If you need the Best Mice Treatment, what works:
1. A cat? Like many buildings in London, Essex and Kent, Downing Street is constantly trying to control and prevent mice infestations. In our experience, cats don't make much difference. In fact, a cat can even introduce a mouse issue - bringing a live mouse as an offering. Cats are pampered and not in the food chain, so rarely perform well as a pest controller for mice.
2. Sonic plugs? We visit lots of places with these, but they still have mice!
3. Snap traps? You'll catch some, but you won't control the mouse issue with just snap traps
4. Glue Boards? They work (the DIY ones don't work that well though), but are cruel and very time intensive - messy as well
5. Poison? Works really well, if you have the right poison, and know what to do with it (cavities are key)
6. Electronic Traps? We have found the rat version of these works very well (but often you can't get them where the mice are, e.g. cavities)
7. Proofing? DON'T proof the internal holes. These warn you that the mice are there, plus can be used to get treatment to where the mice are - in the cavities. Regarding external holes, no point proofing these unless you can do the whole building. Problem is most people live in a flat, semi or terrace home. So you don't own or control the whole building. Mice don't do door numbers....they do a building. So, they'll get in somewhere, and come along to you.
At MG Pest Control we recommend you have a proper pest control strategy in place to tackle the mouse issue. We are confident our Mice Treatment will work, and normally after just one visit for residential properties. If you are in Kent, Essex or London, give us a call if you'd like to know how we stop your mice.
