Winsford Mice Control

There are numerous species of mice in the UK. The most frequent species is the house mouse, although field mice will occasionally nest inside houses. Frequent signs of a mouse infestation in a building include droppings being found, marks on skirting boards, a powerful ammonia-like smell 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 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 many different techniques to treat a mice infestation. Traps can be purchased in either snap or live catch types. With either type, you’ll need to remove the mice humanely and safely. Poison can be used, although some poisons will take some time to take effect and you may find dead mice in inaccessible areas of the building, where if they’re left they will cause an unpleasant smell.

Expert pest control companies can perform a survey on the building to properly identify the extent of the problem. They will then be able to inform you of the best course of pest control treatment. This might involve trapping or baiting, and likely a combination of both which will be aimed at effectively controlling the pest infestation. They can also advise you of the best ways to prevent mice from entering the home by filling any gaps in external walls to prevent access.
