Wildlife Pest Control - The Mouse

The presence of mice in a building can be disastrous to both structure and reputation. Mice teeth grow throughout their lives so they need to gnaw continuously to wear them down. Their instincts often cause damage to electrical cables, pipes and support structures.

Mice can also carry many diseases, such as tuberculosis, gastro-enteritis, salmonella, rat-bite fever, leptospirosis and many others. Mice droppings contaminate kitchen surfaces and food stocks. Mice foul wherever they travel as they are incontinent. Mouse droppings are therefore tell tale signs of the presence of mice in a property.

Many insurance companies will no longer cover damage caused by mice.

Mice breed at an alarming rate!

It has been calculated that if two mice were left in a building with twelve months supply of food their population could grow to 2000!

How to get rid of mice in your house or outbuildings

The use of mice gels, contact dusts, mouse traps and mouse baits will control a mouse problem in the home or outbuildings. However, unless used in conjunction with effective mouse proofing measures, a re-infestation will likely occur within weeks. Hawk Force can draw up a report on how best to mouse proof your property and prevent mice from getting into your house or outbuildings.
