Mice are small enough to enter buildings through surprisingly tiny openings.
Once inside, they can find warmth, shelter and food while nesting behind walls, beneath floors, inside lofts and around kitchens.
Atlas Pest Connect provides professional mouse control for homes and businesses.
Signs You Have Mice
Typical signs include:
- Mouse droppings
- Scratching noises
- Gnawed food packaging
- Damage to stored items
- Chewed cables
- Nesting material
- Unusual smells
- Sightings of live mice
Where Are Mice Getting In?
Finding the entry points is an important part of longer-term mouse control.
Potential access points include gaps around:
- Pipework
- Doors
- Air bricks
- Utility services
- Roof spaces
- External walls
- Floors
- Extensions
A mouse doesn't need anything resembling a normal doorway to get inside.
Mice in Kitchens
Kitchens provide almost everything mice need: warmth, food, water and hiding places.
Activity is frequently concentrated behind kitchen units and appliances where mice can move around relatively undisturbed.
Mice Can Damage Electrical Wiring
Rodents may gnaw electrical cables as well as timber, packaging and other materials.
For that reason, a mouse infestation shouldn't simply be ignored because the animals aren't being seen regularly.
