Why Rodent Control Matters
Rats and mice aren’t just a nuisance — they can damage property, contaminate food, and spread disease. Whether you notice droppings, gnawed wires, or hear scurrying at night, taking quick action is essential.
With Ekomille, you get a non-toxic, highly effective method to reduce rodent populations quickly while keeping your home safe for people and pets.

How does Ekomille Rodent Protection work?
A 1st Pest Control technician will examine your location and depending of the level of infestation, he will recommend deploying one or more machines in impacted areas.
Rodents are drawn to the machine by natural feed that has been strategically placed in and around the machine. Rodents are led to a section where a trap door is triggered and the rodent falls into a container housing an alcohol-based solution, making the rodent succumb within seconds thus eliminating any suffering.

High population locations will quickly experience a significant reduction in rodents creating a safer and healthier environment. Ekomille ensures a quick, reliable and quantifiable trapping process.
We tested an Ekomille machine in a restaurant in the Vancouver area and the results speak for themselves.
To prove its effectiveness, we put Ekomille to the test! In October 2023 we conducted the first test in a Vancouver area restaurant plagued by rodents. Within just 40 days, Ekomille successfully trapped an astounding 14 rats, and effectively regained control over the rodent problem! This remarkable result demonstrates how Ekomille can swiftly tackle even the most severe rodent infestations.
