SIGNS OF MICE
Quickly check for these 5 things:
Droppings
Small, dark pellets (about 3–6 mm long), shaped like grains of rice with pointed ends.
Smudge Marks
Light grease marks or faint dark streaks along walls, baseboards, and corners from repeated movement.
Noises
Soft scratching, scurrying, or squeaking sounds, most noticeable at night inside walls or ceilings.
Gnaw Marks
Tiny chew holes in food packaging and fine teeth marks on wood, cardboard, or electrical wires.
The Smell
A musty, slightly ammonia-like odour, especially noticeable in cupboards, drawers, or enclosed spaces.
When to worry
If you see these signs , the mouse problem is no longer "DIY"
Mice are usually active at night. Seeing one during the day can indicate overcrowding and a growing nest.
Mouse gnawing can damage wiring and increase the risk of electrical faults or fire. Exposed copper should be addressed immediately.
Mice near food preparation or storage areas pose a serious hygiene and contamination risk.
Fresh droppings appearing daily often mean the population is increasing quickly.
If you spot a mouse during daylight hours or find chewed electrical wiring, the risk to health and property is significantly higher.

Mouse Control Services
The House Mouse, and sometimes the Long-Tailed Field Mouse are found in buildings as they seek the warmth and shelter for nesting sites and food. The House Mouse body length ranges between 60-90mm, and the tail can add 100mm. They weigh less than 25g, and their fur colour varies between light brown and grey.
PGM offers lots of advice and assistance for prevention and proofing works in both domestic and commercial settings.
