Types of Rats in Spain

The species of rats and mice present in Andalusia and Spain are the following:

• Brown or Norway rat (Rattus norvegicus)
• Black or roof rat (Rattus rattus)
• House mouse (Mus musculus).

Why Rodent Control is Important

Rodent infestations are among the most feared as they transmit numerous diseases and can cause serious damage, which is why it is necessary to act quickly when a rat or mouse infestation is suspected.

Their risk to public health is transmitted through their droppings and urine, causing serious diseases such as Hantavirus infections, Viral hemorrhagic fever, Q fever, leptospirosis or Weil’s disease, cryptosporidiosis, and even bubonic or black plague.

Rodents are highly adaptable animals capable of colonizing any urban environment such as the sewer system and accessing the interior of homes (false ceilings, pantries, and garages), premises, and food industries in search of food and shelter.

For businesses, it is essential to control these types of pests, as they can cause numerous losses, both in electrical installations and food products, due to the damage caused by rodents, and can even affect the company’s reputation.

In this case, Gimasur Ambiental offers its services for control and prevention of rodent infestations, establishing a specific prevention plan for each facility to drive away rodents.
