A new report shows just how intense the rodent infestation problem is globally, as the market is expected to grow more than five percent through the next six years – tremendous growth for one segment of the pest control market.
The rodenticides market itself is specifically projected to reach $8.6 billion by the year 2031, with rats and mice being targeted as threats to global public health and food supplies, according to the SNS Insider report.
Unfortunately for those being hit hard by mice and rats, the report suggests the issues will continue to affect economic capital and food reserves due to the need for rodent control. Also, there will be heightened concerns about the spread of rodent-borne diseases because of the destructive impact of rodents on homes, buildings, infrastructure, and utilities necessitates robust pest control solutions.
The best way to control rodents is to prevent them in the first place. That’s also a big aspect of Integrated Pest Management (IPM). Rotating chemicals, using different types of control methods (baits, traps, glue boards, etc.), and educating consumers are all important too.
