Question 1

How does rat control work?

Accepted Answer

Our specialist inspects the property and analyses the cause of the problem. Based on the findings, a plan of action is drawn up. Where necessary, materials are placed alongside instructions for prevention and follow-up.

Question 2

How many visits are required?

Accepted Answer

For private homes and gardens, the specialist usually visits once. You are then responsible for monitoring and follow-up based on the given instructions. For businesses and institutions, a structural approach with multiple visits is standard.

Question 3

Which methods are used?

Accepted Answer

The method depends on the situation:
- **Private homes**: inspection + materials with instructions
- **Business premises**: modern catch boxes installed along walls, courtyards and premises
- **Public facilities**: EKO-1000 catch systems without toxic bait
- **Schools and care institutions**: safe, discrete EKO-1000 system

Question 4

Why are rodenticides (rat poison) used less often?

Accepted Answer

New regulations since 2023 have significantly restricted the use of rodenticides on private property. We therefore rely increasingly on modern, mechanical catch systems. More information is available on our rodenticide control page.

Question 5

What are the most common causes of rat infestations?

Accepted Answer

- **Waste**: litter or bin bags left outside too long attract rats quickly
- **Animal feed**: chicken feed and bird seed are major attractants
- **Sewage**: damaged sewer pipes can provide access for rats
