Stray cats may seem harmless at first, but when they begin invading your property, spraying walls, scattering garbage, or fighting at night, they become a real nuisance. Whether you’re dealing with a growing colony in your backyard, your business premises, or rental property, Rafiki Pest Control has humane and effective solutions for stray cat control in Kenya.
Why Stray Cats Are a Problem
- Noise and disruption – Loud mating calls and fighting, especially at night
- Foul odors – Spraying urine to mark territory creates a persistent stench
- Health risks – Can carry fleas, worms, and diseases like toxoplasmosis and cat scratch fever
- Property damage – Scratching surfaces, scattering trash, and soiling gardens or play areas
- Breeding and overpopulation – One cat can lead to dozens if not managed early
How Stray Cats Invade
- Drawn by accessible food (open dustbins, leftover pet food, poultry)
- Use abandoned buildings, sheds, or overgrown gardens for shelter
- Enter through fence gaps, rooftops, or broken vents
- Attracted to quiet, undisturbed areas to breed and nest
Common Hiding Places
- Under decks and verandas
- Abandoned houses or outbuildings
- In ceiling spaces, storerooms, or garages
- Near market centers, hotels, and food joints
- Around schools, hospitals, and apartment blocks
Signs of a Stray Cat Problem
- Frequent cat sightings at night or early morning
- Strong ammonia-like odor from urine spraying
- Loud meowing or cat fights
- Paw prints, droppings, or scratch marks
- Flea infestations linked to areas where cats roam
