Rodents reproduce at an alarming rate! We can help you manage this in Cape Town.
Did you know that a typical brown rat can produce as many 20 pups per year. Their offspring can begin reproducing in as little as 6 to 8 weeks. This can result to approximately 2,000 descendants in a year if left unchecked. Also, a house mouse can start to mate from 4 to 7 weeks old and reproduce up to 50 pups or pinkies per year. This can produce more than 5000 descendants annually. Due to this remarkable reproduction cycle it is important to implement a program as soon as rodent activity is noticed. As a matter of interest, a group of rats or mice is aptly referred to as a mischief.

Squirrel Control in Cape Town
Squirrels also carry disease
Squirrel Control has become necessary in Cape Town recently. This is because the squirrel’s natural habitat is being affected due to urbanization. Squirrels can also carry and spread the following diseases to humans:
- Lyme Disease (Spread by the ticks they carry. Symptoms include nerve pain, stiffness and inflammation of the brain)
- Salmonellosis (Salmonella bacteria found in their droppings. Symptoms may cause headache, diarrhea, abdominal cramps and low grade fever.)
- Tularemia (Symptoms may include swollen lymph nodes, severe headaches, fever, chills and fatigue)
Squirrels found in Cape Town can cause damage
Squirrel Control means that you enlist the help from a trusted professional to safeguard you, your family, staff and premises. Although they are very cute to look at, there has been occasions where squirrels become pests. The major concern is that they can burrow around foundations, in lawns, on golf courses, and in gardens. Ground squirrels can have extensive burrows with large mounds and sometimes their burrows underneath buildings have been the cause of structural damage. Fortunately for you, Eco Slayer Cape Town is able to assess the nature of your infestation and provide you with the best solution to control your particular squirrel infestation.
