6 Signs You Have a Rodent Infestation on Your Property
Rats and mice are rarely seen by day. They are mostly nocturnal, coming out at night in search of food and water. So, you need to keep your eyes open for the following signs to detect their presence in your space.
01
Rodent Droppings In and Near Food and Storage Areas
One of the biggest signs of rodent activity is finding droppings in cupboards, pantry shelves, storage rooms and along skirting boards. If there are fresh droppings, it means rodents are using the area. Fresh droppings are usually dark, soft, and shiny.
Most common sign 02
Furniture and Wrapping Bite Marks
Rodents are always gnawing to keep their teeth from growing too long. Signs indicating an active infestation often include bite marks on food packaging, wooden furniture, electrical cables, plastic containers, and cardboard boxes.
03
Grease Stains on the Walls
Rats and mice run the same routes over and over again, and the oils and dirt on their fur leave dark smudges on walls, pipes, beams and other surfaces. The tracks are often an indication of the routes rodents use to move around your property.
04
Sounds of Scratching at Night
You may hear scratching, scurrying or squeaking from ceilings, walls, roof spaces and under floors. You’ll often hear these sounds more clearly at night when the rodents are active.
05
Nesting Materials in Crevices
Rodents construct nests from shredded paper, fabric, cardboard, insulation and other soft materials. Finding these items together in an overlooked place may indicate a nearby nesting site.
06
Tracks And Prints
In dusty environments such as a warehouse, storage room, ceiling voids and utility spaces, rodent detection becomes easy via footprints, tail marks, or pathways of regular rodent movement. Scratching sounds in the walls? Most rodents are shy and stay out of sight, so the activity you see is usually only a small part of the problem. Professional rodent control will find nesting sites, entry points, and feeding areas to eliminate the infestation at its source.

Why You Shouldn’t Ignore a Rodent Problem?
If you witness even a single rodent in your space, you should immediately rush to call a rodent control service. That is because there are severe repercussions if you let them fester. Allow us to talk about it.
Transmission of Disease
Rats and mice are carriers of deadly diseases that can be transmitted through their urine, faeces, saliva and nesting materials. Contamination of surfaces and food products can endanger the safety of residents and employees.
Damage to Electrical Systems and Property
Electrical wiring, insulation, timber and pipework are often gnawed by rodents. Faulty wiring can lead to short circuits and electrical fires, and structural damage can often be costly to repair.
Contaminants in Food
Rodents contaminate food stocks, preparation areas and storage facilities with droppings, urine and direct contact. This can cause serious hygiene problems for homes, restaurants, warehouses and food-related businesses.
Population Growth
A small rodent problem can become a serious infestation very quickly. Rats and mice breed all year round, and a delay in treatment often results in several generations becoming established on the property.
Four Methods We Use to Remove Rodents
Each rodent problem is different. The treatment method we advise will depend on the type of rodent, the size of the property and the degree of infestation.
Rodent Baiting Stations
Moderate to heavy infestations, exterior perimeter defence
7–14 days Ongoing with servicing
How It Works
Secure bait stations are placed around the perimeter of the property and around identified activity areas. These stations help control rodent populations while keeping children, pets and nontarget animals out.
Snap Traps
Interior use, sensitive environments, quick knockdown
1–7 days Immediate
How It Works
Mechanical traps are located strategically along rodent pathways, near nesting areas and around active zones. This technique is fast and is primarily employed in delicate environments where chemical baths are not appropriate.
Exclusion and Rodent Proofing
Long-term prevention, recurring infestations
1–3 days Permanent
How It Works
Sealing entry points is the best solution long term. We locate and seal all entry points around pipes, doors, vents, utility lines, roof spaces and other access points to prevent rodents from re-entering the property.
Systems Monitoring
Commercial properties, ongoing surveillance
Continuous 24/7 surveillance
How It Works
Monitoring systems can also be useful for commercial or high risk properties, to monitor rodent activity and give early warning signs of future infestations. They support routine inspections and ongoing pest management programs.
Debug typically combines bait stations and snap traps for immediate population reduction, followed by exclusion work to prevent re-entry. For commercial properties, electronic monitoring systems provide ongoing surveillance between scheduled service visits. Residential clients benefit from a combined baiting, trapping, and proofing programme tailored to the species identified during inspection.

