England Mice Control

There are many species of mice in the UK. The most widespread species is the house mouse, although field mice will sometimes nest inside properties. Frequent signs of a mouse infestation in a building include droppings being found, marks on skirting boards, a powerful ammonia-like smell or hearing scratching noises as they move around. Mice can cause a lot of problems inside homes. They may eat through cables or cause damage to pipes. They might also contaminate food and spread diseases. Mice will also damage buildings themselves as they gnaw through skirting boards or walls to get access to different areas of the home.

There are many different ways to treat a mice infestation. Traps are available in either snap or live catch kinds. With either kind, you will need to eliminate the mice humanely and safely. Poison can be utilised, although many poisons will take some time to have an effect and you could find dead mice in inaccessible regions of the building, where if they’re left they will result in an undesirable smell.

Experienced pest control companies can carry out a survey on the building to accurately identify the scope of the infestation. They’ll then be able to advise you of the best course of pest control treatment. This may require trapping or baiting, and likely a mixture of both which will be targeted to effective control the pest infestation. They can also advise you of the best ways to discourage mice from entering the property by filling any gaps in external walls to stop access.
