It is so small, but it still gives me the creeps. Residents of Yorkshire, UK, who have to deal with these critters in their homes are often scared and often end up hospitalized because of the many diseases that rodents may carry.

In spite of their attractive look, these pests cause extensive damage to electrical wiring, insulation, food products, and more, and they carry a number of diseases and ailments, including Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome.

What is the quickest way to eliminate mice?

Rapid Birth Cycles Demand Swift Responses!

Even though one house mouse might not seem like much of an issue at first, a mouse population can quickly become out of control if left unchecked. The common field mouse, sometimes known as the wood mouse, is the most common mouse species in the United Kingdom.

Females of this species of mouse often have anywhere from five to ten litters every year, producing anything from three to twelve offspring (or “pups”) as a result. It is easy to see how mouse populations can quickly grow out of control when you consider that a female mouse can achieve sexual maturity in as little as 5-6 weeks.

Simple mouse traps and baits are examples of do-it-yourself solutions, but time is not on your side. Consequently, employing a service such as Apex Pest Control is often the best option for effective and rapid mouse eradication.

Apex’s mouse control is the cheapest and fastest way to fix the problem and stop it from happening again. Call Apex Pest Control immediately for professional mouse extermination from licensed exterminators.

Dangers of Mice Infestations

The health of you and your family can be severely compromised, if not lost, if you share a home with mice. Because mice tend to set up shop near where people get their food, there is a genuine risk of contamination from their pee and other bodily fluids.

Concerns about health caused by mouse infestations typically center on:

• Development of or worsening of allergies and asthma
• Hantavirus viral disease
• Salmonellosis bacterial infection
• Lyme disease
• Rotavirus
• Lice
• Ticks
• And more

Exterminating Mice in Yorkshire: A Step-by-Step Guide

Providers of Humane and Effective Mouse Eradication Services

Step 1: Identification

Field mice and wood mice are the most likely suspects, although identifying them can be difficult because of the differences in their habits, habitat preferences, and reproductive life cycles. The first step in any strategy for mouse eradication is to pinpoint the enemy pest.

At Apex, we have a staff of highly trained and educated pest control experts who can quickly and accurately determine the species of mouse that has invaded your home or company.

Step 2: Determine any Underlying Causes

We look for underlying causes of the rodent infestation to eliminate before adopting any preventative measures. Our experts can promptly assess your property and help you identify and remove all potential mouse harborage areas and food sources.

Step 3: Identify Points of Entry

We are well aware of the presence of mice in the area. Finding and closing off potential “entry” points is a crucial part of our services in preventing further infestation.

Step 4: Chemical or Non-chemical Treatment

Apex Pest Control uses state-of-the-art methods, tools, and industry standards for pest management to ensure the highest quality results for our customers.

Every strategy and treatment plan is tailor-made to meet the unique challenges of the infestation at hand. Different species, mating cycles, levels of disturbance or damage, and other factors can necessitate different approaches to treatment.

At Apex, we employ several methods, both chemical and non-chemical, for managing mouse populations.

Step 5: Preventative Measures

Once the mice have been eradicated and are no longer a problem, we may shift our focus to prevention. We want our customers to feel safe knowing that the critters are not likely to return to the scene of the crime.

Step 6: Follow-up

It is important to us at Apex Pest Control that our customers remain pest-free long after we have left the premises.

Non-Chemical Mice Control Treatments

Using the safest and most effective control techniques is our constant goal at Apex Pest Control. We must use methods that are safe for their children, pets, and whole family because many of our clients require it.

We use a range of “non-chemical” mouse control methods as a result, including:

1. Exclusion and Sealing – rodent proofing

The process of eradicating mice from a home or commercial building is essential. Exclusion is the process of using physical barriers to prevent mice from entering structures.

Any holes or crevices large enough for mice are sealed off and the building is secured. Keep in mind that they can squeeze through the tiniest opening by flattening out their bodies. These creepy-crawlies are able to enter through openings roughly the size of a #2 pencil.

Common Entry Points for Mice:

• Small holes around utility lines or services entering the building
• Garage doors and loose seals
• Cracks in the foundation
• Improper door seals
• Loose side panelling
• And more

Openings are Sealed Using a Combination of:

• Metal screens
• Flashing
• Door sweeps
• Commercial sealants
• Wood putty
• Concrete or stucco mixtures (for exertion or foundations)
• And more

2. Sanitation & Elimination of Food and Bedding

Sources

Mice can find their way into even the tidiest of houses through cracks or by stumbling upon anything they find interesting. Both the interior and exterior of the home or company will be protected.

Items we Address Include:

• Sanitation
• Water and food sources
• Food storage techniques
• Clutter
• Debris
• Materials that mice use for bedding or nests
• And more

3. Traps and Mechanical Devices

In non-poisonous mouse control systems, mechanical devices and traps are the primary methods utilized for capturing, removing, and eradicating mice.

Traditional Snap Traps

These “spring-loaded” traps are widely used and easy to obtain in the United Kingdom. They are placed in strategic locations throughout the mice’s travel pathways and enticed with peanut butter. When activated, these traps instantly dispose of the rodent.

Glue or “Sticky” Traps

These traps are covered on one side with a commercially available, high-tack adhesive, as the name suggests. When the mouse approaches, they get caught in the trap. Mice can not regulate their body temperature while stuck on a sticky trap, therefore they quickly get hypothermic and die.

Live Traps

Customers who prefer to “catch and release” the mice from their home or business will find live traps to be an effective alternative. If the mice are released far enough from the house and into an area with plenty of bedding and food, this eco-friendly option is just as effective.

Methods for Chemical and Poison Mouse Control

Customers in the Yorkshire, UK area can rely on us to use non-mechanical methods, such as the placement of rodent baits placed around their homes.

We take special precautions while utilizing these items, positioning them so as to discourage access by both humans and canine companions.

Could I Use a Mouse Fumigation?

Sometimes, fumigation is a very effective method for getting rid of cockroaches and other invasive pests. However, fumigation is not usually used or recommended for rodents like mice. Chemicals and poisons are employed in the fumigation procedure.

Humans can safely reenter the area once enough air has cleared because the insecticides needed to get rid of a small bug are much less hazardous. The kind of fumigation required to kill mice would require a considerably stronger toxin and could be hazardous to anyone trying to return to the area.

Furthermore, it is common for rats and mice to live under floors, in walls, and in other difficult-to-reach areas. Dead mouse carcasses left behind after fumigation would decompose in walls and other hard-to-reach places. Believe us when we say that the smell is awful.

How Much Does a Treatment for Mice Pest Control Cost?

Here at Apex Pest Control, we take great pride in offering professional mouse control services that deliver exceptional results at fair prices. Regarding the cost of rodent or mouse pest control, a number of factors could affect our prices.

These include:

• Severity or extent of the infestation
• Size of the property and building
• Types of treatments needed or selected
• Any additional repairs necessary
• And more

For instance, setting and baiting four traps, including inspection, usually costs about £110.
