Mouse Control
Fast, effective solutions for mouse activity in homes and businesses, delivered by qualified technicians
Mice are small, but the evidence they leave behind can be easy to spot once you know what to look for:
Droppings: Tiny (3–8 mm), dark droppings scattered rather than grouped.
Gnawing Damage: Chewed packaging, furniture, or wiring.
Noises: Scratching in walls or ceilings, especially at night.
Nesting Material: Shredded fabric, paper, or insulation tucked into hidden spots.
Smell: A distinct musky odour in infested areas.
Our Approach
When dealing with mice, our first step is to identify the species we’re dealing with — typically either the wood mouse or the house mouse. Each species has distinct behaviours, and our experienced team is well-versed in identifying and addressing each one. By understanding which species is present, we can tailor our control methods to effectively manage the activity and ensure a thorough solution. Whether it’s a wood mouse or a house mouse, you can trust us to identify and control the issue with precision.
Mice can often be controlled by identifying entry points and applying suitable baiting or trapping methods, alongside proofing measures to prevent further access into the property.
Infestations can escalate quickly as mice breed rapidly, are highly adaptable, and can access buildings through very small gaps. They often nest within walls, lofts, and cupboards, causing contamination and damage through gnawing.
In these circumstances, a structured treatment plan is required to ensure effective control and eradication, including follow-up visits and ongoing monitoring to prevent re-infestation.
