The droppings you found - are they from mice or rats?

See the pictures to give you a better idea as to whose they are.

Mice droppings

Bit smaller than rice grains - and dark in colour. Regular in shape.

Rats droppings

Are larger, and can be a bit irregular in shape. Also dark.

Have you found droppings, and need our help?

At MG Pest Control we have an effective system for either issue - developed over years of experience. Mice tend to be easier to manage. Rats can be a bit more difficult, especially when trying to work out how they are gaining access. Often in residential settings, rats gain access via a fault in the sewer system under the property somewhere. The problem is that often homes have been altered over the decades. This can create redundant sections of sewer, which if not properly sealed off, can create an access point.

With Mice - they can literally walk in through an air brick, or the smallest gap under a door, or hole around a pipe.

If your building is only part of a larger building, then you probably can't control the areas you don't own, or occupy. Meaning any rodents in these areas, can often access your area.
