Mice and Rat Proofing

Rat and Mice Proofing Services

Proofing your property against mice and rats is the best long-term solution for avoiding future infestations. Rodents can squeeze through surprisingly small spaces, with mice able to fit through gaps as small as 6mm and rats through holes the size of a 20p coin. Rat and mice infestations are a common issue in the UK, particularly in urban areas and older properties. These rodents pose health risks, damage buildings, and can contaminate food supplies. Rat and mice proofing your home or business is one of the most effective ways to prevent these pests. Our team is available 24 hours a day. 7 days a week and if you need us in an emergency, we aim to get a pest exterminator to you 30-90 minutes* after your call.

Protect Your Property with Rat and Mice Proofing

Our rat and mice proofing services may involve inspecting your home for potential entry points such as cracks in walls, gaps around doors and windows, and openings around pipes and cables. In addition to providing physical barriers, we can also advise on improving sanitation and storage practices, as proper waste management is also crucial for deterring rats and mice. This will reduce anything that could potentially attract pests, such as exposed food waste and opportunities for sheltering spots.

How do I know if I need mice or rat proofing?
Things to look out for with both rats and mice include droppings, gnawed materials and food packaging, nests made of shredded paper, and scratching noises. Rats also leave grease smudges along walls.
Can mice and rats spread diseases?
Yes, both can carry and spread diseases such as Leptospirosis, Salmonella, Hantavirus, and Rat-bite fever. Rats in particular can be more aggressive, so can scratch or bite.
What areas of a property are typically vulnerable?
Common areas for both residential and commercial properties include lofts, any basement or garage areas, certain vents, and gaps around doors and windows. We offer complete proofing for properties such as homes, offices, warehouses, and more.
What should I do before you proof my property?
Clearing any clutter and removing any accessible food sources would make sure we can reach and identify all potential access points effectively.
Does mice proofing and rat proofing completely eliminate the risk of infestation?
While it greatly reduces the risk, regular maintenance and sanitation practices are still necessary to keep pests away. Regular checks are recommended every six months to a year or after any renovations. The techniques we use work for both rats and mice.
How long does mice proofing a property take?
Depending on the size of the property, proofing can take anywhere from a few hours to a couple of days.
