Rodent Control in Dubai

The rodent problem in Dubai apartments and villas

Rodents in Dubai properties are almost always an entry-point problem. The warm climate, abundant food waste, and irrigation infrastructure around residential communities create ideal conditions — but the reason they end up in your flat or villa is typically one unsealed gap: a loose drain cover, an AC unit void with a missing cover, or a gap in a utility access panel.

In Deira and Bur Dubai, aging drainage infrastructure means rodents enter from shared sewer lines through corroded drain covers. In villa communities like Arabian Ranches or JVC, they enter from the garden perimeter through gaps at the base of walls or utility access hatches. The treatment is different in each case, which is why we inspect before recommending.

What you get

• Full inspection — Identify species (mice vs rats), entry points, harborage areas, and infestation severity
• Trapping — Mechanical snap traps and humane catch-and-release options on request
• Tamper-resistant bait stations — Placed at harborage points and along travel routes. DM-approved rodenticide formulas
• Exclusion sealing — Close drain access covers, AC voids, utility gaps with appropriate pest-proof materials (steel wool, expanding foam, mesh)
• Follow-up visit — Included for all rodent treatments. Check bait consumption, trap results, and seal any newly discovered entry points
• 90-day warranty — If rodents return to treated areas within 90 days, we re-treat free

Mice vs rats — different treatment approach

House mice (Mus musculus)

Small (~8cm body), grey-brown, pointed nose. Nesting inside properties — in wall cavities, behind appliances, under kitchen units. Reproduce very fast: a pair can produce 60+ offspring in 3 months. Snap traps + bait stations + exclusion of entry gaps under 10mm diameter.

Roof rats / Norway rats

Larger (~20cm body), travel along pipes and drainage. Roof rats are agile climbers and enter from roof access points and drainage penetrations above ground level. Norway rats burrow and enter from below. Both require different placement of bait stations and different exclusion approaches.

"We've seen villas where the owner has been catching rodents for months but they keep coming back. Every time: the drain access cover in the garden was missing its seal. One 30-minute exclusion job and the problem stops permanently."
