Why Mice Are a Problem

• Contaminate food and surfaces with urine and droppings.
• Carry bacteria that can affect people and pets.
• Gnaw wood, plastic, packaging and furniture.
• Chew electrical cables, which can increase the risk of fire.

Signs You Have Mice

You may have a mouse problem if you notice one or more of the following:

• Scratching noises in walls, ceilings or under floors, especially at night, as mice move around.
• Small dark droppings along walls, in cupboards, under sinks or in lofts.
• A strong, stale smell similar to ammonia in enclosed areas such as under kitchen units.
• Gnaw marks on wood, plastic, cables, packaging or stored items.
• Nests made from shredded paper, fabrics or insulation behind fridges, inside cupboards or in other hidden places, sometimes with young mice present.

How to Keep Mice Out

The first step is to stop mice getting into your property and remove easy food sources.

Proofing your property

• Seal gaps and holes on outside walls and around pipes and cables.
• Remember mice can squeeze through holes about the width of a pencil.
• Fit good quality bristle strips to the bottom of external doors.
• Repair damaged vents and mesh covers.

Ultrasonic Repellents

Ultrasonic plug in devices emit sound that is uncomfortable for mice but cannot be heard by people. They may help to discourage mice from entering a property.

For existing infestations, we do not recommend relying on ultrasonic repellents alone. Mice can quickly get used to the sound and continue to move around the property.

Professional Mouse Control

DIY mouse traps and baits can control very small problems. For larger or repeated infestations, you usually need professional help.

Forest Of Dean Pest Control technicians:

• Carry out a thorough survey to find entry points and activity areas.
• Use targeted treatments that are safe, effective and legal.
• Place baits and traps where mice are active but people and pets are protected.
• Monitor progress and remove bodies and accessible baits at the end of treatment.
• Give you clear proofing and hygiene advice to reduce future risk.

Our call out service for mice and other pests is fast, effective and focused on safety for your household.
