Learn More About Rodent Singapore’s Worst Nightmare
June 2, 2023
Controlling rodent in Singapore involves a combination of environmental management, exclusion, trapping and baiting. Coupled with innovative strategic control measures rooted in science and best practices, our experts provide detailed insights into how to combat the rodent problem — focusing on the most common species, their habits and how professional pest management offers a sustainable solution.
Norway Rat (Rattus norvegicus)
Recognisable for its dark brown or greyish coat, this species is commonly found in underground sewer systems and basements. They are excellent diggers, often nesting in burrows near food sources or water. Their versatility allows them to invade homes and commercial kitchens — especially where there is an abundant food supply.
Roof Rat (Rattus rattus)
They have no problem getting anywhere once inside the premises, making them difficult to keep out. With their capability to breed all year round and multiply rapidly, roof rats can create the largest rat infestations known. They require a rodent control company with years of knowledge and experience — their management cannot be tackled by the same method as Norway rats.
House Mouse (Mus musculus) — House Mice Singapore
House mice in Singapore are a growing problem in condos and HDB flats, particularly in kitchens and food storage areas. Despite their small size (7–10cm body), they reproduce rapidly — a female can produce up to 12 litters per year with 5–10 pups each. They are nocturnal, highly agile and can squeeze through gaps as small as 6mm.
