Mice are a common problem in North Lakes, especially once the weather cools. They are small enough to slip through a gap the width of a pen, and they breed quickly, so a few mice in the garage can soon be in the pantry. We book a nearby crew for mouse control and give you upfront pricing on the call.
Signs of mice include small dark droppings in drawers and cupboards, chewed food packets, shredded paper or fabric and a musty smell in enclosed spaces. Mice also leave greasy smudges along skirting boards where their fur brushes past. The crew we book checks the kitchen, pantry, laundry and garage, along with the gaps behind appliances and under kickboards, where mice like to nest.
- Kitchen, pantry, laundry and garage checked
- Mouse traps placed along walls and inside cupboards
- Bait stations where they suit your household
- Gaps around pipes, cables and doors found
- Tips on food storage and clutter
Mice move along walls rather than across open floors, so traps go hard against skirting boards, behind appliances and inside cabinets. They are curious, so they tend to find new traps sooner than rats do. In townhouses and units, mice can travel between homes through shared walls and roof spaces, so the crew may suggest talking to neighbours or the body corporate.
Sealing is what stops new mice using the same path. The crew can seal small gaps with steel wool, mesh and sealant, priced before they start. Food stored in glass or hard plastic containers, not bags or boxes, gives mice far less reason to stay. Call 07 3543 7771 to book mouse control in North Lakes.
