Greenford Mice Control

There are a few species of mice in the UK. The most widespread species is the house mouse, although field mice have been known to nest inside houses. Typical indicators of a mouse infestation in a building include droppings being found, marks on skirting boards, a strong ammonia-like odour or hearing scratching noises as they move around. Mice can cause lots of problems inside homes. They can eat through cables or cause damage to pipes. They can also contaminate food and spread diseases. Mice may also damage buildings themselves as they gnaw through skirting boards or walls to gain access to different parts of the house.

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

Expert pest control companies can perform a survey on the building to accurately identify the extent of the problem. They’ll then be able to give you advice on the best course of pest control treatment. This may involve trapping or baiting, and likely a combination of both which will be targeted to effective control the pest infestation. They can also advise you of the most effective ways to prevent mice from entering the house by filling any gaps in external walls to block access.
