Altrincham Mice Control

There are many species of mice in the United Kingdom. The most widespread species is the house mouse, although field mice will occasionally nest inside houses. Typical indicators of a mouse infestation in a building include droppings being found, markings on skirting boards, a powerful ammonia-like odour or hearing scratching noises as they move around. Mice can create a lot of problems inside homes. They might eat through cables or cause damage to pipes. They might also contaminate food products and spread diseases. Mice may also cause damage to buildings themselves as they gnaw through skirting boards or walls to gain access to different parts of the property.

There are numerous different methods to treat a mice infestation. Traps are available in either snap or live catch kinds. With either sort, you’ll need to remove the mice humanely and safely. Poison may also be utilised, although some poisons will need some time to take effect and you could find dead mice in inaccessible parts of the building, where if they are left they will cause an unpleasant smell.

Qualified pest control companies can perform a survey on the building to properly identify the scope of the issue. They’ll then be able to advise you of the most effective course of pest control treatment. This might include 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 stop mice from getting into the property by filling any spaces in external walls to stop access.
