Professional Mice Control in Stepney

Our Mouse Treatment Methods

We use a combination of professional treatments tailored to your specific infestation:

• Professional Rodenticides: HSE-approved anticoagulant baits (brodifacoum, difenacoum) placed in tamper-proof stations. Mice consume bait and die within 3-7 days. Follow-up visits ensure complete elimination.
• Snap Traps: Instant-kill traps for targeted areas. Ideal for chemical-free control or alongside baiting. We monitor and reset during follow-up visits.
• Live Traps: Humane catch-and-release options where appropriate. Less effective for large infestations but suitable for sensitive areas.
• Proofing & Exclusion: Seal entry points with wire wool, expanding foam, and metal mesh. Prevent future infestations by blocking access routes (gaps as small as 6mm).
• Monitoring Systems: Install monitoring stations to detect new activity early. Regular inspections identify problem areas before populations grow.

Preparation for Mouse Treatment

Proper preparation maximizes treatment effectiveness:

• Before Treatment: Store all food in airtight containers. Clean up crumbs and spills. Remove clutter to expose hiding spots. Keep pets away from treatment areas.
• Clear Access: Move furniture away from walls. Clear kitchen kickboards and cupboards. Provide access to loft, garage, and utility areas. Point out known mouse activity locations.
• Safety Measures: Remove pet food and water bowls. Cover fish tanks. Keep children and pets away from bait stations. Don't touch droppings—we'll handle safe removal.
• After Treatment: Don't clean bait stations. Monitor for dead mice (we remove these during follow-ups). Report new activity immediately. Follow technician's prevention advice.
