Rodent Control Services in Dharavi
Fast, guaranteed elimination of rats and mice using bait stations, snap traps, and rodent proofing — safe for your family, devastating for rodents
Why Professional Rodent Control is Essential
Serious Disease Risk
Rats and mice spread over 35 diseases including leptospirosis, salmonella, hantavirus, and plague. Their droppings, urine, and saliva contaminate every surface they contact. Professional intervention is the only way to fully eliminate the health risk to your family.
Structural & Electrical Damage
Rodents gnaw through electrical cables — a leading cause of house fires. They damage insulation, water pipes, stored food, and wooden structures. A single pair of rats can cause thousands of rupees in damage within weeks. Early professional treatment prevents escalating costs.
Rapid Infestation Growth
A female rat can produce up to 12 litters per year with 6–12 pups per litter. A small rodent problem can become a large infestation within 6–8 weeks. DIY methods rarely eliminate the full colony. Professional treatment targets both visible rodents and their hidden breeding sites.
Tamper-Resistant Solutions
Our tamper-resistant bait stations are designed for households with children and pets. Rodenticide is secured inside locked stations accessible only to rodents. Combined with snap traps and glue boards, our integrated approach delivers faster results than any single method alone.

Treatment Methods
Proven, tamper-resistant techniques that eliminate rats and mice fast — safe for homes with children and pets
Snap Trap & Bait Station
Professional snap traps and tamper-resistant bait stations are placed along confirmed run paths, near entry points, and at nesting sites. Delivers fast knockdown of active rodents while bait stations provide ongoing colony elimination. Safe for households with children and pets.
Glue Board Monitoring
Professional glue boards are placed in concealed run paths, wall gaps, and below false ceilings for continuous monitoring and capture. Glue boards also serve as activity indicators — showing which routes rodents are using — allowing us to optimise trap and bait placement for faster results.
Rodent Proofing & Exclusion
After elimination, we audit all potential entry points — pipe gaps, drain openings, door gaps, wall cracks — and provide a full proofing report. Physical exclusion using stainless steel mesh, sealant, and door sweeps prevents re-infestation and is the most sustainable long-term rodent solution available.
Rodent Species in Dharavi
Different rodent species require different strategies — our experts identify and target the exact species invading your property.
Largest and most destructive urban rodent. Burrows under buildings, sewers, and drains. Gnaws through concrete, brick, and electrical cables. Responsible for major structural damage in Dharavi homes, warehouses, and restaurants. Requires strong bait stations and snap traps at lower levels.
- Ground-dwelling — active at low levels, under floors and drains
- Gnaws through wires, pipes, and even soft concrete
- Carries leptospirosis — transmitted through urine in flood water
- Neophobic — avoids new objects initially, requires correct placement
Most common rodent inside Dharavi apartments and offices. Tiny enough to enter through a 6mm gap. Contaminate food stores, nests inside cupboards and electrical appliances, and produce up to 80 droppings per day. Often underestimated — quick to establish colonies in hidden cavities.
- Enters through gaps as small as 6mm — extremely difficult to exclude without proofing
- Nests inside electrical appliances — fire risk from gnawed cables
- Produces 40–80 droppings per day — rapid contamination of food surfaces
- Not neophobic — investigates new objects quickly, responds fast to bait placement
Our Rodent Control Process
A systematic 4-step programme — fast elimination followed by permanent exclusion to keep rodents out for good
Rodent Survey
Technician surveys all areas to identify rodent species, locate droppings, gnaw marks, run paths, burrows, and entry points. You receive a full findings report and treatment plan before work begins.
⏳ 30–45 minTrap & Bait Placement
Snap traps, tamper-resistant bait stations, and glue boards are placed at all confirmed activity points. Placement is strategic — maximising encounter rate while keeping stations safe from children and pets.
⏳ 1–2 hrsMonitoring & Reload
Return visit 5–7 days later to check all stations, remove caught rodents, reload bait, and relocate traps to higher activity zones identified since initial placement. Follow-up visits until activity ceases.
⏳ 5–7 days laterProofing & Prevention
Once activity has stopped, all identified entry points are sealed with stainless steel mesh, silicone sealant, and door sweeps. A final inspection confirms premises are rodent-free and proofed for the long term.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about rodent control in Mumbai
Are your rodent control methods safe for children and pets?
+Yes. We use tamper-resistant bait stations that prevent children and pets from accessing rodenticide. Snap traps are placed in concealed locations. All chemicals used are regulated and applied only in areas inaccessible to non-target animals. Our team provides full safety guidance after treatment.
How quickly will rats disappear after treatment?
+Most rodent activity reduces significantly within 3–5 days of bait station and snap trap placement. Full elimination of established infestations typically takes 7–14 days. Rodenticide bait stations may take 5–10 days for population collapse as rodents consume and share the bait.
Do you guarantee rodent elimination?
+Yes. We provide a 30-day guarantee on all rodent control treatments. If rodents return within this period, we re-treat at no additional cost. We also offer AMC plans with regular inspections to ensure long-term rodent-free protection.
What is rodent proofing and is it included?
+Rodent proofing is the sealing of entry points — gaps in walls, pipework holes, door gaps, and utility access points — to prevent re-entry after treatment. Basic proofing advice is included in all treatments. Physical proofing work (mesh, sealant, door sweeps) is available as an add-on service.
Do you treat both rats and mice?
+Yes. We treat Norway rats, roof rats, and house mice. Different species require different trap types, bait placement, and treatment strategies. Our technicians identify the exact species during the survey and tailor the treatment accordingly for maximum effectiveness.
How can I tell if I have rats or mice?
+Rat droppings are 12–18mm spindle-shaped; mouse droppings are 3–6mm grain-shaped. Rat gnaw marks are larger and rougher. Mice leave greasy smear marks along run paths. Rats prefer ground level; mice explore at all heights. Our technician confirms the species during the initial survey.
Do I need to vacate during rodent treatment?
+No evacuation is required for snap trap and bait station treatments. If rodenticide spraying or fumigation is needed for severe infestations, we will advise you in advance. Most standard treatments are completed with the family at home with normal day-to-day activities.
How many visits does rodent control require?
+A standard treatment requires 2–3 visits: initial bait station/trap placement, a check and reload visit 5–7 days later, and a final inspection and proofing visit. Severe infestations may require additional visits. All included within our standard service charge.
Can rodents re-enter after treatment?
+Yes, without proofing they can. Rodents are highly mobile and can re-enter through small gaps (mice can squeeze through a 6mm gap). We strongly recommend combining treatment with physical proofing to seal entry points. Our AMC plans include biannual proofing surveys.
Do you treat commercial properties for rodents?
+Yes. We provide commercial rodent control for restaurants, warehouses, factories, food processing units, hotels, and offices. Our commercial service includes FSSAI-compliant documentation, tamper-resistant bait stations, and monthly monitoring reports.
Which areas in Dharavi do you cover for rodent control?
+We serve all areas of Dharavi and surrounding areas. Same-day emergency service is available across Dharavi for urgent rat infestations. Contact us for coverage in your specific area.
How do I safely clean up after a rodent infestation?
+Before cleaning, ventilate the affected area for at least 30 minutes. Wear disposable gloves and a mask. Spray any droppings, urine stains, or nesting material with a bleach solution (1 part bleach to 10 parts water) and leave for 5 minutes before wiping up with paper towels — never sweep or vacuum dry droppings as this launches hantavirus particles into the air. Bag all material and dispose of it in sealed bags. Wash hands thoroughly. If the infestation was large, our team can assist with safe post-treatment cleanup as an add-on service.
