What Ratman does — and doesn't.
Rodents only. No general pest control, no chemical spraying — a focused set of services chosen because they work in commercial venues.
What Ratman does
Focused rodent services for commercial premises. No general pest control — rodents only.
Mechanical Trapping
Snap traps and multi-catch stations on activity routes — no baits.
Trap Servicing
Scheduled checks and resets so traps stay effective between visits.
Dead Rodent Removal
Prompt removal to protect food safety and staff.
Rodent Monitoring
Ongoing tracking with logs suitable for food safety audits.
Rodent Proofing
Sealing entry points and gaps to keep rodents out.
Emergency Response
Urgent callouts when a sighting or audit can't wait.
Why mechanical trapping
Commercial venues need programs that survive audits and avoid secondary risks. Rodenticide baits do neither well.
Mechanical trapping
- Kills confirmed and recovered — no rodents dying in walls
- No rodenticide residue near food, prep or stock
- Clear activity logs for audits and QA records
- No secondary poisoning risk to pets or wildlife
- Effective on populations that have learned to avoid bait
Rodenticide-only programs
- Rodents die in inaccessible voids — odour and flies
- Bait residue risk near food
- Counts bait consumption, not catches
- Ongoing secondary poisoning risk
- Doesn't fix the entry points
For food-handling premises, mechanical trapping with monitoring and proofing is the defensible program.
