We aim to help as many people as possible, no matter where they are.
We deal with large numbers of mouse treatments each year, with much of our work undertaken during the cold winter months. Due to the cold weather, lack of food and predators, mice often seek safety in the homes of residents in nearby towns and cities. With many of the areas we serve in Essex and Suffolk being surrounded by arable farmland, mouse infestations are a common problem.
We offer affordable mouse control services, utilising modern traps, techniques, bait and approved rodenticides. We are here to help rid you of your rodent worries!
We cover the whole of Essex and Suffolk, with large numbers of jobs undertaken in Braintree (CM6), Colchester (CO1), Haverhill (CB9) & Witham (CM8).

Due to surrounding arable farmland, the most common mouse we deal with is the field mouse, sometimes called the wood mouse. During the harvest, mice that were nesting in fields tend to scatter, often ending up in people’s houses.
A native to the UK and with estimates putting numbers at around 40 million, these are a common pest indoors. Known for chewing through pipes and electrical cables, these rodents can cause just as much damage as rats!

The above hierarchy of methods, in order of use, are the ways in which we deal with mice. As with rats, the best treatment is always prevention, people can suffer with mice for years without any luck in finding the root cause of the problem.
Mice deserve the credit they’re due, they are incredibly smart animals that are known for their neophobic behaviour (fear of new objects or changes in their environment). Mice are becoming increasingly trap-shy, with some being resistant to rodenticides, making it harder for people to resolve the problem themselves.
That’s where we come in, we’ve been dealing with pest control in Essex & Suffolk for over 20 years. We know exactly what to look for when it comes to mice, how they’re getting in, how to stop them and how to catch them.
We use the latest modern traps, that instantly despatch mice as humanly as possible with a backup arsenal of professional-grade rodenticides in varying methods of delivery.
If you have a mouse problem in Essex or Suffolk and are fed up with living with an ongoing problem, give us a call.
