How to control a mouse infestation in Liverpool. I was called out to a mouse problem in Aigburth, Liverpool. An inspection of the property located mouse droppings. The droppings were concentrated under kitchen units and inside cupboards. In addition, the mice had gnawed into a box of cereal.
I then surveyed the loft space, where I found more mouse droppings. As a result, there were signs of a mouse infestation found on the thermal insulation. In addition a nest was found in an old, rolled up carpet.
Possible entry points for mice
Mice can use very small holes to gain access into buildings. For example, points of entry include air vents, pipes and voids around doors. Mice are very good climbers. They can climb up an external wall especially if the brickwork is rough. Consequently, they can gain access into roof spaces through gaps in brick work, soffits and eaves.
Methods used to control a mouse infestation
I carried out a treatment in the kitchen, living room and loft. Of course, the safety of the public and domestic animals is a priority. As a result, bait points were set in safe locations or in lockable stations.
To locate any possible entry points, I carried out a full external perimeter inspection of the property. Activity was then monitored following treatment. So, this is how to control a mouse infestation in Liverpool.
