These pests not only damage property but also pose serious health risks.

Understanding Rodents in Nairobi
Rodents belong to the order Rodentia, with the most common pest species in Nairobi being:
- House Mouse (Mus musculus) – Small, fast breeders often found indoors.
- Norway Rat (Rattus norvegicus) – Larger, burrow-dwelling rats common in sewers and basements.
- Roof Rat (Rattus rattus) – Agile climbers often found in ceilings, attics, and rooftops.
Why Rodent Control is Essential
Rodents are more than an inconvenience they are a health and safety hazard. They:
- Spread diseases such as leptospirosis, salmonella, and hantavirus.
- Damage property by gnawing on wires, wood, and insulation, which can cause fires or structural issues.
- Contaminate food with urine and droppings, making it unsafe for consumption.
- Harm business reputation, especially for restaurants, hotels, and shops where a rodent sighting can drive away customers.
Signs of a Rodent Infestation
- Droppings along walls, in cupboards, or near food storage areas.
- Gnaw marks on food packaging, cables, or furniture.
- Nesting materials like shredded paper or fabric.
- Scratching or scampering noises at night.
- Greasy rub marks along walls and skirting boards.
Causes of Rodent Infestations in Nairobi
Rodents thrive where they can find food, water, and shelter. Common causes include:
- Poor waste management in urban areas.
- Unsealed entry points in buildings.
- Clutter and storage areas providing nesting sites.
- Food left uncovered or improperly stored.
