Weymouth Mice Control

There are several species of mice in the UK. The most common species is the house mouse, although field mice will sometimes nest inside properties. Frequent indicators of a mouse infestation in a building include droppings being found, marks 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 may eat through cables or damage pipes. They can also contaminate foodstuffs and spread diseases. Mice may also damage buildings themselves as they gnaw through skirting boards or walls to access different parts of the property.

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

Experienced pest control companies can carry out a survey on the building to correctly identify the extent of the issue. They will then be able to give you advice on the most effective 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 discourage mice from getting into the property by filling any gaps in external walls to block access.
