Mice Control Hazlemere

Mice Control in Hazlemere

Hazlemere is mostly post-war family housing and bungalows, largely owner-occupied and self-contained. That is good news: the problem starts and ends within your own walls, which makes it a cleaner job than anything in a terrace or a block.

Bungalows have one feature that matters, and it is the loft.

Ring 01908 465226 and tell us what you have seen in Hazlemere.

Bungalows

A Big Roof Over Every Room

A bungalow has the largest roof area relative to its floor plan of any house type, and every bedroom sits directly under it. A mouse population in a bungalow loft is therefore directly above where people sleep, which is why it gets noticed at two in the morning rather than at all.

The entry point is usually at the eaves or where a service enters at roof level, and the noise is in the ceiling below. We survey the loft perimeter, the insulation for runs and nesting, and the cable and pipe runs for gnawing.

Gardens

Sheds, Compost and Bird Feeders

Where a self-contained house has repeated mouse problems the garden is usually feeding it. A shed with birdseed or bulbs in a paper sack, a compost bin with cooked food going in, a bird feeder scattering seed onto the ground beneath it, and a log store against the house all support a population twenty feet from the back door.

None of those needs to go. Seed into a metal bin, a tray under the feeder, cooked food out of the compost and the log store moved off the wall between them remove most of what is keeping the numbers up.

What we ask

Before We Come to Hazlemere

Tell us whether the noise is in the ceiling, what is stored in the shed, and whether there is a bird feeder. That decides most of what we need to know before we arrive.

You will be told what was found, where the entry points are, what was treated and what proofing is done or still outstanding. Where the way in belongs to somebody else — a neighbour, a landlord, a managing agent, a shared riser — we put it in writing rather than leave you to argue it.

If what you are describing sounds heavier than this — movement overhead with weight to it, droppings 12 to 18mm — it is a different animal: rat control in Hazlemere.
