Why rats need serious attention
Rats breed very quickly: one pair can produce dozens of offspring in a year. Their teeth never stop growing, so they gnaw on everything, including electrical cables, pipes, and packaging. The loss is not just damaged goods but also the risk of short circuits, fire, and disease. Catching a few rats without closing their entry points only gives temporary results.
The risks of leaving it
Gnawed cables, fire risk
Cables stripped by rats can cause short circuits, machine damage, and even fires.
Leptospirosis and other diseases
Rat urine can transmit leptospirosis, especially during floods or in damp areas. The disease can be fatal if treated too late.
Damaged stock and packaging
Materials contaminated by rat droppings or urine are unfit for use and must be thrown away.
Audit findings
Rat droppings or gnaw marks in warehouses and production areas are serious findings in food safety audits.

Species we handle
Norway rat
Large, nests in soil, drains, and wet areas.
Roof rat
A climber, active in ceilings, roofs, and high shelving.
House mouse
Small, gets in through narrow gaps, often in warehouses and kitchens.
How we control them
- Route inspection. Tracks, droppings, gnaw marks, and entry points are mapped.
- Outer layer. Locked bait stations around the building perimeter, in line with permits and regulations.
- Inner layer. Mechanical or glue traps indoors, especially in food areas where poison is not allowed.
- Exclusion. Recommendations to seal gaps, fit door sweeps, and screen drains.
- Monitoring. Activity at each station is recorded to show trends and hot spots.
What you receive
- Map of stations and traps.
- Activity reports per point and trends over time.
- A prioritized list of repairs to close off rodent access.
When to contact us
- You hear noises in the ceiling at night.
- You find droppings, gnaw marks, or greasy marks on walls.
- Cables, packaging, or sacks have been gnawed.
- Rats are still seen after two weeks of setting your own traps.
Why choose PT IFI
Station map and data per point
Every station is numbered and recorded, so you can see which points are most at risk.
Safe for food areas
Indoor areas use poison-free traps, so there is no poison near products.
Entry-proofing recommendations
Gaps and entry routes are marked with repair priorities.
Used to high-risk areas
We also handle ship deratting and commodity warehouses.
Regulations and standards
- Minister of Health Regulation No. 2 of 2023 on Environmental Health lists rats as animal disease carriers that must be controlled.
- Minister of Health Regulation No. 7 of 2019 requires control of animal disease carriers, including rats, in hospitals.
- Food safety standards such as ISO/TS 22002-1 and HACCP require documented rodent control and monitoring.
- The rodenticides we use are registered products placed in locked stations according to their label directions.
Frequently asked questions
Why not use poison indoors right away?
Poisoned rats can die in the ceiling or behind walls, causing odors and attracting flies. Poison is also a risk to people and pets. That is why poison is only used in locked stations outside the building.
How long until the rats are gone?
Activity usually starts to drop within the first few weeks, depending on the level of infestation and how quickly entry gaps are closed. Progress shows in the per-point reports.
Who closes the gaps in the building?
We mark the gaps and give you a repair list ordered by priority. Your maintenance team can carry out the repairs from that list.
Tell us where you found signs of rats and send photos through the quote form. Our team will schedule an inspection and map their entry routes.
