2. Control of Field Rats:
Field rats stay in burrows in the ground. They are poor climbers and cannot climb with the help of the pipes to upper floors. They are controlled by fumigation of their burrows. Burrows are fumigated inserting tablets of phosphine gas. The rats die and remain buried in the ground, without any problem of unpleasant odour and disposal of dead bodies.
Prevention from Rats:
In keeping with our maxim that the best control is prevention, we place special emphasis on preventing reinfestation of your premises.
Chemicals can kill rats. They cannot prevent them.
Rats can be prevented only mechanically. This can be done by closing all possible entry points, so that rats cannot enter the premises. If rats cannot be physically prevented reinfestation from surrounding areas may be frequent. In such cases we may be able to only minimise the population of rats and may not be able to eradicate them.
You can avail of this scientific rat control by entering into a service contract with us for a year. There is an initial intensive treatment for about 10 days. This is followed by periodical treatments every three months. |

The above graphic shows the various entry points which rats use to gain access to buildings.
In case the rat infestation is heavy, frequent treatment may be necessary. |

|
 |
 |
Any gaps between a door shutter and the floor should be closed as rats can enter through these. |
 |
 |
Badly fitting door with gaps at the bottom should be reinforced with
metal strip which will make it strong to withstand gnawing by rats |
 |
 |
Rats get in through unplugged pipe holes. These should be completely sealed off. |
