Recommendations Introduction Rats and mice cause a huge loss of food world-wide. Besides eating our food they spoil it by contamination with their faeces, urine or fur.
Rodents contaminate ten times more food than they eat.
They can be found not only in our homes, but supermarkets, restaurants, warehouses, industrial premises, food processing facilities, livestock facilities and farms. They cause damage to our buildings by their need to constantly gnaw to keep their incisor teeth from growing too long which would cause the rodent great discomfort. Rodents will gnaw through many types of material in order to reach a location including lead piping, brick, aluminium and even concrete. Hygiene is the first line of defence. You usually don't have an abundance of rodents without enough food and shelter provided.
