Mice are small enough to squeeze through a gap the width of a pen, which makes them hard to keep out of older homes in New Farm. They move in when the weather cools, nest behind kitchen cupboards, inside wall cavities and under stoves, and chew through food packets in the pantry. You might notice tiny droppings on benches, a musty smell in cupboards or scratching behind the fridge at night. A single pair can have several litters in a year.
We take your call, ask where you are seeing signs and give you upfront pricing. Then we book a nearby independent crew. Because mice travel only short distances from their nest, the crew we book focuses on the rooms where you are seeing activity and works outward from there. Here is what that usually involves.
- Checking kitchens, laundries and cupboards for droppings and chewed packaging
- Looking behind appliances and under sinks where pipes enter the wall
- Setting traps or lockable bait stations close to the nest
- Placing everything out of reach of children and pets
- Showing you gaps around pipes, vents and doors that need filling
In a unit, mice often move between apartments through service ducts and shared walls, so the crew may suggest you mention it to your neighbours or body corporate. Around New Farm, storing food in sealed tubs, wiping benches at night and fixing door seals all help keep numbers down once the treatment has done its job. The crew will point out what is worth doing at your place.
Call 07 3543 7768 to book mouse removal. We will give you the price on the phone and set a time with a local crew, same-day or next-day where the run allows.
