You will be surprised to learn that mice are on the increase. Many factors bring into play the spread of mice, but beware they are out and about and could be in your home.
As a trusted pest control company in and around Essex we receive call after call asking us to help remove these mice.
What damage can they do?
Mice do cause substantial damage to anything they come into contact with. They chew through almost everything they meet. In most cases this is due the fact that they are looking for nesting materials- but it’s very common to see them chewing live wires and the like.
In a few reported cases mice have had a part to play in house fires after chewing through live electrical wiring.
Business damage….can you afford to lose your reputation?
The answer to this question is simple….No…..but you will be surprised at how many Businesses do not have an Annual Service Agreement in place, remember, PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE!!
Or think of it this way, it is far easier to deal with the problem BEFORE your customer spots the mice running across the floor in a restaurant or they find the mice in a delivery from you.
Common types of mice
We normally see to types of mice in Essex, the house mouse and the field mouse.
That’s not to say we don’t see other mice, but, in general these are the two types you would encounter in your homes.
Both will be nesting were they see fit and there is no hard and fast rules on nesting places.
We have seen them in the back of fridge freezers next to the nice warm motor that is running- under kitchen units- in boiler rooms, in loft spaces, inside the nice warm insulation.
We have even seen mice living inside the back of a printer, so there are no hard and fast rules.
