What to do if you see a rodent infestation rise in your home

June 2025 | District Pest Control IrelandšŸ“ž 1800 938 779 | āœ‰ļø info@districtpestcontrol.ieĀ | 🌐 districtpestcontrol.ie



IrelandĀ 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 accessĀ 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."

šŸ”Ž 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 HantavirusĀ 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
