Mice pest control is one of our most popular pest control services, if you think you have mice you are not alone! A common mistake when dealing with a mouse infestation is to take it less seriously than a rat infestation. Unfortunately, whilst they may appear harmless, mice can cause a number of serious issues in your home or business and can lead to a visit from environmental health if left untreated.
Common issues caused by a mouse infestation are mainly down to damage to property and health issues. Mice tend to gnaw on such things as cables/electrical wiring and wooden objects, and their urine/faeces are known to spread diseases such as Salmonellosis and Hantavirus through the contamination of food. Remember they’re also able to increase in numbers extremely quickly, which means infestations can soon get out of control. 1 Breeding pair of mice can produce up to 5000 in a single year. If you feel you have a mouse problem, then our mice pest control service is for you.
Signs of a mouse infestation
Similar to rats, it’s fairly straightforward to spot a mouse infestation. However, if you’re going to actually see one in your property then its much more likely later in the day, mice are nocturnal by nature. If you’re spotting mice in the daytime, this may indicate a heavy infestation. Common signs that you may have a mouse infestation are:
- Nests – these are usually made out of shredded materials, and are most commonly found in places such as lofts, cavity walls, suspended ceilings, and in enclosed spaces such as behind appliances, under the kitchen sink or underneath furniture
- Footprints – these tend to appear in dustier areas but often won’t be spotted other than by a professional due to their nature
- Grease/smear marks – these are caused by mice rubbing up against skirting/walls and floors. Oily deposits from their fur are left on surfaces as they continually pass over them.
- Droppings – mice droppings are typically small (around 3-8mm) and dark. Mice produce up to 80 droppings a day, so there can be huge amounts of them
- Strong, ammonia smells – mice tend to urinate often, and their urine comes with a strong ammonia-like smell
- Scratching noises – you’re more likely to notice these after dusk
