Professional Mouse Control Services

If you’ve noticed signs of mice in your home or business, it’s important to act quickly. Mice breed rapidly and can cause significant damage to property, wiring, insulation and food supplies. They also carry health risks through contamination.

Our expert pest control team provides a complete solution – from inspection and treatment to proofing and prevention – to remove mice efficiently and stop them from returning.

How We Solve Mouse Problems

Our trained technicians don’t just treat the symptoms; they find the source of your mouse problem and eliminate it properly. Every mouse control service begins with a detailed inspection and ends with long-term prevention.

FOllow-UP

Two visits, 7–10 days apart, allow us to monitor progress, adjust bait stations, remove rodents, and highlight any new or ongoing access points.

Final CHECK

Once the property is clear, we carry out a final inspection, remove remaining bait, and provide proofing advice to help prevent future infestations.

Understanding Mice and How to Spot Them

Mice are small, intelligent and highly adaptable rodents that can multiply quickly and cause considerable damage if left untreated. Recognising the early signs of their presence is key to preventing a larger infestation. From tiny droppings and nibble marks to scratching noises and musky odours, our technicians know exactly what to look for and act fast to remove them safely and effectively.
Signs You May Have Mice

You may not always see mice directly, but here are the key signs our technicians look for:

  • Droppings – small, black spindle-shaped droppings around 5 mm long.
  • Gnaw marks – small tooth marks on food packaging, building materials or wood.
  • Smear marks – dark, greasy rub marks along walls and skirting boards from repeated runs.
  • Noise – light scratching or scurrying sounds, especially at night.
  • Odour – a musty, musky smell from urine and nesting areas.
  • Damage – nibbled food, frayed materials, and small holes chewed through wood or plastic.
How to Spot Mice

Appearance

Mice are small, slender rodents with brownish-grey colouring.

  • House mice are grey.

  • Field mice have a chestnut colour with a white underside.
    They have pointed noses, thin tails slightly shorter than their body length, small ears with fine hairs and weigh around 25 g.

Droppings

Mouse droppings are around 5 mm long, thin and spindle-shaped.
A single mouse can produce up to 80 droppings per day, often found near food, along skirting boards or in cupboards. Fresh droppings are soft, shiny and dark; older droppings become dry, dull and eventually grey.

Behaviour and Lifecycle

Mice are creatures of habit and regularly use the same runs, leaving smear marks along surfaces. They nibble food, often leaving small, scattered tooth marks rather than fully consuming it.
Although their lifespan is only 6–12 months, they reproduce rapidly – with 5–8 litters per year and 4–8 young per litter. Young mice reach maturity in 6–8 weeks, meaning a small problem can quickly escalate into a major infestation.

Preventing Mouse Infestations

We’ll also help you prevent future infestations with practical proofing and hygiene advice. Our technicians will show you exactly where to make improvements and what steps to take, such as:
Storing food and waste in sealed, rodent-proof containers.
Keeping bins clean with tight-fitting lids.
Clearing overgrown vegetation near buildings.
Sealing gaps around doors, vents, pipes and conduits.
Repairing cracks, holes or damaged brickwork.
Removing clutter or potential nesting materials.
Avoiding leaving pet food or bird feed accessible outdoors.
Checking for broken windows, poorly fitting doors and gaps in foundations.
