Deratization
Deratization, or rodent control, refers to all measures intended to reduce rodent populations in a given area.
The aim of rodent control is to reduce rodent populations to a level where they no longer pose a threat to human or animal health. Rodent control measures also help limit the economic damage caused by rodents.
Keeping buildings and their surroundings clean is essential to restricting the movement and reproduction of rodents. Rodents must be prevented from entering buildings freely. This is achieved by properly sealing the building's exterior. Doors should be opened only to let people or goods pass through and should not be used for ventilation.
Preventive rodent control involves keeping poison or traps permanently in place. These must be positioned to prevent unintended harm. Traps and poison must be checked regularly.
