Why Rodent Control Matters
A rodent infestation can quickly become a major health, safety and financial issue.
Rats and mice are known to spread harmful bacteria and diseases including:
- Salmonella
- E. coli
- Weil’s Disease (Leptospirosis)
- Hantavirus
- Fleas, ticks and mites
As well as presenting a serious health risk, rodents continually gnaw to keep their teeth short, causing extensive damage to buildings, electrical wiring, insulation, pipework and stock. Left untreated, infestations can lead to expensive repairs, business disruption and regulatory action.
Early intervention is the most effective way to minimise damage and prevent infestations from spreading.

Signs You May Have a Rodent Infestation
Rodents are often active long before they’re seen. Common warning signs include:
- Rodent droppings
- Scratching noises in walls or ceilings
- Gnaw marks on cables, furniture or packaging
- Damaged insulation
- Nests made from shredded paper or packaging
- Food contamination
- Stock damage
- Unpleasant odours
- Grease marks along walls and skirting boards
If you’ve noticed any of these signs, it’s important to arrange a professional inspection as soon as possible.
Rat Control & Mouse Control
The most common commercial rodent pests are:
Rats
Brown rats can quickly establish large colonies around commercial premises, warehouses, food businesses and drainage systems. They contaminate surfaces, damage buildings and pose significant health risks.
Mice
House mice can enter through extremely small gaps and reproduce rapidly. They commonly infest offices, retail units, restaurants, schools and warehouses, contaminating food and damaging equipment.
Our technicians will identify the species present before implementing the most effective treatment programme.
Rodent Proofing & Prevention
Removing rodents is only part of the solution.
Principal Hygiene also provides practical proofing recommendations to help prevent future infestations, including identifying access points and advising on improvements to hygiene, housekeeping and waste management.
Our preventative pest control programmes reduce the likelihood of repeat infestations while supporting your legal responsibilities.
