Rodent / Rat Control

Reliable Rodent Control Solutions for Homes & Businesses

Rats and mice are among the most damaging pests in Bhubaneswar homes and commercial premises. A rodent infestation causes structural damage (gnawed wires, pipes, and insulation), contaminates food supplies, and spreads serious diseases including leptospirosis, salmonellosis, and hantavirus. If you hear scratching sounds in your walls, ceiling, or under floorboards — or find gnaw marks, droppings, or damaged food packaging — you have a rodent problem that requires professional intervention.

Magic Broom’s rodent control service in Bhubaneswar combines multiple integrated approaches: strategic trapping, tamper-resistant bait stations, and structural exclusion — to eliminate the current infestation and prevent future entry.

Disease transmission — rodents spread leptospirosis, rat-bite fever, salmonella, and hantavirus through droppings, urine, and bites
Fire hazard — rats gnaw through electrical wiring, creating short circuits. Rodent-related electrical fires are a significant risk in Bhubaneswar's older buildings
Food contamination — a single rat contaminates far more food than it consumes through droppings and urine trails
Structural damage — rodents gnaw through PVC pipes, insulation, plywood, and soft concrete to create nesting spaces
Rapid reproduction — a female rat produces 5–12 litters per year, with each litter containing 6–12 pups. A small problem becomes a large infestation within weeks

Tamper-Resistant Bait Stations

We place lockable, tamper-resistant bait stations along rodent runways, entry points, and nesting areas — inside and outside your property. These stations contain WHO-approved rodenticide bait that is safe for use around children

Mechanical Trapping

High-efficiency snap traps and glue boards are deployed in strategic locations. Mechanical trapping provides rapid knockdown of active rodent populations and allows for confirmation of rodent activity levels through catches.

Structural Exclusion

Eliminating rodents without sealing entry points is temporary. Our technicians identify and seal or block all entry points — gaps around pipes, AC ducts, ventilation grilles, door sweeps, and roof joins — using rodent-proof materials including wire mesh, metal flashing, and expanding foam. This step is critical for long-term rodent control.

Burrow Treatment

For external rodent burrows around the property perimeter, garden, and drainage areas, we apply burrow fumigant and seal active burrows. This eliminates the breeding ground outside the property that feeds indoor infestations.

0 X7

Q: How do I know if I have rats or mice?

A: Rat droppings are larger (12–18mm, capsule-shaped); mouse droppings are smaller (3–6mm, pointed). Rats gnaw larger holes and leave grease marks along walls. Our inspection will confirm the species and severity.

Q: Is rodenticide bait safe around children and pets?

A: Yes. Magic Broom uses tamper-resistant, lockable bait stations that prevent access by children and pets. The rodenticide is placed securely inside the station. Please do not attempt to open or move bait stations.

Q: Will there be a smell from dead rats inside walls?

A: The anticoagulant rodenticide we use causes dehydration, which greatly reduces odour compared to older poisons. We also recommend burrow treatment and exclusion to prevent rodents from dying in inaccessible wall cavities.

Q: How quickly does rodent control work?

A: You should see a significant reduction in activity within 5–7 days. Bait stations and traps are monitored at follow-up visits. Full control typically takes 14–21 days for moderate infestations.

Q: Can you prevent rodents from entering my property?

A: Yes. Structural exclusion is included in our full rodent control service. We identify and seal all entry points — pipe gaps, ventilation, door seals, and roof joins — using rodent-proof materials.

Q: Do you offer rodent control for restaurants and food businesses?

A: Yes. We offer FSSAI-compliant rodent control AMC packages for restaurants, hotels, canteens, food warehouses, and retail stores in Bhubaneswar and across Odisha. Monthly monitoring reports provided.

Q: Is one treatment enough to get rid of rats?

A: For light infestations, a single treatment plus exclusion is often sufficient. For moderate-to-severe infestations, two treatment visits (14 days apart) are recommended. Our warranty ensures we return if activity continues.
