Rodent Control

Commercial Rat And Mice Control For Your Business

Rodents, such as rats and mice, can be a menace to any commercial property. From causing millions of dollars in damages to equipment and structures, fire hazard to potential health and safety risks associated with rats and mice droppings. The worst part is that no commercial facility is immune to a potential rodent takeover, making the importance of a professional rodent control program vital to the operations of your facility.

How Orkin Canada Helps Control The Rodent Issue On Your Commercial Property

Orkin Canada offers a variety of commercial rodent control solutions that are both effective, safe and humane. These rodent control solutions use a combination of non-chemical methods, exclusion and habitat modification strategies to get the job done, with the use of rodenticides only as a last resort and only if needed.

In an effort to provide low-impact solutions, Orkin Canada also offers a variety of rodenticide free options. Contact your local Orkin Canada branch for more information.

Exclusion and Rodent Proofing Services

Rats and mice can sneak into the tiniest of spaces, exposing your facility to a potential rodent infestation. Orkin Canada’s exclusion services will inspect  for any vulnerable rodent pressures points  on your commercial property, such as gaps in doors seals and voids within the building foundation/walls or entry-points that may provide easy access for rodents. Exclusion efforts are a critical part of any Integrated Rodent Management solution and will ensure your building is protected against rodents.

Habitat Modification

One of the best ways to keep rodents away from your business is to ensure they don’t come inside in the first place. Your Orkin Canada technician will accomplish this through habitat modification. The prevention process will help create pest-proofing measures such as reducing food sources, eliminating available water, eliminating harbourage spots and making the habitat unwelcoming for rodents.

Trapping Services

Orkin Canada’s mandate is to use the most ecological friendly strategies to control and manage rodents, one of which is the use of mechanical trapping services that can include:

Snap Traps

These devices allow for the control of mice and rats without the use of any liquid treatments and are both eco-friendly and effective. Snap traps are the oldest form of rodent trap. Because of the size and simple construction of these traps, your Orkin Canada technician may use many snap traps in high rodent activity areas. They will ensure to keep traps out of sight in order to avoid alarming customers and staff.

Multi-Catch Live Trapping

Multi-catch live traps use a rodent’s natural tendency to investigate and wiggle into holes. In these traps, the rodents can get in but cannot get out. This is often through a mechanism triggered by touch. When the rodent goes into the trap, the mechanism is triggered, closing the door and trapping the rat inside. Once captured, the rodents can be humanely released.

Use Of Bait Stations

Exterior Bait Stations

As primary line of defense, bait stations on the exterior of your facility provide an easy way to effectively control outdoor rodent population. Using an anchored tamper resistant locked unit, treated bait is spiked in placed inside to attract the rodents.

Common Industries Susceptible to Rodent Infestations

Though rodents may find their way into any commercial business, certain industries and facilities are more susceptible to rodent infestations than others. The most common industries that may be more prone to rodent infestations could include:

• Restaurants and Food Services (Fast Food Restaurants, Fine Dining Restaurants)
• Food Processing & Packaging Facilities
• Multi-Family Buildings (Condos and Apartments)
• Grocery Stores
• Warehousing & Logistics
• Cannabis Industry
• Wine Industry
• Waste Management
