How to prevent mice

It is important to understand these distinctions, as water voles and all species of shrew are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. During this time the female mouse will go through what is known as a fertile postpartum estrus, which occurs 14 to 24 hours following the birth. Their body length ranges between 60-90mm, and the tail generally equals the length of its body, adding another 90mm.

Leaving these in the open can result in primary and secondary poisoning of non target animals, such as birds scavenging on the carcass.

It is common knowledge in the pest control industry that almost all house mouse populations in London (and possibly other cities) are resistant to traditional rodenticides.

These mice are known as “commensal rodents”, which refers to them living with or in close proximity to humans. Food is also an issue - they begin to scavenge closer to humans, as their own sources are no longer plentiful. This can make them more difficult to control with toxic baits than a rat, which will happily gorge on one food source.

After locating the areas where mice are getting into your house, take the appropriate actions. If they are coming from outside your home, set some safe traps around the premises. The house mouse has a typical mouse profile: small feet with big eyes and thinly-haired ears, and a pointed snout with thin whiskers.They can help minimise pest activity with a range of techniques and have the technical knowledge and experience to apply products in an efficient manner, while minimising risk to the environment and non target species.
