Mice and rodent control
Rodent control, exclusion and prevention for basements, garages, restaurants and commercial buildings. Mice come indoors at freeze-up through gaps the width of a pencil.
How this service works
Bait reduces the mice already inside. It does nothing about the way in. Exclusion is the part of the job that still works next winter.
01
Exterior inspection
We work the foundation, service penetrations, roofline and door thresholds, photographing every gap. Most properties have between four and a dozen.
02
Exclusion and sealing
Gaps are closed with rodent-proof materials such as steel mesh and mortar, not expanding foam, which mice chew straight through within a season.
03
Interior control
Tamper-resistant stations or traps placed on the runways, sited where children and pets cannot reach them.
04
Verification
We return to confirm activity has stopped, remove or reset equipment and hand over the photographic record of what was sealed.
Properties we help
The right plan depends on the property, the access and how far the problem has spread.
Common rodent questions
Why is exclusion more important than bait?
Bait reduces the mice already inside but does nothing about the gap they came through, so the population rebuilds once the bait is gone. Sealing the entry point is the only part of the job that holds through the winter.
Are bait stations safe with pets and children?
The stations we use are tamper-resistant and placed where a child or pet cannot reach them. Where a household prefers not to have bait at all, we use trapping instead and say so in the quote.
How small a gap can a mouse use?
About six millimetres, roughly the width of a pencil. If you can push a pencil into a gap, a mouse can use it.
Book a rodent inspection
Book before 1pm and we can usually attend the same day.
