Dublin accounted for 22% of Rentokil's pest callouts last year, the most of any county.
Ireland's leading pest control provider said dealing with rodents dominated most of their work during 2022, accounting for a whopping 58% of callouts. Flies and moths also caused issues among Irish households and workplaces, accounting for 15% and 5% of Rentokil's callouts respectively.
Rentokil has urged home and business owners to be vigilant of rodents as the winter period continues. Rats and mice typically move indoors during the winter period and can cause damage to premises and stored goods, as well as damage to a business’s reputation. They can also spread diseases such as Hantavirus and Salmonellosis.
