Brentwood Mice Control

There are numerous species of mice in the UK. The most common species is the house mouse, although field mice will sometimes nest inside buildings. Typical indicators 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 lots of problems inside homes. They can eat through cables or damage pipes. They may also contaminate foodstuffs and spread diseases. Mice may also damage buildings themselves as they gnaw through skirting boards or walls to get access to different areas of the property.

There are many different techniques to treat a mice infestation. Traps can be purchased in either snap or live catch kinds. With either sort, you will need to eliminate the mice humanely and safely. Poison can also be used, although some poisons will need some time to take effect and you could discover dead mice in inaccessible areas of the building, where if they are left they’ll cause a bad smell.

Expert pest control companies can perform a survey on the building to accurately identify the extent of the issue. They’ll then be able to inform you of the most effective course of pest control treatment. This might involve trapping or baiting, and likely a combination of both which will be aimed at effectively controlling the pest infestation. They can also advise you of the best ways to prevent mice from getting into the house by filling any spaces in external walls to block access.
