Mouse control and proofing in Lincolnshire
A clear route from suspected entry point to practical proofing, with the plan explained before work begins.
Children, a baby or pets at home? Tell us when you enquire. We explain the preparation and precautions for your household.
PROOFING WITH A PURPOSE
Find and seal the route properly.
Proofing is about stopping access to the living areas, not simply filling a visible hole. Accessible routes are assessed and the proposed work is explained before it is agreed. Access limitations or further investigation may affect the work and visit plan.
BEFORE WE ARRIVE
Clear the places you think mice may be using.
Areas such as a packed cupboard under the stairs, under-sink units and storage voids need to be accessible. Please clear enough space for us to inspect rather than expecting the technician to empty cupboards. That lets the appointment focus on fixing the route, rather than moving belongings.
THE APPROACH DEPENDS ON ACCESS
Proofing or an agreed baiting programme.
The plan depends on the accessible routes and evidence of activity. Agree the proofing scope or baiting programme, number of visits, monitoring responsibilities and total price before proceeding.
A PRACTICAL TRAP TIP
Why we use gloves around traps.
Gloves help protect the person handling a trap and keep handling hygienic. A trap left untouched does not necessarily mean a rodent detected your scent: its position, bait, competing food and caution around new objects all matter.
A useful domestic-trap tip: use a small amount of a suitable bait, such as peanut butter, following the trap manufacturer’s instructions. Keep traps out of reach of children and pets. Clean used traps according to the manufacturer’s guidance, away from food-preparation equipment.
