Sanitation Practices

Sanitation is fundamental to rat control and must be continuous. If sanitation measures are not properly maintained, the benefits of other measures will be lost, and rats will quickly return.

Good housekeeping in and around buildings will reduce available shelter and food sources for Norway and, to some extent, roof rats.
Neat, off-the-ground storage of pipes, lumber, firewood, crates, boxes, gardening equipment, and other household goods will help reduce the suitability of the area for rats and will also make their detection easier.
Garbage, trash, and garden debris should be collected frequently, and all garbage receptacles should have tight-fitting covers.
Where pets are kept and fed outdoors, rats may become a problem if there is a ready supply of pet food. Feed your pet only the amount of food it will eat at a feeding, and store pet food in rodent-proof containers.

Prevention

Seal cracks and openings in building foundations, and any openings for water pipes, electric wires, sewer pipes, drain spouts, and vents. No hole larger than 1/4 inch should be left unsealed to exclude both rats and house mice.
Make sure doors, windows, and screens fit tightly. Their edges can be covered with sheet metal if gnawing is a problem.
Coarse steel wool, wire screen, and lightweight sheet metal are excellent materials for plugging gaps and holes. Plastic sheeting, wood, caulking, and other less sturdy materials are likely to be gnawed away.

Control Treatments

Johnson Group Rodent Control Service

There is no better defense against rodents than a tailor-made treatment plan from Johnson Group. A thorough inspection is a key to a successful rodent control. By looking for some common signs of rodent infestation like runways, droppings and gnaw marks etc, we can then determine the severity of the infestation. This information is then used to choose the appropriate control methods, tools and devices, and to determine when and where to use them.

Goodnature® A24 Rodent Trap Kit

The weatherproof A24 trap kills rodents without toxins or electricity. Once attracted in by a long-life lure for either rats or mice, the rodent enters the trap, and a trigger causes a CO2-powered striker to instantly kill the rodent. The rodent then falls out of the trap and on the ground. The A24 trap automatically resets itself, and the process can repeat itself up to 24 times before the CO2 cartridge needs to be replaced.

Common Types of Rodent

3 common rodent categories found in Hong Kong

House Mouse

Excellent climbers. Can be found in cultivated fields, at or below ground level, or in upper stories of skyscrapers. Mice explore their limited home range of less than 30 feet daily for newly introduced objects. Nocturnal. Most activity and feeding takes place between a half hour after sunset and a half hour before sunrise. Strong social hierarchy. Able to swim.

Mice become sexually mature and able to mate in as little as weeks. In general, sexual maturity is reached in 5 to 8 weeks.

Female mice reporduce up to 8 times in their lifespan, with litters averaging 4 to 7 pups. Therefore, a single female may produce up to 56 offspring a year.

Roof Rat

Alexandrian rat, black rat, fruit rat and ship rat.

Able to swim, jump and climb, roof rats usually enter and nest in upper portions of buildings. May nest outside in trees (especially palm), ivy and similar vegetation. Burrow very little. Nocturnal. Most activity and feeding takes place between a half hour after sunset and a half hour before sunrise. Strong social hierarchy.

Roof rats average 4 to 8 pups per litter, averaging 4 to 6 litters per year.

Norway Rat

Brown rat, gray rat, common rat, house rat, wharf rat, sewer rat, barn rat and water rat.

Norway rats burrow extensively in soil and are excellent swimmers and good climbers. They usually nest in basements and lower portions of buildings. Nocturnal. Most activity and feeding takes place between a half hour after sunset and a half hour before sunrise. Very strong social hierarchy- the biggest and strongest Norway rats get the best food and harborage.

Norway and roof rats become sexually mature and able to mate at 8 to 12 weeks.

Norway rats average 8 to 12 pups per litter, averaging 4 to 7 litters per year.

Life Cycle

Mice and rats reproduce rapidly because of short gestational periods and rapid sexual maturity. The reproductive cycle and number of rodent offspring increases where food and water are adequate, of course, harborage is another factor to their final number.
