Mouse Proofing

They can climb vertical surfaces, survive without water and cause severe and dangerous damage to property and belongings with their constantly growing, razor-sharp teeth, making them a stubborn and distressing pest.

Any mouse that got into your home would have also left an invisible trail of urine, which not only spreads disease but also paints a bright sign for other mice saying “warm home and free food this way!”

This is why DIY attempts to get rid of mice almost never work and pest “controllers” who just throw down traps and poison have no idea what they’re doing. Kill all the mice you like, their keen senses and acrobatic abilities will lead them back into your home again and again.

The only way to guarantee you won’t see mice in your house is to get professional mouse proofing, and we’re proud to say that Environ are the best and most trusted mouse controllers in London, used by homeowners, councils, landlords, international companies, beloved brands and anyone else bothered by these persistent pests.

The first step is to inspect the to figure out how mice got inside your home in the first place. Typical paths inside are gaps under doors and windows, air bricks, drains, pipes and other service lines. Because mice are skilled climbers, this inspection needs to be from basement to roof.

If you’re in an adjoining property, above a shop or in a block of flats, we’ll also check for possible points of entry from your neighbours, who may have a mouse problem of their own which is spilling over into your home.

Next we investigate the interior, searching every nook and cranny – from deep in wardrobes and attics to beneath radiators and cupboards – to find evidence of existing or potential mouse entry points.

This is often given away by rice-sized droppings or smearing – greasy marks left over where mice have rubbed up against walls and floors – but some signs are invisible and require the use of ultraviolet lamps to reveal trails of urine that can lead us straight to hidden holes.

Whatever we find will be photographed and presented to your in a detailed report which tells you exactly how mice are getting into your property, along with our recommendations for rodent proofing and how much it would cost you.

Once you agree to our quote, we’ll arrange a convenient time for our BPCA certified mouse controllers to completely fortify your home against unwanted furry pests.

Because the other half of Environ is property services, we have in-house tradespeople whose skill and attention to detail allow us to go above and beyond to mouse proof your home and leave it looking better than ever once we’re done, whether you need cupboards fixed, floorboards pulled up or skirting boards replaced.

1. We perform a full site inspection to identify entry points, which can be as narrow as the width of a ballpoint pen.
2. Fill any holes with a gnaw-proof fillers and cover air bricks and vents with micromesh grills – never use wire wool or expanding foam.
3. Optionally cover the gaps beneath doors with professional grade brush strips.
4. To prevent reinfestation, you should seal all foodstuffs in rodent-proof lockboxes.
