Lytham St Annes Mice Control

There are numerous species of mice in the UK. The most widespread species is the house mouse, although field mice will sometimes nest inside houses. Frequent 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 create a lot of problems inside homes. They may eat through cables or cause damage to pipes. They may also contaminate food and spread diseases. Mice could also cause damage to buildings themselves as they gnaw through skirting boards or walls to get access to different areas of the home.

There are various different methods to treat a mice infestation. Traps are available in either snap or live catch varieties. With either type, you’ll need to remove the mice humanely and safely. Poison can be utilised, although some poisons will take some time to take effect and you could discover dead mice in inaccessible parts of the building, where if they’re left they will cause a bad odour.

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 give you advice on 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 discourage mice from entering the property by filling any gaps in external walls to block access.
