Taunton Mice Control

There are a few species of mice in the United Kingdom. The most widespread species is the house mouse, although field mice have been known to nest inside buildings. 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 might eat through cables or cause damage to pipes. They can also contaminate foodstuffs and spread diseases. Mice could also cause damage to buildings themselves as they gnaw through skirting boards or walls to gain access to different parts of the house.

There are various different techniques to treat a mice infestation. Traps can be purchased in either snap or live catch types. With either variety, you will need to eliminate the mice humanely and safely. Poison can be used, although some poisons will need some time to have an effect and you might discover dead mice in inaccessible parts of the building, where if they’re left they will cause a bad smell.

Qualified pest control companies can carry out a survey on the building to correctly identify the extent of the issue. They’ll then be able to give you advice on the best course of pest control treatment. This could require 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 deter mice from entering the house by filling any spaces in external walls to stop access.
