As a professional pest controller, we don’t need to tell you that just because peak rodent season has passed, it doesn’t mean your job is done. Now is the perfect time to shift your focus from reactive rodent control to proactive prevention and proofing. Encouraging your customers to invest in rodent proofing now will save them and you time, money, and frustration in the long run.
The Financial Benefits of Prevention Over Infestation Control
Your customers might not realise it, but dealing with a rodent infestation after the fact is far more expensive than preventing one in the first place. Structural damage, contamination risks, business downtime, and the cost of intensive pest control treatments all add up, with your time and energy better spent pest busting elsewhere.
Lodi UK’s Tools for Rodent Prevention and Proofing
Lodi UK provides you with the tools you need to help your customers keep rodents out for good. Three standout products in our range are the Anti-Rodent Spray, Anti-Rodent Sealant, and Knitwire Mesh, all designed to make proofing straightforward and highly effective.
Anti-Rodent Spray is a simple yet powerful proofing tool that’s easy to apply while on the job. Its vapourised solution makes treated areas unappealing to rodents, discouraging them from gnawing through cables, on cars, tractors, machinery as well as insulation material. A quick spray during your visit provides instant protection that lasts up to 6 months, and with periodic reapplications, your customers can maintain a rodent-free environment. (Just make sure you shake well before spraying and only apply to clean, dry areas!)
Anti-Rodent Sealant is a must-have for blocking entry points. This flexible, durable sealant is infused with rodent-repelling properties, making it perfect for sealing small gaps, holes, and cracks that rodents could use to gain access. Unlike standard fillers, it remains effective long-term, preventing rodents from chewing through or displacing the material. It’s quick and easy to apply with a caulking gun—ideal for pest controllers who need reliable solutions that work.
Knitwire Mesh is another essential and most wanted proofing tool, especially for larger gaps, drains, holes and ventilation openings where rodents may attempt to squeeze through. Made from tightly woven, rust-resistant steel, this premium product acts as a strong physical barrier, your first line of defence against rodents. It’s easy to cut to size and install, making it a practical addition to any pest controller’s proofing arsenal.
Traps, Cages, and Monitoring Tools
Beyond proofing, you need the right tools to track and manage rodent activity. Lodi UK offers a range of traps and cages, ensuring you have the best options for every situation - whether you need live capture cages or quick-kill traps, our products help you tailor your approach to each job and your customers needs.
Monitoring is just as critical as proofing. Our UV Monitoring Blocks allow you to detect rodent activity early, helping you determine whether proofing measures are working. These non-toxic bait blocks and paste sachets, when ingested, rodent's urine glows blue, making it easier for you to spot signs of activity, rodent trails and adjust your pest strategy accordingly.
For when the lights are out and no-one is around our range of HikMicro Cameras provide real-time surveillance to confirm whether rodents are still active in a designated area. These compact cameras can be placed in hard-to-reach spaces, giving you and your customers concrete evidence of rodent movements.
