The Rats and Mice population in Durban
Durban and the KwaZulu-Natal region are considered a high risk area for rats and mice. Rodents are more prominent in highly populated areas, due to them being attracted to waste,providing them with ample food sources and shelter. This is a concerning factor, as rodents spread harmful diseases that could impact your health, and your business' reputation.Problem with rodents invading your home
“Rats are more than capable of fitting into space the size of a coin. Their bodies contain soft cartilage which makes it possible for them to squeeze through spaces and gaps that at first glance may appear much too small for them. Small cracks or holes in floors, sidewalk grates or vents are an easy way to get to a warm area.” - Rentokil’s Technical Manager, Mario Pluke.
