Rats, particularly the Roof Rat (Black Rat) and the Norway Rat (Brown Rat), are highly adaptable and thrive in urban settings. Dubai's continuous development, numerous dining establishments, and dense residential communities create ideal conditions for these pests to flourish. The problem isn't just seeing them; it's the hidden dangers they bring.
- Health Risks: Rats can transmit diseases like Salmonellosis and Leptospirosis through their droppings, urine, and bites. They also carry fleas and ticks, which pose additional health threats.
- Property Damage: With teeth that constantly grow, rats chew on almost anything to wear them down. This includes electrical wires (a major fire hazard), plumbing pipes, insulation, and structural wood.
- Contamination: A single rat can leave behind thousands of droppings and contaminate stored food and surfaces, making them unsafe. This is a critical concern for restaurants and homes.
- Reputation Damage: For businesses, a rat sighting can be devastating, leading to loss of customers, negative reviews, and potential fines from health authorities in Dubai or Sharjah.
Signs You Have a Rat Infestation
Rats are nocturnal and secretive, so you may not see one directly until the infestation is significant. It’s crucial to look for the early warning signs:
- Droppings: Small, dark, pellet-shaped droppings are often found along walls, in cupboards, or under sinks.
- Gnaw Marks: Look for chew marks on food packaging, furniture, baseboards, and wiring.
- Nests: Rats build nests in warm, hidden places using shredded paper, fabric, or other soft materials. Check behind appliances, in wall cavities, or in ceiling voids.
- Rub Marks: Rats have poor eyesight and navigate by rubbing against walls, leaving greasy, dark marks along their travel paths.
- Strange Noises: Scratching, scurrying, or squeaking sounds in walls or ceilings, especially at night, are a strong indicator.
Our Rodent Control Services in Dubai & UAE
DIY traps and poisons can be ineffective and dangerous if not used correctly. Al Tayseer provides professional, tailored solutions to eliminate rats from your property safely and permanently.
Residential Rat Control
We understand the urgency of protecting your family and home. Our residential services for villas and apartments focus on identifying and sealing entry points to prevent re-entry. We use a combination of secure bait stations and traps, placed strategically in areas inaccessible to children and pets, to effectively manage the rodent population and restore your peace of mind.
Commercial Rat Control
Businesses in Dubai, Sharjah, and Ajman cannot afford the risk of a rodent infestation. We offer discreet and comprehensive Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs for hotels, restaurants, warehouses, and offices. Our service includes detailed reporting, scheduled monitoring, and preventative strategies to ensure you remain compliant with all municipality health and safety regulations. We help protect your inventory, reputation, and bottom line.
Our Proven 4-Step Rodent Control Process
Our systematic approach ensures we not only remove the current threat but also prevent future problems.
- Thorough Inspection: Our certified technicians conduct a detailed site survey to identify the species of rat, locate nests, determine the size of the infestation, and find all potential entry points.
- Customized Treatment Plan: We design a targeted strategy using the most effective methods, such as tamper-resistant bait stations, snap traps, or glue boards, depending on the situation and safety requirements.
- Strategic Implementation: Our team executes the plan precisely, placing control measures in key locations while ensuring the safety of people and non-target animals.
- Exclusion and Prevention: This is the most critical step. We provide recommendations and services to seal cracks, holes, and other entry points rats use to get inside. We also offer advice on sanitation to make your property less attractive to pests. While we handle rats, preventing other pests is also key. For example, our cockroach control services in Sharjah also involve sealing entry points.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How quickly can you come for a rat problem?
We treat rodent infestations as an emergency. We aim to provide same-day or next-day service to assess the situation and begin treatment as quickly as possible.
Is the treatment for rats safe for my family and pets?
Absolutely. We prioritize safety by using tamper-resistant bait stations that keep the rodenticide securely contained, preventing access by children and pets. Our technicians are trained to place all control devices in safe and strategic locations.
Where do rats hide in Dubai homes?
Rats often hide in ceiling voids (false ceilings), inside wall cavities, behind large kitchen appliances, in store rooms, and in AC ducts. Roof Rats are climbers and are often found in attics and upper levels of buildings.
How much does rat control in Dubai cost?
The cost varies based on the size of your property and the severity of the infestation. We provide a free, no-obligation inspection and quote so you know the exact cost before we begin any work.
Can I get rid of rats myself?
While DIY traps might catch a single rat, they rarely solve an entire infestation. Rats are smart and quickly learn to avoid traps. Professional services are needed to eliminate the entire colony and prevent them from returning. Many pests require professional intervention, just like our guaranteed bed bug treatments, which tackle infestations that are nearly impossible to solve alone.
