What is included
Inspection led pest control for homes and businesses, using products chosen for the site and the people in it, and a written report after every visit. Nobody wants to make this call, and nobody wants a van with a large insect painted on the side parked outside their villa. We understand both. Our technicians find the source first, treat only where it is needed and tell you plainly when each room is safe to use again.
- Inspection inside and out for droppings, rub marks and gaps
- Gaps around pipes, cables and AC lines packed with mesh and sealed
- Brush strips fitted to the foot of external and garage doors
- Bait stations inspected and a follow up visit booked
How we carry out rodent proofing
Rats and mice squeeze through gaps that look far too small for them. In Abu Dhabi villas the usual ways in are the openings where AC refrigerant lines, cables and drains pass through walls, gaps under garage and kitchen doors, and loose covers on drainage chambers. Our pest control technician walks the outside and inside of the property looking for droppings, greasy rub marks along walls and fresh gnawing, and marks each gap on a plan of the house.
Gaps are packed with stainless steel mesh first, because rodents chew straight through sealant and foam on their own, then sealed over with a suitable sealant or mortar. Brush strips go along the bottom of doors that leave a gap. Drain covers are refitted and secured. Existing bait stations are inspected, and where activity is still present it is noted. A follow up visit checks whether any new gnawing or droppings have appeared and seals anything missed.
How it works
The same method on every job, so the result does not depend on who is on shift.
- Inspection and identification. A technician inspects kitchens, bathrooms, drains, voids, stores and the garden, identifies the pest and finds where it is coming from. Treating without knowing the source is why problems return.
- Treatment plan and quotation in writing. You receive a written plan naming the method, the products and the number of visits, with a quotation before anything is applied.
- Targeted treatment. Gel baits, residual treatments at entry and harbourage points, dusts in voids and bait stations are used where each one works best. Food, toys, pets and fish tanks are protected first.
- Proofing advice. We show you the gaps, drains and damp spots that let the pests in, and what to seal or change so the treatment lasts.
- Report and follow up. The report lists what was found, what was used and when each room is safe to use again. A follow up visit is booked where the treatment calls for one.
Rodent Proofing in Corniche Road: what we plan for
The residential stretch of Corniche Road is a line of apartment towers facing the beach and the open sea, from Etihad Towers and Nation Towers at the western end to buildings such as Al Reef Tower, Bel Ghailam Tower, Wave Tower and Saraya One further along. Homes run from studios to large penthouses, many with full height glazing and balconies over the water.
Coastal humidity suits cockroaches and ants, and beach side planting and bin stores attract flies. Drains, outdoor kitchens and ground floor thresholds get particular attention here.
Every tower on the Corniche needs a work permit from building management and a booked service lift before work starts. Parking for service vans is limited, so loading times are agreed with the building. These rules are identified at the site visit, and we prepare the paperwork the building asks for.
What your quotation depends on
A quotation for rodent proofing in Corniche Road follows a site visit. The supervisor looks at the points listed here and you receive a written quotation with a defined scope before any work begins. Once you accept it, nothing is added on the day.
- The type of pest and how established it is
- Size and type of the property, including the garden
- Number of visits the treatment needs
- One treatment or an annual contract

Questions about rodent proofing in Corniche Road
What does rodent proofing include?
Finding and sealing the gaps rats and mice use around pipes, cables, AC lines, drains and doors, with mesh, sealant and brush strips, then a follow up visit to check. The work includes inspection inside and out for droppings, rub marks and gaps; gaps around pipes, cables and AC lines packed with mesh and sealed; brush strips fitted to the foot of external and garage doors.
Why not just put down more bait?
Bait removes the animals already inside, but new ones keep arriving while the gaps stay open. Proofing closes the routes in, so baiting becomes a check rather than a constant job. Most homes need both at the start, then proofing does the long term work.
What happens on the follow up visit?
The technician checks every sealed point for fresh gnawing, looks for new droppings and inspects the bait stations. Any route the rodents have found since is traced and sealed. If there is no sign of activity, the stations are left in place for monitoring.
How much does rodent proofing cost in Corniche Road?
We do not publish prices, because no two jobs are the same. The main factors: the type of pest and how established it is; size and type of the property, including the garden. Book a site visit: a supervisor from The MELLS looks at the work and you receive a written quotation with a defined scope before anything begins.

Yes. An annual contract covers scheduled visits through the year and call outs between them, for homes, restaurants, offices and buildings.
Is the treatment safe for children and pets?
We use registered public health products and choose gel and bait methods wherever they will do the job, because they stay where they are placed. The technician tells you exactly when each room can be used again.
