Mice
Humane Mice Removal in Oxfordshire – Safe, Ethical & Effective
One of the most common signs that you may have a mouse problem is the presence of small, dark droppings—typically around the size of a grain of rice—found near food sources, in kitchen cupboards, under sinks, or along skirting boards. You might also hear faint scratching, gnawing, or scurrying noises, particularly at night when mice are most active.
These small rodents are incredibly adept at entering buildings through tiny gaps—sometimes no larger than the diameter of a pencil. Cracks in brickwork, gaps under doors, or holes around pipework are all potential entry points. Once inside, they seek warmth, shelter, and food, quickly settling in and causing problems.
Why Mouse Infestations Should Be Taken Seriously
Although mice may appear small and harmless, they can cause considerable disruption and damage:
Health Risks: Mice can carry and spread dangerous diseases such as Hantavirus, Salmonella, and Listeria through their urine, droppings, and nesting materials. Contamination of food and preparation surfaces is a major concern, especially in homes with children or vulnerable adults.
Property Damage: Mice have a constant need to gnaw to keep their teeth from growing too long. This leads to chewed wires, insulation, wood, and even plastic plumbing. Electrical fires are a real risk if gnawed wiring goes unnoticed.
Rapid Breeding: A single pair of mice can produce dozens of offspring in a single year. Left unchecked, a small infestation can escalate very quickly.
Our Humane Mouse Control Process
At the heart of our mouse control service in Oxfordshire is a commitment to humane, non-toxic, and environmentally responsible methods. Unlike some pest control providers, we prioritise ethical treatment and long-term prevention over harmful extermination. Our comprehensive approach includes:
Detailed Inspection
We begin by conducting a full assessment of your property to locate signs of activity, identify nesting sites, and pinpoint entry routes.Humane Trapping and Removal
Where necessary, we use live traps that capture mice safely and allow for their release far away from your property, in accordance with wildlife guidelines.Exclusion and Proofing
Once the mice are removed, we focus on keeping them out. We seal off any entry points using rodent-proof materials, install door sweeps, and recommend changes to reduce attractants.Advice and Preventative Measures
Our team will provide you with practical, tailored advice on how to keep your home or business mouse-free. This includes food storage tips, reducing clutter, and addressing structural vulnerabilities.Follow-Up Support
