Houghton Le Spring Mice Control

There are many species of mice in the United Kingdom. The most frequent species is the house mouse, although field mice have been known to nest inside houses. Frequent indications of a mouse infestation in a building include droppings being found, markings on skirting boards, a strong ammonia-like smell or hearing scratching noises as they move around. Mice can create lots of problems inside homes. They could eat through cables or cause damage to pipes. They might 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 parts of the house.

There are lots of different techniques to treat a mice infestation. Traps can be found in either snap or live catch forms. With either sort, you’ll need to eliminate the mice humanely and safely. Poison may also be utilised, although many poisons will need some time to have an effect and you might discover dead mice in inaccessible areas of the building, where if they are left they will cause an undesirable odour.

Expert pest control companies can perform a survey on the building to correctly identify the scope of the issue. They’ll then be able to advise you of the most effective course of pest control treatment. This may 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 stop mice from entering the house by filling any gaps in external walls to stop access.
