Scratching noises in the ceiling at night, chewed cables behind the TV, or droppings in the kitchen cupboard are signs that rodents have moved in. Rats and mice contaminate food, damage wiring, and spread disease, and a small problem can grow into a serious one in weeks. Professional rodent control removes the animals and, just as importantly, closes the routes that let them in.
Our rodent control service in Abu Dhabi protects homes and businesses in Khalifa City, Al Reem Island, Yas Island, Saadiyat Island, Mohammed Bin Zayed City, Al Raha, Al Bateen, and Mussafah. We use inspection led, humane-minded methods that deliver lasting results.
Why Rodents Target Abu Dhabi Properties
Rodents follow food, water, and shelter, and Abu Dhabi offers plenty of all three. Busy restaurants, waste collection points, landscaped gardens, date palms, construction sites, and shared drainage networks support large populations. Rats climb pipes and palm trunks to reach roof spaces, while mice squeeze through gaps as small as a coin.
Rodent Species We Deal With
Roof Rats
Agile climbers that nest in ceilings, palm crowns, and upper floors. They are the usual cause of noise overhead in villas.
Norway Rats
Larger and heavier, they burrow near drains, basements, and ground floor storage, and are common around waste areas.
House Mice
Small and quick breeders, mice settle inside cupboards, wall voids, and storerooms and need very little food or water.
Each species has different habits, so correct identification shapes the treatment plan.
Health and Property Risks
Rodents spread bacteria through droppings and urine, and contaminate food preparation areas. Their constantly growing teeth drive them to gnaw on electrical cables, water pipes, insulation, and AC ducting, which can lead to short circuits and costly repairs. For businesses, a rodent sighting can mean complaints and inspection problems under Abu Dhabi Agriculture and Food Safety Authority (ADAFSA) standards.
Signs of a Rodent Infestation
Look out for these clues:
- Scratching, scurrying, or squeaking in ceilings and walls, especially at night
- Dark, rice-shaped droppings near food, bins, and skirting boards
- Gnaw marks on packaging, wood, plastic, and cables
- Greasy rub marks along walls and pipes
- Shredded paper or fabric nests in quiet corners
- A strong musty or ammonia smell
- Pets showing sudden interest in walls or cupboards
Our Rodent Control Process
Step 1: Full Property Inspection
We trace droppings, runways, and gnaw marks to find nests and entry points, checking roofs, garages, kitchens, drains, and outdoor areas.
Step 2: Treatment Plan
We choose the right tools for your property and household, whether secured bait stations, snap traps, or glue-free monitoring devices.
Step 3: Controlled Baiting and Trapping
Tamper resistant bait stations and traps are placed along rodent pathways. All products meet ADAFSA requirements and are handled by licensed technicians, with careful placement to protect children and pets.
Step 4: Proofing and Exclusion
We seal gaps around pipes, vents, doors, and roof edges, and recommend mesh covers for drains and AC openings. Without proofing, new rodents simply replace the old ones.
Step 5: Monitoring and Follow Up
We return to check activity, remove devices when appropriate, and adjust the plan. Ongoing monitoring is available for restaurants, warehouses, and large properties.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does rodent control cost in Abu Dhabi?
Home treatments typically range from about AED 250 for a small apartment to AED 800 or more for a large villa with roof access issues. Commercial plans are priced monthly after inspection.
How long does it take to get rid of rats and mice?
Activity often drops within 3 to 7 days, but full control usually takes 2 to 3 weeks. Proofing entry points is what keeps them from returning.
Is rodent baiting safe for children and pets?
Yes, when tamper resistant stations are placed by trained technicians in protected locations. Keep children and pets away from the stations and follow our instructions.
What if a rodent dies inside a wall?
It can cause a strong smell for a few days. We locate the source where possible, remove accessible remains, and treat the area for odor and flies.
Why do rodents come back after DIY traps?
Store-bought traps remove a few animals but do not find the entry points or nest. Professional inspection, proofing, and monitoring address the root cause.
