Sunderland Mice Control

There are numerous species of mice in the UK. The most common species is the house mouse, although field mice will occasionally nest inside properties. Frequent indications of a mouse infestation in a building include droppings being found, markings on skirting boards, a powerful 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 damage pipes. They could also contaminate food products and spread diseases. Mice can also damage buildings themselves as they gnaw through skirting boards or walls to access different parts of the property.

There are numerous different techniques to treat a mice infestation. Traps can be found in either snap or live catch types. With either variety, you’ll need to remove the mice humanely and safely. Poison can also be utilised, although some poisons will need some time to take effect and you could find dead mice in inaccessible areas of the building, where if they’re left they’ll cause an undesirable smell.

Qualified pest control companies can perform a survey on the building to properly identify the extent of the problem. They’ll then be able to give you advice on the best course of pest control treatment. This might involve 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 spaces in external walls to block access.
