Stray Cat Control Services
Stray cats are a common sight in many urban and rural areas across Kenya. While they may seem harmless, large populations of stray cats can lead to various problems including noise disturbances, property damage, spread of diseases, and threats to local wildlife. Rafiki Pest Control offers humane and effective stray cat control services designed to manage and reduce stray cat populations responsibly, keeping your community safe and healthy.
Why Stray Cat Control Is Important
- Stray cats can carry diseases such as toxoplasmosis, rabies, and parasites that pose health risks to humans and pets.
- Large colonies can cause noise disturbances through fighting and mating behaviors.
- Stray cats may damage property by digging in gardens, scratching surfaces, and nesting in buildings.
- They can threaten native bird populations and other wildlife through predation.
- Controlling stray cats helps improve community cleanliness and safety.
