If you notice gnaw marks, droppings or scratching, it's worth acting quickly. The presence of mice and rats can pose a hygiene, technical and food-safety risk.
Much more often it's droppings, scratching sounds, chewed packaging, damaged insulation, an unpleasant smell or tiny footprints that point to the problem. A house, cellar, loft, holiday home, shop, warehouse or business premises each require different circumstances to be examined. Rodent control works well when it responds not just to the animals present but also to how they got in, what attracts them, where they move and where they can find food or shelter.
Keep scrolling: the pests and their descriptions slide in from the side.
Mice get in through even small gaps, so they often show up in garages, pantries, near suspended ceilings, in lofts or in rarely used rooms. Because they move fast and live secretively, they can stay unnoticed for a long time. In treatment, surveying the travel routes, entry points and food sources is the starting point.
Rats require more serious attention, because the problem can quickly spread to the building's surroundings, sewer connections, waste stores or storage areas. They are cautious, highly adaptable animals, so control calls for consistency and site-based thinking – waste handling and sealing openings are especially important.
We do not exterminate the stone marten – it is a protected, useful predator, so the aim is to keep it away and deter it. The marten causes trouble in lofts, roof spaces, vehicle engine bays and outbuildings: it gnaws insulation and cables and is noisy at night. The solution is built on sealing entry points, deterrence and making the area less attractive.
What you're seeing, where and since when – that's the starting point.
Mapping the travel routes and gaps.
A solution suited to the site and its use.
Treatment tailored to the characteristics of the area.
Gaps, waste, storage – against recurrence.
If needed, a repeat or regular check.
It's worth checking the gaps around the building, the spaces under doors, the vents and the sewer and utility penetrations. Keep waste in a sealable container, and store pet food and dry food in well-closing containers. In a business or premises environment, rodent control is not a one-off convenience but a task that matters for hygiene and operations too.
Not always. If the entry point and the attracting conditions remain, the problem can return.
We choose a safe solution based on the site and the method used. Always let us know in advance if a pet is present.
If several signs are visible, movement is regular, gnaw marks have appeared, or the area involves food, catering or storage, it's not worth waiting.
Request a consultation and we'll see what control may be warranted. The sooner you report it, the easier it is to prevent multiplication or greater damage.
