There are various species of mice in the United Kingdom. The most prevalent species is the house mouse, although field mice will sometimes nest inside houses. Frequent warning signs of a mouse infestation in a building include droppings being found, marks 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 can also contaminate foodstuffs and spread diseases. Mice could also damage buildings themselves as they gnaw through skirting boards or walls to get access to different parts of the house.
There are lots of different methods to treat a mice infestation. Traps can be purchased in either snap or live catch forms. With either kind, you will need to eliminate the mice humanely and safely.
