Mouse control in South London

The most common call we take. Mice breed fast and get in through gaps you would never think to look at, so baiting alone will not finish the job.

Signs you have mice

Mice leave far more evidence than people expect, mostly in the places nobody looks.

  • Small dark droppings, 3 to 6mm, like grains of rice, behind appliances and in cupboards
  • A faint, musty, ammonia-like smell in enclosed cupboards
  • Light scratching in walls or above ceilings, usually just after dark
  • Shredded paper, loft insulation or fabric gathered into a nest
  • Gnawed food packaging, or small holes in the backs of cupboards
  • Smudge marks where they run the same route each night
Mouse control treatment in a South London kitchen

A female mouse can produce around five to ten litters a year, so a small problem becomes a large one within a season.

How we treat mice

Mice have tiny territories, often just a few metres. That changes where treatment has to go.

01

Survey

We track the runs and find the harbourage, usually behind kitchen units, under floors or in the void between floors.

02

Treatment

Control placed directly on the runs rather than in the open, because mice are nibblers and sample everything they pass.

03

Follow-up

Two to three visits is normal. We check take-up and move the treatment as the picture changes.

04

Proofing

Sealing gaps around pipework, cabling, airbricks and under units. A mouse gets through a gap the width of a pencil.

What affects the price

Flats are often cheaper to treat than houses, but harder to finish, because mice move between units.

  • Whether it is a flat, a house or a commercial kitchen
  • How many rooms show activity
  • Whether neighbouring units are also affected
  • How much proofing work is needed
  • Whether units need lifting to reach the runs

Common questions

I only saw one mouse. Do I need treatment?
Almost always, yes. Mice are social and nocturnal, so a mouse seen in daylight usually means an established population you have not seen.
Can I just use shop-bought bait?
You can, but the products available to the public are weaker, and the common failure is placing them where the mouse is not. The bigger problem is that baiting without proofing just creates a vacancy.
I live in a flat. Will treating my unit work?
It helps, but mice travel through service risers and shared voids. We will tell you honestly if the block needs treating and what to raise with your freeholder or managing agent.
How long before they are gone?
Usually two to four weeks across a short programme of visits, assuming the proofing work gets done.
