There are several species of mice in the UK. The most common species is the house mouse, although field mice will occasionally nest inside homes. Typical signals of a mouse infestation in a building include droppings being found, marks on skirting boards, a strong ammonia-like smell or hearing scratching noises as they move around. Mice can cause lots of problems inside homes. They could eat through cables or cause damage to pipes. They can also contaminate foodstuffs and spread diseases. Mice can also cause damage to buildings themselves as they gnaw through skirting boards or walls to get access to different parts of the house.
There are various different ways to treat a mice infestation. Traps are available in either snap or live catch kinds. With either sort, you’ll need to eliminate the mice humanely and safely. Poison can be utilised, although some poisons will need some time to have an effect and you could find dead mice in inaccessible regions of the building, where if they are left they will result in an undesirable smell.
Specialist pest control companies can perform a survey on the building to properly identify the scope of the infestation. They will then be able to advise you of the best course of pest control treatment. This could 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 deter mice from entering the property by filling any spaces in external walls to prevent access.

The London Borough of Hackney is a north east London Borough within Inner London in the UK. Southern and eastern parts of the borough are popularly, but unofficially, regarded as being a part of east London, with northern and western locations deemed to belong to north London. The London Plan, issued by the Greater London Authority, assigns whole boroughs to sub-regions for statutory monitoring, engagement and resource allocation purposes. The most recent 2011 iteration of this program assigns Hackney towards the ‘East’ sub-region, although the 2008 and 2004 versions assigned the borough to ‘North’ and ‘East’ sub-regions respectively.
Hackney is bounded by Islington to the west, Haringey to the north, Waltham Forest to the north-east, Newham towards the east, Tower Hamlets towards the south-east as well as the City of London to the south-west. It covers a total area of 7.36 square miles. In line with population estimates from 2014, the borough includes a permanent population of about 263150 inhabitants. A great deal of Hackney retains an inner-city character, but in such locations as Dalston big housing estates have been joined by newly created gated communities. The historical and administrative heart of Hackney is the area roughly extending north from Mare Street and around the Church of St John-at-Hackney; known as Hackney Central.
To the north of the borough are Upper Clapton and Lower Clapton, Stamford Hill and Stoke Newington. Light industries within the space around the River Lea employ over 3000 staff. Some of the area was used for the 2012 Summer Olympics.
