Mice Control Chesham

Mice Control in Chesham

Chesham's older streets are terraced, the centre has flats above commercial units, and the valley sides put gardens straight against woodland. Each of those produces a different kind of mouse call.

The terraces are the ones people find most frustrating, because the problem often is not theirs.

Terraces

When the Mice Are Not Coming From Your House

In a Victorian terrace the party wall is rarely as solid as it looks once you account for what has been drilled through it, and the floor void frequently runs under more than one property. Mice travel the row without going outside.

So a house can be proofed thoroughly at every external point and still have mice, and the owner concludes the proofing failed. It did not; the problem is arriving from inside the terrace. Where the evidence says that, we say it and we write it down, which is the only thing that reliably gets a neighbour or a landlord involved.

Above shops

A Flat With a Shop Underneath

A flat over a shop shares a floor void, service runs and usually a stair with the unit below. If the unit below handles food, that is a permanent food source directly underneath a home.

We inspect the boundary points as part of the job — the stair head, the service penetrations, the void — and put what we find in writing. Treating one unit while the connected one is untouched is the commonest reason this job has to be done twice.

What we ask

Before We Come to Chesham

Tell us whether it is mid-terrace or a flat, what is above and below, and whether neighbours have the same problem. That decides most of what we need to know before we arrive.

After the visit you get a plain account of what was found, what was done and which gaps are closed. Businesses and landlords get it in writing for their own records, which is what an inspector or an auditor asks to see.

Not sure whether it is mice or rats? Droppings settle it, and there is a page on the difference: rat control in Chesham.
