Mouse control from Rentokil

Although it is becoming increasingly fashionable to keep mice as pets, it's certainly not to everyone's taste. Millions of folk have an innate fear of rodents so finding your home overrun can be quite a shock - but it can be eliminated with mouse control from Rentokil.

An infestation of mice - despite triggering obvious alarm - can cause serious health risks if their presence from your property is not dealt with in a swift and effective manner.

Mice carry a variety of diseases that can be transferred to humans if the correct precautions aren't taken.

In addition, they cause a great deal of damage to property as they gnaw through furniture and skirting boards and sink their teeth into plastic. These furry rodents have even been known to cause fires in the home as they merrily chew their way through electrical cables.

Keeping an eye on tell-tale signs of mice is essential if you are to establish the extent of the problem and ascertain whether you can deal with it alone. Scratching, droppings and damage to property are all giveaways that you have an infestation of rodents.

They say that prevention is better than cure, so providing a first line of defence to safeguard your property is always advisable. Sealing entry points to your home and storing food in sealed containers can help thwart the adventures of a curious mouse searching for a quick nibble of your lunch.

Leaving mice to get on with it is a particularly bad idea; infestations of mice can grow rapidly and, at that point, DIY methods are rarely going to be effective against such an influx.

In the worst case scenario it is always sensible to call in professional mouse control. Rentokil offer a professional service - with you and your family's safety paramount - to exterminate settlements of mice or continual rodent invasions.
