I’m dealing with a mouse problem.
What is a mouse?
Mice are small rodents commonly found in homes, businesses, warehouses, and commercial properties. The most common species found indoors is the House Mouse. Mice are highly adaptable and can survive in a wide range of environments as long as they have access to food, water, and shelter.
Due to their small size, mice can squeeze through tiny gaps and openings, making it easy for them to enter properties through cracks, vents, pipe gaps, and under doors. Once inside, they often nest in lofts, kitchens, wall cavities, storage areas, and behind appliances where it is warm and hidden.
Although small, mice can still cause significant problems. They contaminate food, damage property by gnawing on wires and materials, and can spread bacteria across surfaces. Mice reproduce very quickly, meaning a small issue can rapidly turn into a larger infestation if not treated early.
When are mice most active?
Mice are mainly active at night, so many people notice signs of activity before actually seeing the animal itself. Detecting these signs early is important to prevent the infestation from spreading further throughout the property. Mouse droppings are usually small and shaped similarly to grains of rice. Because mice constantly chew to control the growth of their teeth, gnaw damage is also a strong indicator of activity. Mice tend to move along edges and walls for protection, which is why activity is often concentrated around skirting boards, behind appliances, and in hidden areas.
What is the difference between rats and mice?
Although rats and mice are both rodents, there are several clear differences between them in terms of size, behavior, and the type of damage they cause. Rats usually cause more severe structural damage because of their size and strength. Mice, however, can spread quickly through properties due to their ability to squeeze into very small spaces. Another important difference is behavior. Mice are often more active and easier to spot moving quickly around rooms or kitchens, while rats tend to stay hidden and move more cautiously.
Understanding whether you are dealing with rats or mice is important because treatment methods, bait placement, and proofing strategies can differ depending on the type of rodent involved.
What are the signs of mice
• Small dark droppings around cupboards, kitchens, lofts, or food storage areas.

• Gnaw marks on food packaging, wires, wood, and plastic.
