When the cold weather sets in, rats and mice find their way into our homes. But what many people don't realise is that these small rodents don't just destroy food stores and wiring - they can also cause fires with devastating consequences.
According to statistics from insurance companies, up to 25% of all electrical fires in houses and holiday homes are related to rodents. These include chewed electrical cables, gnawed insulation and short circuits that can set the whole house ablaze in minutes.
"We've seen everything from small ember fires to totally destroyed homes. Mice and rats are one of the most underestimated fire threats in Swedish households," says the fire inspector.

A growing crisis in Swedish homes
The problem has never been greater than now. Rats are spreading rapidly in Swedish cities and rural areas. In 2024 alone, the number of reports of rat problems increased by over 30%, according to figures from Anticimex.
All it takes is an opening the size of a coin for a mouse to get in - and once established in a home, they are very difficult to get rid of. Conventional rat traps and traditional ultrasonic devices have proven to have very limited effectiveness.
In fact, the Swedish Homeowners' Association has warned that many ultrasonic products on the market are a sham, and in its own test found that some devices had no effect at all on rats and mice.
Repello - scientifically developed technology
In the midst of this growing crisis, there is a new Swedish hope: Repello, the world's first rat repeller based on scientifically documented alarm signals.
Developed at Luleå University of Technology and evaluated by the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, the technology is based on research into the natural behaviour of rodents.
Unlike traditional ultrasonic devices, which rats quickly get used to, Repello uses a unique sound chamber that amplifies alarm signals up to 30 times louder than conventional technology. This triggers the rat's ancient flight instinct and causes them to leave the area - for good.
