Rat control for construction sites
Exposed drains, uncovered man-holes, and refuse areas all attract rats to a construction sites. Due to the very nature of many large construction projects, there is a significant risk of a rat infestation. Rats can cause damage to the site, for example, by chewing through electric cables or chewing drainage pipes. However, the most significant risk is a health and safety risk. Rats carry weill’s disease.
