Pest Control Dublin Branch

The densely populated conurbation of urban Dublin is a haven for pests like rats and mice. As commensal pests rodents have adapted to life in Dublin with ease. Both rats and house mice are omnivorous, consuming anything from contents of rubbish bags and discarded left-overs to the contents of compost bins and fruits and seeds in Dublin's gardens, parks and open spaces.

As Dublin grows, so will its rat problem. More people will provide rats with more opportunities to scavenge food and find shelter, making it more important than ever to proof property against rodents and seek professional rat removal from pest exterminators.

Of the four most common types of mouse in Dublin, the house mouse is by far Dublin’s biggest little pest. As the name suggests they prefer to live indoors, making use of lofts, gaps under floors and cavity wall spaces to nest in. Qualified pest exterminators can offer advice on mouse proofing your home and eradicate an existing mouse infestation.

  What’s scampering around my home a mouse and a rat

  Rodents are commensal pests, which mean they live in close associations with people and are dependent upon us for food, water and shelter. In dense urban areas like Dublin, rats and mice have plenty of opportunity to thrive, so trying to tell which rodent is running round your kitchen isn’t always easy! All rodents have a pair of incisor teeth in the upper jaw, short legs and a long tails, not making it easy to tell the difference between a house mouse and a young rat. The easiest distinguishing feature is the small size of the house mouse at 3-10 cm long. Other things to look for are: 

  • An adult mouse has larger ears and longer tail compared to its body length than a young rat. 
  • A young rat also has distinctly larger feet and head compared to the body than a mouse.

  Dublin Sewer rats – how they get into your toilet

  Rats are great swimmers, being able to hold their breath for up to three minutes. Dublin's sewer system gives rats the opportunity to enter properties where you least expect them. A rat's ribs are hinged at the spine, making it easy for them to squeeze through tight gaps, like the pipes draining your toilet. If you’re concerned keep your toilet lids shut when not in use and look to install a non-return valve in your toilet system.
