Mouse Control & Prevention – Get Rid of Mice Fast!
Mice are one of the most persistent and destructive pests, invading homes and businesses across Newcastle, Sunderland, and Durham. With their rapid reproduction, ability to chew through wires, and risk of spreading diseases, mice require professional pest control for complete eradication.
Signs You Have a Mouse Problem
Mice are nocturnal and often go unnoticed until the infestation worsens. Look out for these warning signs:
Droppings: Small, dark, pellet-shaped droppings—up to 75 per day.
Urine Trails: Mice drag their tails through urine, leaving contamination behind.
Scratching Noises: Heard inside walls, lofts, or under floorboards, especially at night.
Foul Odours: A musty smell from nesting areas or dead mice.
Gnaw Marks: Damaged food packaging, wires, and furniture.
Burrowing: Mice may nest in loft insulation, compost heaps, or wall cavities.
Why Professional Mouse Control Is Essential
Mice multiply fast—a single female can have up to 60 offspring per year, meaning a small problem can quickly escalate.
🚫 Resistant to standard poisons: Mice are cautious eaters, making DIY solutions ineffective.
⚡ Property damage: They chew wires, creating a fire hazard, and gnaw through pipes, leading to leaks.
🦠 Health risks: Mice spread diseases like salmonella, hantavirus, and listeria through urine and droppings.
Pest Shield’s professional technicians use advanced baiting and trapping techniques to ensure complete eradication of your mouse infestation.
How to Prepare for Mouse Treatment
To help us eliminate the infestation quickly, please:
✅ Leave mouse droppings and damage untouched for inspection.
✅ Identify areas of activity and check if neighbours have also noticed signs.
✅ Remove food sources, including pet food and bird feed.
✅ Clean up crumbs and food debris under kitchen appliances and cabinets.
What to Expect After Treatment
⚡ Baiting Process: We place tamper-proof bait stations at key locations. It may take a few days for mice to feed, but this ensures the entire colony is eliminated.
⚡ Follow-up Visit: We return to check bait stations, remove any dead mice, and apply biocidal spray to sanitize affected areas.
⚡ Odour Management: Some mice may die in hidden areas, but we safely dispose of any accessible remains.
Preventing Future Infestations
🛑 Seal Entry Points: Mice squeeze through gaps as small as 1cm—we identify and block these areas.
🛑 Proper Waste Management: Keep bins sealed and food stored in mouse-proof containers.
🛑 Reduce Outdoor Nesting Sites: Trim vegetation, clear compost heaps, and avoid feeding wild birds.
