Across Tanzania’s major towns and cities including Dar es Salaam, Arusha, Dodoma, Mwanza, Mbeya, Morogoro, Tanga, Zanzibar, Moshi, Tabora, and Kigoma the population of stray cats has continued to rise due to open waste systems, urbanization, and unregulated breeding.
While cats are often viewed as friendly companions, stray cats can create challenges for residential and commercial properties alike. Their presence around homes, food businesses, and industrial compounds can lead to hygiene issues, property damage, and nuisance behavior such as loud mating calls or scavenging through bins.
At Rafiki Pest Control Tanzania, we provide humane, safe, and effective stray cat control and management solutions designed to restore order, cleanliness, and safety in your environment. Our approach respects animal welfare while ensuring long-term prevention of stray cat intrusion.
Why Stray Cat Control Is Necessary
Stray cats are adaptive animals that thrive wherever food, shelter, and hiding spots are available. In residential estates, schools, factories, and restaurants, they can quickly multiply, forming colonies that are difficult to manage without expert intervention.
Some of the common challenges associated with stray cats include:
- Noise and disturbances, especially at night.
- Scratching and marking of property, which damages walls, vehicles, and fences.
- Scavenging through bins, spreading litter and attracting other pests.
- Strong odors from spraying and territory marking.
- Aggressive behavior when defending territories or food sources.
Without proper management, these issues can escalate, affecting the comfort, safety, and cleanliness of your property. Professional stray cat control ensures a balanced approach — resolving the problem while maintaining humane practices.

Step 2: Strategic Planning
We develop a customized plan that may include live trapping, exclusion barriers, deterrent sprays, and community coordination. For larger colonies, we recommend partnering with local animal agencies for relocation and population control.
Step 3: Implementation and Removal
Our experts use humane live traps and deterrent systems to capture and safely relocate the cats. We ensure minimal stress and zero harm to the animals while securing your property.
