Mansfield Mice Control

There are several species of mice in the United Kingdom. The most prevalent species is the house mouse, although field mice will occasionally nest inside properties. Frequent signals of a mouse infestation in a building include droppings being found, markings on skirting boards, a strong ammonia-like odour or hearing scratching noises as they move around. Mice can create a lot of problems inside homes. They can eat through cables or cause damage to pipes. They may also contaminate food products and spread diseases. Mice can also cause damage to buildings themselves as they gnaw through skirting boards or walls to gain access to different parts of the home.

There are many different ways to treat a mice infestation. Traps are available in either snap or live catch types. With either sort, you will need to remove the mice humanely and safely. Poison may also be used, although some poisons will need some time to take effect and you may find dead mice in inaccessible areas of the building, where if they are left they’ll cause a bad odour.

Specialist pest control companies can carry out a survey on the building to properly identify the scope of the infestation. 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 combination of both which will be targeted to effective control the pest infestation. They can also advise you of the most effective ways to stop mice from getting into the home by filling any spaces in external walls to block access.
