Rodent control that stays solved past month two.
Rats are pattern-locked: same runs, same drinking spots, same entry voids. A single round of poison gets you a week of relief, then a new family moves in. Dawnplex’s rodent programme maps the runs, seals the voids, builds the bait-station network and audits it monthly — so the population can’t replenish.
- Map the runsTrack dust, droppings, gnaw marks per zone
- Seal entriesSteel wool, hardware cloth, mortar — no foam
- Bait networkLocked, tamper-resistant stations with logs
- Monthly auditActivity by station, mapped against trend
What we’re actually dealing with in Klang Valley
- Roof rat (Rattus rattus). Black, agile, lives in ceiling cavities and palm crowns. Common in older terrace rows. Treatment: ceiling-void bait stations, palm-trunk barriers.
- Norway rat (Rattus norvegicus). Bigger, stays low — drains, basement carparks, rubbish stores. Common around F&B outlets. Treatment: external bait-station ring, drain trapping.
- House mouse (Mus musculus). Pencil droppings, fine gnaw marks, often singular. Treatment: bait stations indoors, snap-trap audits, void sealing.
Three months from heavy pressure to maintenance
Audit week
One technician walks every level — droppings, runs, gnaw marks, droppings density mapped. Output: rodent activity map (PDF).
Seal week
Entry points sealed with steel wool, hardware cloth or mortar (we don’t use spray foam — rats chew through it in days). Drainage flap covers added where needed.
Knockdown phase
Tamper-resistant bait stations, snap-trap arrays in food-prep zones, monitoring at day 3, 7, 14, 21. Population usually drops 80–90% in three weeks.
Maintenance phase
Monthly station checks, bait refresh, trend chart per zone. Most clients move to a quarterly cadence after 6 months of zero activity.
Bait stations or nothing
Loose blocks of rodenticide kill rats — but they also kill dogs, cats, monitor lizards, and the kites and barn owls that follow the dying rats. Dawnplex uses Department of Agriculture-registered second-generation anticoagulants only in locked tamper-resistant stations — accessible to rats, sealed against pets and wildlife.
Every station has a printed serial, a barcode, and shows up on your monthly audit map. If a station is lost or damaged the technician logs it and replaces it on the next visit.

Hearing them in the ceiling? Don’t wait it out.
Rodent populations double every 25–30 days under Malaysian conditions. A four-rat ceiling cluster becomes a thirty-rat colony before raya. We can be on site tomorrow.
