Rodent Control in Koramangala, Bangalore

Rats leave larger droppings (about the size of a grain of rice or bigger) and gnaw marks on wood or wiring, while mice leave smaller, pointed droppings and tend to nest in smaller, hidden spaces like behind appliances. Both leave grease marks along frequently used pathways.

A mouse can squeeze through a gap as small as 6-7mm (about the width of a pencil), while a rat can fit through a gap of about 12-15mm, since their skeletons are flexible enough to compress their body through small openings.

Scientific evidence for ultrasonic repellents is mixed at best — rodents often adapt to the sound within days, and the devices have limited range and are blocked by furniture and walls, so they shouldn't replace proper exclusion, trapping, or baiting methods.

A single pair of rats can produce hundreds of descendants within a year under ideal conditions, since a female rat can have 6-8 litters annually with 6-12 pups each, which is why early intervention is far more effective than waiting.
