Make a note of when and where you see or hear what you think is rodent activity so that you can share this with the technician. Apart from that, there’s no need for you to do anything – you’re best not to disturb what mouse activity there is and wait for our pest control technician to advise on anything you might need to do.
Our highly trained technician will start by doing an inspection of your property, as well as a general survey of the adjoining land and properties (where possible), to confirm you have a mouse infestation, the extent of the problem, as well as identify factors that may have caused or attracted the mice, and any building defects that could provide potential access points.
After inspection, the technician will decide upon the safest and most effective course of action for your mouse problem. This will include the use of mouse traps or “professional use only” rodenticide baits. We have a number of company approved baits which the technician can choose from, some of which depending on the active ingredient contained will be multi or single feed products. The technician will choose the most appropriate option having assessed the risks to non-target species, you, your family and pets.
Avoid taking any immediate action unless advised to do so by the technician. The technician will explain their findings and provide relevant advice on every visit.
There are circumstances outside of yours and our control which may mean we cannot guarantee to completely eradicate the mouse problem – instead the aim would be to control and exclude activity from within your property. This may mean you need ongoing support to help manage the problem, where we visit the property every 4-12 weeks.
Mice are attracted to human structures where they gain readily available warmth, shelter and food. The following can mean you are more likely to get a mouse problem inside your property:
