Rodents such as rats and mice are more than just an annoyance—they’re destructive, dangerous, and hard to eliminate once they invade. Whether you live in Lahore, run an office in Islamabad, or manage a store in Rawalpindi, rodent infestations can damage property, contaminate food, and spread serious diseases.
In this blog, Eco Defend shares expert and practical tips on how to rodent-proof your property in Pakistan for both residential and commercial spaces.
Why Rodent-Proofing is Essential in Pakistan
Due to Pakistan’s diverse climate and dense urban environments, rodents thrive in homes, restaurants, warehouses, and even office buildings. Common species like the roof rat, Norway rat, and house mouse can enter buildings through holes as small as 1/4 inch.
Risks of Rodent Infestation:
Chewed wires and fire hazards
Contaminated food and water
Spread of diseases like leptospirosis, salmonella, and hantavirus
Structural damage to insulation and wood
Business disruption and failed health inspections
Rodent-Proofing Tips for Homes and Businesses
🔍 Seal Entry Points
Inspect walls, doors, ceilings, and utility entryways. Use steel wool, caulk, or metal mesh to seal cracks, gaps, and holes. Focus on:
Wall baseboards
Under sinks
Roof joints
Around pipes and vents
Pro Tip: In cities like Faisalabad and Gujranwala, rodents often enter from rooftops or broken sewage lines—have those checked regularly.
🧹 Maintain Cleanliness
Rodents are attracted to leftover food and water leaks. Ensure:
All food is stored in airtight containers
Trash is taken out daily and bins have tight-fitting lids
No stagnant water is left under AC units or kitchen sinks
🌿 Trim Outdoor Access
Trim trees and bushes at least 3 feet away from walls. Stack firewood and boxes 18 inches off the ground. This removes hiding and climbing paths used by rodents to enter the property.
🚫 Avoid Clutter
Rodents love to hide in unused rooms, storage boxes, and cluttered spaces. Keep warehouses, basements, and store rooms organised and clutter-free.
🧪 Use Traps & Rodent Deterrents
Set snap traps, glue boards, or electronic rodent repellents near high-activity areas. Safe bait stations can also help but should be used with caution in homes with kids or pets.
