Watford Mice Control

There are many species of mice in the United Kingdom. The most frequent species is the house mouse, although field mice will occasionally nest inside houses. Frequent indications 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 a lot of problems inside homes. They could eat through cables or damage pipes. They could also contaminate foodstuffs and spread diseases. Mice could also damage buildings themselves as they gnaw through skirting boards or walls to gain access to different parts of the house.

There are lots of different techniques to treat a mice infestation. Traps are available in either snap or live catch types. With either type, you will 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 find dead mice in inaccessible parts of the building, where if they’re left they’ll result in a bad odour.

Qualified pest control companies can perform a survey on the building to correctly identify the extent of the issue. They’ll then be able to advise you of the most effective 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 deter mice from entering the property by filling any gaps in external walls to block access.
