Signs You Have a Rodent Infestation in Singapore
Rodents stay hidden. Most infestations in Singapore are only discovered weeks after they begin, by which time the colony has already grown. These are the signs that confirm you have a problem:
Rat Droppings: Dark brown or black, roughly the size of a rice grain, found near food storage, along skirting boards, or inside cabinets. Fresh droppings are moist; dried ones are hard and crumble easily.
Gnaw Marks on Wires and Furniture: Rat incisors grow continuously; they gnaw to wear them down, not out of aggression. They chew through plastic, wood, lead pipes, and live electrical cables without hesitation.
Scratching or Scurrying Noises at Night: Scratching or scurrying sounds from inside walls, ceilings, or beneath floors, typically between 11 pm and 3 am, when rats are most active, usually mean that roof rats or Norway rats have nested inside your building structure.
Grease Marks Along Walls: Rats run the same routes every night, pressing their bodies against walls as they move. The oils and dirt in their fur leave dark smear marks on skirting boards, along pipes, and at floor level.
Foul Ammonia-Like Odour: Rat urine has a sharp, ammonia-like smell that concentrates in enclosed spaces — storerooms, under-sink cabinets, roof voids, and false ceilings. If you notice the odour getting stronger at night when ventilation drops, the infestation is nearby and active.
Types of Rodents Found in Singapore
Norway Rat (Rattus norvegicus) Sewer Rat
Greyish brown in color, 26cm long, aggressive, and a good swimmer. It burrows underground along drain edges, garden walls, and under concrete foundations. Norway rats rarely climb.A peer-reviewed study published in PLOS ONE found that 46.8% of Norway rats trapped across Singapore tested positive for Leptospira.
Roof Rat (Rattus rattus) Black Rat
Black in color, good at running over the roof, long-tailed, and medium-sized. Roof rats are excellent climbers and the most common rat species found inside Singapore homes, condominiums, and shophouses.
House Mouse / Mus musculus
30 grams in weight, light brown to black, and a huge appetite. In Singapore’s older HDB blocks and shophouses, gaps around pipes and cables behind kitchen cabinets are prime entry points most homeowners never check. Mice contaminate up to 10 times more food than they actually eat, making them a significant food safety risk even in small numbers
Asian House Shrew (Suncus murinus)
Small in size, 44 g in weight, and light grey-brown to black in color. It is not a rodent and does not carry leptospirosis, but it invades kitchens, pantries, and storage areas in search of insects and food scraps.
Our Rodent Control Treatment Process
Every rodent job we take on follows the same three-stage process. We don’t skip steps, and we don’t begin treatment until the inspection is complete.
Inspection & Identification: Before any treatment begins, our technician conducts a full site inspection inside and out. We check roof voids, ceiling cavities, wall penetrations, under-sink spaces, bin areas, and external drains. We identify the species from physical evidence, and you receive a full verbal briefing on findings before we recommend any treatment.
Targeted Treatment & Elimination: Based on the inspection findings, we deploy the right combination of methods, like all-weather bait stations, tracking powder, Snap traps and physical exclusion
Proofing, Prevention & Follow-Up: Treatment removes the current population. Proofing stops the next one. After elimination, we seal confirmed entry points, recommend waste and sanitation improvements based on what we found during the inspection, and provide a written service report.

FAQ About Rodent Control
We recommend regular pest control every three to six months to prevent infestations.
Yes, we use eco-friendly products that are safe for families, pets, and the environment.
Rats are significantly larger (up to 26cm body length), produce bigger oval droppings (1–2cm long), and their gnaw marks are broader and deeper. Mice are small (under 10cm), leave tiny rice-grain-sized droppings, and can enter through gaps as small as 6mm. The treatment methods differ — which is why correct identification before treatment matters.
Keep the area clean, store food properly, and seal any openings that pests can use to enter.
We handle cockroaches, rodents, mosquitoes, booklice, termites, and other common pests in Singapore including ants.
