Pest Control
Mouse control across the Midlands
Entry-point proofing and rapid trapping for homes, flats and commercial kitchens, because mice are a building problem as much as a pest one.
What mouse activity actually looks like
If any of this sounds familiar, it is worth a call. Advice over the phone is free, and we will tell you honestly if you do not need us.
What to look for
- Small, grain-sized droppings around 3-6mm, often in cupboards or along skirting
- Light, fast scratching behind a wall or above a ceiling, usually after dark
- Gnawed corners on packets, bags and stored cardboard
- A stale, musty smell in an enclosed cupboard or under a sink
- Shredded paper or fabric gathered into a nest in a loft or drawer
Why it happens
A mouse passes through a gap under 10mm, which is why mouse problems are so often a proofing job rather than a treatment job — and in a terrace or a block of flats, the route in is frequently next door rather than in your own property.
How we handle mice
Every job is priced before it starts, and the price we agree is the price you pay.
Tell us what you've found
Small droppings in a cupboard, light scratching behind a wall, a gnawed corner on a stored packet. Mice and rats are treated differently, so telling them apart matters.
Finding every gap
Kick boards, pipe and cable entries, meter cupboards and skirting gaps. In a shared building we also check whether the route is really in your property at all.
Trapping first
Trapping brings the resident population down quickly and lets us confirm the result rather than infer it — in a domestic kitchen it is frequently the whole treatment.
Sealing the building
Gaps closed in materials mice cannot gnaw through. This is the durable part of mouse control, and it is what a quick treatment skips.
Why proofing matters more than bait
A house mouse passes through a gap under 10mm, so bait on its own rarely ends a mouse problem — closing the route does. In a terrace, a converted house or a block of flats, that route is very often on next door's side of the wall, which is why we look at the whole building rather than just the flat that reported it.
