Get Rid of Rats Before They Multiply
Rodents like rats and mice are becoming a major pest problem in Singapore. We see most sightings in the rainy season. Rodents thrive in places like bin centres, drains and refuse chutes. They are a major health and economic risk to homes and businesses. Rats can spread diseases, bite people, contaminate food, and even cause fires and reputation damage.
Did You Know? A single pair of rats can grow into 2,000 rats in just one year if left uncontrolled. Don’t wait till the problem gets worse. Schedule a rodent pest control inspection and treatment today.
Health Hazards
Rats and mice can carry dangerous bacteria and viruses. You can get infected through their droppings, urine and saliva. Even fleas and mites on their bodies can spread the pathogens indirectly. This can cause serious diseases, which could lead to kidney damage, meningitis, liver failure and fatal respiratory diseases.

- Hantavirus
- Rat Bite Fever

Fire & Structural Damage
Rodent infestation can lead to significant costs for homeowners and businesses. They cause infrastructure damage, such as power trips, water leaks, or even fire hazards. Rodents have powerful teeth and can gnaw on almost anything.

Rodent Control Methods We Use
Rodents can cause serious consequences. Relying only on DIY methods to control a rodent infestation can work against your long-term safety and hygiene. It is better to get professional pest control, which will fully remove and monitor the problem. Experts also offer long-term prevention. At Pest Free, we use advanced integrated pest management rodent control that targets the root cause and prevents re-infestation.
We also provide customised solutions for sensitive places like food factories and pharmaceutical plants that follow ISO or HACCP standards.
Live Traps
The first and most common line of defence against rodents is a live trap. We use a combination of snap traps, glue traps, and cages to quickly reduce rodent activity.
These traps work fast and help with the instant disposal of dead rats and no bad smell is left behind. They are also safe for areas with pets or children.
Poison Baits
Rat poison, like zinc phosphide and cholecalciferol, may be used for large or repeated infestations.
Our trained professionals ensure safety and proper results. We use poison baits with rodenticides in strategic areas to help control rat numbers. The baits are hidden in tamper-proof boxes away from pets and children.
Pest Proofing
Rats can squeeze through tiny gaps as small as 1cm. We seal up holes and clear out their nests and hiding places to stop rats from coming inside your establishment.
We use materials like wire mesh, sealant, or steel wool to block entry points around pipes and doors. This helps prevent future infestations in both homes and businesses.
Signs You Might Have a Rodent Problem
Rats rarely come alone. If you spot one rat, there are likely more nearby. In Singapore, the three common types of rats are sewer rats, roof rats, and house mice. Sewer rats live underground and roof rats hide in high places like ceilings and attics. Warm temperatures and high precipitation are known to increase rat numbers.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How do you stop a rat infestation?
Store-bought traps are helpful to remove one or two rodents from your home or business. However, they are not enough for eradicating a large-scale infestation. Rodents, such as rats, are smart and challenging to control. Some DIY tools, like the ultrasonic pest repeller device for small rodents, have been shown to have limited effectiveness.
It is best to call your local rodent pest control companies to help you get rid of rats.
How to get rid of rats without poison or traps?
If you want to control rats without the use of bait stations or rodenticide, putting up barriers in entry points can help prevent them from entering. Caulk, steel wool, or wire mesh can be installed to block holes and cracks. One natural way to keep rodent pollution at bay is to include owls and cats in the surrounding environment.
Are the rodent treatments safe for kids and pets?
Yes. We use NEA-approved chemicals and safety protocols. All bait stations and traps are placed in secure, tamper-proof areas. This keeps your family and pets safe.
Do I need to leave my house during the treatment?
In most cases, there is no need to leave your house during rodent pest control. Our treatments are safe and targeted. You may have to vacate your property during large-scale baiting or fumigation.
How long does it take to get rid of rodents completely?
It depends on how serious the infestation is. Minor cases can be resolved in one visit. However, bigger problems may need a few weeks of monitoring and follow-up. We will keep you updated every step of the way.
Is there any warranty or aftercare?
Yes, we provide follow-up visits and aftercare advice. Please contact our team to learn more about our maintenance options.
