Is your home or business infested with mice? It’s a common issue and nothing ot be shy about. Mice can cause property damage and spread disease quickly. When left untreated, mice infestations can escalate fast. We want to help you understand how they spread and how to take control effectively.
Mice infestations occur because homes provide warmth, shelter and easy food. These small rodents can squeeze through gaps the size of a pencil. Once inside, they settle in lofts, walls, floors, kitchens and garages. Because they breed rapidly, numbers rise before you notice them. That is why professional help is often essential.
Mice infestations are never harmless. They chew wires, furniture and food packaging, which increases fire and hygiene risks. In addition, mice carry bacteria such as salmonella. Contamination happens quickly as they leave droppings and urine around. This means your family’s health or employees’ health can be compromised if action is delayed.
You may spot gnaw marks on skirting boards or cupboards. Droppings near food or along walls are another clue. Sometimes you hear scratching in loft spaces at night. Because mice are cautious, sightings are rare. Therefore, knowing the signs is crucial for early control.
Although traps and poisons are sold in shops, they often fail to tackle the whole problem. Mice infestations persist because nests and entry points remain hidden. Even if you catch some, others breed and replace them. Moreover, poisons pose risks to children and pets if misused. That is why expert solutions are safer and more reliable.
We use proven methods that target the source of the infestation. First, we inspect your home thoroughly and identify entry points. Then we apply treatments designed for long-term success. Because we focus on prevention, we also advise you on sealing gaps and storing food securely. This ensures the mice cannot return easily.
Good housekeeping reduces the chances of mice infestations taking hold again. Always store food in sealed containers. Clean crumbs and spills promptly. Seal cracks around pipes, vents and doors. In addition, keep gardens tidy to limit shelter near your property. These steps make your home less attractive to mice.
If you notice repeated signs, it is time to act. We offer safe, effective solutions that comply with UK pest control standards. Give us a call or email us today!
