Rodents

Rats and mice have the ability to adapt themselves to almost any environment and nearly always have an adverse effect by spreading harmful pathogens, damaging property and food and sometimes causing physical contamination through droppings. There’s also the psychological fear they can cause in many people. With our rat and mice control service your rodent problems will be a thing of the past.

Rodents can have a detrimental effect on business activities, resulting in severe financial loss.  Business continuity and profits can suffer, especially if your workforce walks out on strike because oft he presence of vermin. Getting rid of mice and rats has to be a priority for you and of course, prevention is always better than cure. This is why we at MITIE have developed a detailed mice and rat control service.

The two main rodent pests to look out for are:

The Common Mouse – 2.5 cm in length and vary from brown to grey in colour;

The Common Rat –7.5-10 cm in length and vary from grey to brown to black in colour. 

A mouse only needs an opening of a quarter inch (6mm) to get into your property which is why proofing is so important. If you already have a pest problem our pest control technicians can seal up the most common entry points - pipes, wires, cables and underneath doorways.

We recommend:·          

• Door proofing with brush strip;·          
  
• Concertina proofing with brush strip;·          
  
• Use cement mortar around pipes; ·          
  
• 12 gauge galvanised weld mesh, aluminium plates, and thrixotropic mouse resistant paste to required areas.
