Professional Rodent Control in Pune
Pune is home to millions of rats and mice — driven by the city's rapid growth, high density of restaurants, and monsoon season that floods underground colonies into homes. At Annapurna Pest Control Services, we've been providing professional rodent control across all of Pune for 17+ years, using WHO-approved treatment methods that eliminate the entire population, not just what you can see.
Our trained technicians identify all rodent entry points and nesting areas during the treatment
Types of Rodents Found in Pune Homes
Three rodent species are most commonly found in Pune:
- Black Rat (Rattus rattus) — the most common in Pune apartments. Excellent climbers, often found in upper floors, lofts, roof spaces and between walls.
- Brown Rat (Rattus norvegicus) — larger, found in sewers, basements and ground-floor kitchens. Extremely destructive gnawers. Common near Pune's drainage systems.
- House Mouse (Mus musculus) — small but prolific breeders. Found in kitchen cabinets, behind appliances and in stored food areas. Can squeeze through a gap as small as 6mm.
Our Rodent Treatment Method
We use a multi-method approach because no single method eliminates all rodents:
- Snap traps and glue boards — placed along rodent runways for immediate capture
- Tamper-resistant bait stations — second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides in locked boxes, safe from children and pets
- Tracking powder — applied in inaccessible areas where rodents travel
- Entry point sealing — steel wool, foam and mesh to block all identified entry gaps
- Follow-up visit — 7–10 days later to check and rebait if needed
Tamper-resistant bait stations are placed in wall cavities and hidden areas — inaccessible to children and pets
Rodent Control for Restaurants & Commercial Premises in Pune
Restaurants, hotels and food businesses in Pune require rodent control. A single rat sighting can result in license suspension and closure. We provide:
- treatment records and certificates
- Monthly and quarterly AMC contracts for continuous protection
- Emergency same-day service for active infestations
- Staff training on rodent prevention best practices
Rodent Prevention Tips for Pune Homes
After professional treatment, these steps prevent re-infestation:
- Store all food in airtight containers — never in cardboard boxes which rats can gnaw through easily
- Seal all gaps around pipes, cables and vents entering your home with steel wool or hardware cloth
- Keep garbage bins sealed and elevated — never leave waste bags on the floor overnight
- Trim trees and shrubs away from your building — Black Rats climb and enter through roof gaps
- Fix leaking pipes and eliminate water sources — rodents need water daily and are attracted to moisture
