Congleton Mice Control

There are a few species of mice in the United Kingdom. The most common species is the house mouse, although field mice will occasionally nest inside houses. Common signals 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 might eat through cables or damage pipes. They may 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 areas of the property.

There are many different methods to treat a mice infestation. Traps can be found in either snap or live catch kinds. With either type, you’ll need to dispose of the mice humanely and safely. Poison can be utilised, although many poisons will need some time to take effect and you might find dead mice in inaccessible areas of the building, where if they’re left they will cause an undesirable smell.

Expert pest control companies can perform a survey on the building to correctly identify the extent of the issue. They’ll then be able to give you advice on the best course of pest control treatment. This might include trapping or baiting, and likely a mixture 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 entering the home by filling any gaps in external walls to stop access.
