Ireland is currently experiencing a sharp increase in rodent infestations, with homeowners and businesses reporting higher-than-usual rat and mouse activity across the region.
According to pest experts at District Pest Control Ireland, a combination of warmer weather, unsealed properties, and easy food access is contributing to the rise. The problem is particularly noticeable in residential areas around Cork, Limerick, Tipperary, Louth, Meath, and Galway.
"We’ve seen a 40% increase in rodent callouts compared to this time last year," said a spokesperson from District Pest Control Ireland. "Rodents are becoming bolder, often entering homes through small gaps around pipes or poorly sealed doors and windows."
🔎 Signs of a Rodent Infestation Include:
Scratching or gnawing sounds in walls or ceilings
Droppings in kitchen areas or attics
Chewed food packaging or wiring
Unusual pet behavior
🚨 Why Rodent Infestations Are a Serious Concern
Rodents not only cause structural damage by chewing through insulation and electrical cables, but they can also spread diseases such as Leptospirosis, Salmonella, and Hantavirus through their droppings and urine.
Experts are urging property owners to:
Seal any cracks or entry points
Store food in airtight containers
Keep bins securely closed
Avoid leaving pet food out overnight