We use a systematic rodent removal process to ensure that every rodent is eliminated with minimum chances of coming back. Allow us to walk you through the process.
01
Rodent Inspection and Mapping of Entry Points
Our technicians will visit your property and determine if there are rats or mice on the property, identify where they are nesting, gauge the level of infestation and locate points of entry the rodents are using to gain access.
~ 60 minutes
02
Trapping and Baiting
Once activity areas are located, bait stations and traps are strategically placed to reduce the existing rodent population.
Population knockdown
03
Exclusion and Testing
After the population is taken care of, we seal any gaps, holes and access points around the property to prevent rodents from entering in the future.
Permanent barrier
04
Monitoring and Tracking
We return to monitor activity levels, check treatment areas, refill bait stations and confirm that the infestation has been completely eradicated.

Six Tips to Keep Your Property Rodent Free
Professional treatment can rid you of an active infestation but good maintenance practices can help you prevent rodents from coming back. While we do our part as a top professional rodent control service to keep your space rodent-free, here are six ways you can do yours.
01
Seal Gaps Around Your Home
Rodents can get in through the smallest of gaps around pipes, doors, vents and utility lines. Prevention is one of the most effective ways of closing these gaps.
02
Store Your Food Securely
Store food, pet food and dry goods in sealed containers. Rodents are less likely to be attracted if you clear up crumbs and spills quickly.
03
Fix Water Sources
Leaking pipes, dripping taps, air-conditioning drainage and standing water provide rodents with a constant supply of water. Fixing them offers the rodents less incentive to invade your space.
04
Landscaping Service
Overgrown vegetation, thick shrubbery and tree branches that reach the building can provide cover and easy access for rodents. Trimming them removes this easy path.
05
Proper Waste Disposal
Bins must be regularly emptied and lids should be on them. Waste storage areas should be clean and located away from building entrances where possible.
06
Schedule Routine Inspections
Regular inspections can help you spot the early signs of rodent activity before an infestation develops. This is especially important for warehouses, restaurants, retail outlets and food storage facilities. You can sign up for Debug’s Annual Maintenance Contract to ensure your property remains pest-free.
What are the Costs of Professional Rodent Control Services?
The cost of professional rodent control services in the UAE depends on numerous factors. Below are some of them.
Size of Property
Larger properties require more bait stations, traps, proofing and inspection time than smaller residential properties.
Scale of the Infestation
Generally speaking, a small mouse problem will be less expensive to solve than a large infestation with multiple nesting sites and a great deal of rodent activity.
Scope of Exclusion Work
One of the main determinants of the cost of treatment is the number of entry points that have to be sealed. Properties with more than one access point will generally require more proofing work.
Monitoring Requirements
Some properties require one-off treatment, others will benefit from monitoring and maintenance programmes to keep them protected over the long-term.

Common questions about rodent control, rat and mouse treatment, and rodent prevention in UAE properties.
The six most common signs of rodent infestation are: droppings near food sources and along skirting boards, gnaw marks on cables and packaging, dark grease rub marks along walls and pipes, scratching or scurrying sounds at night, shredded nesting material in sheltered areas, and tracks or footprints in dusty spaces. If you notice any of these signs, contact Debug for a free inspection immediately.
The three rodent species most common in the UAE are the Norway rat (Rattus norvegicus), roof rat (Rattus rattus), and house mouse (Mus musculus). Norway rats are large (up to 500 g), prefer ground-level burrows near water, and produce blunt-ended droppings. Roof rats are slimmer, excellent climbers that nest in lofts and ceiling voids. House mice are much smaller (12–30 g), can squeeze through gaps as small as 6 mm, and produce pointed droppings. Treatment approach differs by species — Debug identifies the species during inspection to tailor the programme accordingly.
Rodent treatment cost in the UAE depends on property size, infestation severity, scope of exclusion work required, and whether ongoing monitoring is needed. Debug provides a detailed quote after a free on-site inspection — no hidden fees. One-off treatments and ongoing service contracts are priced separately. Call 800 7890 for a free rodent inspection and quote.
Yes. Debug uses tamper-resistant bait stations that are locked and secured — children and pets cannot access the rodenticide inside. In sensitive environments such as nurseries, hospitals, and homes with small children or pets, Debug prioritises snap traps and exclusion work over chemical baiting. All products used are municipality-approved and BPCA-endorsed.
Debug's rodent treatment programme typically takes 7–14 days for full population control. Day 0: free on-site inspection and species identification. Days 1–3: bait stations and snap traps deployed. Days 7–14: population reduction confirmed and exclusion work completed. Follow-up visits are scheduled to verify that all activity has ceased and exclusion measures are holding.
Exclusion work is the process of physically sealing every entry point that rodents use to access your property. Debug technicians seal gaps greater than 6 mm for mice and 20 mm for rats using galvanised steel mesh, steel wool, cement, metal kick plates, and bristle strip door sweeps. This is the most effective long-term rodent prevention method — without exclusion, rodents will return even after baiting and trapping.
