Rodent Control in Nairobi: Rat and Mice Removal That Lasts
Rats and mice are a two-part problem: the animals inside your property, and the gaps that let them in. SwiftKill's rodent control in Nairobi deals with both. We remove the infestation, then seal the entry points so a new population doesn't move in a month later.
Signs You Have a Rodent Problem
Rodents hide well, so most people notice the evidence before the animals:
- Droppings along walls, in cupboards or in the ceiling
- Scratching or scurrying sounds at night, especially in the roof
- Gnaw marks on wiring, packaging, wood or pipes
- Greasy rub marks along skirting boards
- A musty smell, or food packets torn open
Gnawed wiring is also a fire risk, and rodents contaminate food and surfaces. The World Health Organization notes that rodents and their fleas can spread serious disease, so it pays to act early.
Our Rodent Control Process in Nairobi
1. Exclusion inspection
Every job starts with a full inspection of rooflines, vents, utility penetrations, foundation gaps and door sweeps. A property can be fully trapped out and still be reinfested within a month if the entry points are never sealed, so we find them first.
2. Removal
We handle active infestations with mechanical trapping and, where necessary, tamper-resistant bait stations. These are placed away from children and pets and positioned according to label and safety requirements.
3. Monitoring over multiple visits
Rodent removal is rarely a one-visit fix. We track activity over follow-up visits rather than declaring the job done after one trip.
4. Sealing and proofing
Once activity drops, we seal gaps with rodent-proof materials. Steel wool and expanding foam alone are not enough, because rodents chew through them.
Rodent Control for Homes and Businesses
Homes and apartments. We treat roofs, ceilings, kitchens, stores and gardens, and give you clear advice on what attracts rodents to your property.
Restaurants, warehouses and food storage. We set up ongoing monitoring stations and inspection logs that satisfy most public health and audit requirements. Rodent control becomes a documented, repeatable part of your facility maintenance rather than an emergency call. If you need a regular schedule, ask about our commercial pest management contracts.
Landlords and property managers. We can treat several units under one plan and provide records for each.
Safe, Regulated Treatment
We use products registered for use in Kenya and follow the guidelines of the Pest Control Products Board (PCPB) on application, dosage and safe use. Bait stations are tamper-resistant and placed out of reach of children and pets, and we tell you in advance if any area needs to be avoided.

How much does rodent control cost in Nairobi?
It depends on the size of the property, the level of infestation and the number of visits needed. We inspect first, explain what we found, and give you a written quote before any work begins. There is no pressure to accept on the spot.
Is rodent treatment safe for my family and pets?
Yes. We use tamper-resistant bait stations placed away from children and pets, and follow product label and re-entry requirements. If any area needs to be avoided, we tell you exactly where and for how long.
How long does it take to get rid of rats?
Rodent removal is rarely a single-visit job. Activity usually drops over a series of visits, then we seal the entry points. We agree the follow-up schedule with you before we start.
Do you charge for the inspection?
No. The first inspection and quote are free, with no obligation to book.
Do you handle rodent control for restaurants and warehouses?
Yes. We install monitoring stations and keep inspection logs so you have documentation for audits and public health checks.
Will you follow up after the treatment?
Yes. Monitoring is part of the plan, so activity is tracked over time instead of assumed gone after one appointment. You’ll always know what the follow-up schedule looks like before we start.
