Prevent damage and stress

Rodents are more than just a nuisance. They can also pose a serious threat to the health of your animals and cause damage to your stables and machinery.


Diseases and pests

They transmit diseases such as Leptospirosis, Hanta virus and Weil's disease, which can affect both animals and humans.

Property damage

They can damage pipes and electrical wiring, leading to fires, leaks or other problems.

Animal stress

Rats and mice cause stress to animals. Stressed animals are not productive.

Economic impact

These problems also have a financial impact on your business: you may face losses, repair costs and health care costs.

Recognize signs and damage

Rats and mice are relentless gnawers due to their constantly growing teeth, which can lead to significant damage in your stables and to your materials. These pests adapt quickly to various environments, particularly thriving in dark areas where food and shelter are available.

They often cause damage by gnawing on packaging, wiring, or pipes, and can even create holes in walls. Mice typically use soft materials like paper or fabric to build nests, while rats prefer coarser materials such as insulation, leaves, or cardboard.

Experts recommend

MS Tupoleum is a repellent used to prevent animals from causing damage. Any wild animal or rodent feels threatened by the smell of MS Tupoleum and avoids the place where the smell is perceived.
