Channel Islands Mice Control

There are a few species of mice in the United Kingdom. The most prevalent species is the house mouse, although field mice will occasionally nest inside properties. Frequent indications 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 could eat through cables or cause damage to pipes. They can also contaminate food products and spread diseases. Mice could also cause damage to buildings themselves as they gnaw through skirting boards or walls to gain access to different areas of the home.

There are several different methods to treat a mice infestation. Traps can be purchased in either snap or live catch varieties. With either kind, you’ll need to dispose of the mice humanely and safely. Poison can be used, although some poisons will need some time to have an effect and you may find dead mice in inaccessible parts of the building, where if they’re left they’ll cause an undesirable odour.

Experienced pest control companies can carry out a survey on the building to correctly identify the extent of the issue. They will then be able to advise you of the most effective course of pest control treatment. This might require 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 most effective ways to prevent mice from getting into the house by filling any gaps in external walls to prevent access.
