3 common rodent categories found in Hong Kong

House Mouse

(other names: common house mouse and domestic house mouse)

Habits:

Excellent climbers. Can be found in cultivated fields, at or below ground level, or in upper stories of skyscrapers.

Norway rats burrow extensively in soil and are excellent swimmers and good climbers. They usually nest in basements and lower portions of buildings. Nocturnal.

(Norway Rat)

Life Cycle

Able to mate in as little as 5 weeks. Generally, sexual maturity is reached in 5 to 12 weeks of age
Gestation period ranged from 19-23 days
Female mice reproduce up to 8 times in their lifespan, with litters averaging 4 to 7 pups. Norway rats average 8 to 12 pups per litter, averaging 4 to 7 litters per year. Roof rats average 4 to 8 pups per litter, averaging 4 to 6 litters per year.

Living skills and habits

Skills and habits: Able to jump up to 1 meter high. Excellent  climbers and swimmers. Travel distance for  rat is 30-50m, while mice is 5-10m
Runways: Paths will form between feeding and harborage areas. They prefer to move along objects.
Gnawing : Fresh gnaw marks are light and will darken over time. Scratch-like marks, approximately 1/16 inch, are made by mice. Clear 1/8 inch gnaw marks are made by rats

Method 1: Trapping (Snap/Mechanical Traps in conjunction with glue board) Non-Toxic Approach • Identify rodent pathways and place traps accordingly; For mechanical traps, the ideal placements in commercial facilities are along both sides of interior and exterior doorways • Common attractants include peanut butter, chocolate frosting and nutella • When children and pets are present, place snap traps in tamper-resistant bait stations • Keep rodent glue board free of dust, debris and moisture • Suitable for sensitive areas where rodenticide use is not permitted

Method 2: Rodenticide application (Bait placements) • Effective for serious infestation • Choose the right bait for the job • Place bait where rodents travel • Proper number of bait placements (every 15 to 30 feet) • Read the rodenticide label before placing bait • Use bait stations wherever safety is a concern • Eliminate the rodents' food, water and harborage wherever possible Rodenticide (Ingredients: Bromadiolone or Brodifacoum) • Single dose for blood clotting • Exterminate rats in 4-5 days • Packed in plastic bags or direct bait placements Warfarin and coumatetralyl • Multiple dose for blood clotting • Exterminate rates in 4-5 days

Method 3: Repelling         Install Ultrasonic Rodent Repelling Device

Extruded Blox Bait (weatherable)

Bait Stations

Meal/Seed bait

Rodent Glue Board

Ultrasonic Rodent Repelling Device

Preventive measures

Prevent rodents invasion by modifying the structure of building (exclusion) and the most important the environmental hygiene (Sanitation)

Aims
Stop rats building nest and confine their area of movement
Avoid future rodents infestation

Methods
Use gnaw-proof materials to prevent rats chewing, climbing into the premises
Block all holes and cracks (1/4 inch) especially walls between rooms and flats

Close outside doors tightly when not in use

Eliminate debris in and around buildings and grounds

Clean up food waste and spillage daily

Eliminate water sources available to rodents

Particulars
Patch opening using steel sheeting, galvanized steel and concrete
Holes may be plugged with steel wool or copper mesh prior to patching
Install tight-fitting weather stripping on the bottom of all pedestrian doors and overhead doors
