Newbury Mice Control

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

There are lots of different ways to treat a mice infestation. Traps can be purchased in either snap or live catch kinds. With either variety, you’ll need to remove the mice humanely and safely. Poison can be used, 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’re left they’ll result in an undesirable smell.

Expert pest control companies can carry out a survey on the building to properly identify the extent of the issue. They will then be able to inform you of the most effective course of pest control treatment. This could 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 best ways to discourage mice from entering the house by filling any spaces in external walls to block access.
