Mice are common in Surrey, and for many homeowners, spotting one in the house may not seem like a big deal. Yet, ignoring that one mouse is the first step toward a much bigger issue. A mouse infestation can escalate quickly, causing structural damage, spreading disease, and creating an unhealthy living environment. This is why we always recommend calling wildlife control for mice at the very first sign of an issue. 

At Skedaddle, we specialize in professional mouse removal, and we’re here to ensure your home stays safe and mouse-free.

Call Wildlife Control for Mice Before an Infestation Grows

You may be surprised to learn how quickly mice can multiply. A single female mouse can give birth to a litter every 21 days, with each litter consisting of 5–10 pups. Within six weeks, those pups are mature and can begin reproducing themselves. This rapid reproduction means that what starts as one or two mice can turn into dozens in a matter of months.

Here’s why early intervention is crucial:

• Rapid reproduction: By the time you see one mouse, there’s likely already a family living out of sight.
• Health hazards: Mice shed droppings and urine wherever they travel, potentially spreading diseases like hantavirus, salmonellosis, or leptospirosis.
• Structural damage: Mice chew on wood, drywall, wires, and insulation, which can lead to costly damage and even fire hazards caused by gnawed electrical wires.
• Food contamination: Mice can chew through packaging to contaminate your food with droppings and urine.

By calling wildlife control as soon as you see a mouse, you can prevent these issues from escalating. Quick action is the best defence against a full-blown infestation.

Mouse Infestation Solutions That Actually Work

Once mice gain entry into your home, it’s essential to deal with the problem effectively to prevent recurring issues. At Skedaddle, we have decades of experience providing mouse infestation solutions that work. Here’s what we do differently:

1. Comprehensive Home Assessment

The first step is understanding how mice are getting into your home. Mice can squeeze through holes as small as a dime, and we know exactly where to look for these entry points. Common access points include:

• • Gaps around windows and doors
  • Open weep vents in brickwork
  • Holes around plumbing and utility lines
  • Damaged rooflines or shingles

Our detailed inspections allow us to identify every route mice use to access your property.

2. Humane Removal

We use humane methods to ensure all mice leave your home safely. Our technicians install one-way doors at entry points, allowing mice to exit while preventing them from re-entering. This method is effective and ensures minimal stress on the animals.

3. Mouse-Proofing Your Home

The most critical step is sealing all potential entry points to prevent future infestations. We use durable materials like heavy-gauge steel screens and exclusive wildlife exclusion sealants to ensure your home stays secure. This step is vital because even after removing mice, new ones from the neighbourhood can follow the scent trails left behind and gain entry if openings aren’t sealed.

4. Cleaning and Decontamination

Mice can leave behind droppings, urine, and other contaminants that pose health risks. Our team thoroughly cleans and decontaminates the affected areas, ensuring your home is safe and sanitary once the mice are gone.

5. Follow-Up and Monitoring  

After the initial removal and sealing process, our service doesn’t end there. We conduct follow-up visits to monitor the situation and ensure no new activity is detected. This proactive approach allows us to address any potential issues promptly and provides you with peace of mind, knowing that your home remains protected over time.

6. Customer Education and Prevention Tips  

Our commitment to service includes educating our customers on effective prevention techniques. During our visits, we provide practical advice on how to reduce the likelihood of future infestations, such as proper food storage, waste management, and home maintenance tips. By empowering you with this knowledge, we help you maintain a pest-free environment in the long term.

Our approach targets the root cause of the infestation rather than just addressing the symptoms. This is why our methods provide long-term results.

Professional Mouse Removal Keeps Your Home Safe

Although DIY methods like traps and poisons may seem like an easy solution, they often fail to deliver the lasting results you need. Here’s why professional mouse removal is a better choice:

The Problem With Traps

Traps can catch some mice, but they don’t deal with the entire infestation or prevent new mice from entering. Additionally, traps must be placed strategically to be effective. Incorrect placement often means wasted time and resources.

The Risks of Using Poisons

Poison is not only inhumane but also dangerous. It poses risks to pets, children, and non-target wildlife. Worse still, poisoned mice often die in hard-to-reach spaces like walls or attics, leaving behind foul odours and further contamination.

Long-Term Prevention

Professional wildlife control services offer a more comprehensive solution. At Skedaddle, we focus on mouse-proofing your home, sealing all potential entry points to ensure they can’t return.

Humane Exclusion Techniques

Using humane exclusion methods is another effective way to address a mouse infestation. These methods are designed to capture mice without causing harm, allowing for their safe relocation away from your home. This approach eliminates the need for toxic chemicals while prioritizing the welfare of the animals. Coupled with preventative measures, humane exclusion can be a reliable part of a long-term solution.

By hiring experts, you’re investing in your home’s safety and avoiding ongoing issues that come with ineffective DIY methods.
