Customer Mouse Picture

March 15, 2019 by MERSEYPEST 178 Comments

Customer Mouse Picture - Pest Control Liverpool

This is a picture took by a customer. It shows his kitchen with a mouse sitting boldly on the worktop.

Its often said to me that the mouse didn’t even move “Bold as brass just staring at me”.

This is because a mouse has very poor eyesight in comparison to ours. A mouse has evolved to live in small spaces and undergrowth where there is no specific benefit to having good eyesight. When a person walks in to a room the mouse freezes as it hears the activity and detects the change in air movement. It often appears as there just staring at us but in fact it stops moving to hide its presence. After a moment or two it will dart for cover.

Mouse Control Smear Marks

November 14, 2018 by MERSEYPEST 71 Comments

Mice are an extremely determined pest. They are so small that they can fit in a hole that a pen can fit in. Keeping them out of a property can be extremely hard.

Signs to look for in your house for infestation are droppings, smear marks and the mice themselves. The droppings are small like grains of rice and are either dark brown or black. The smear marks are greasy marks where the mouse uses the same path over and over again. They can become extremely obvious over time. These photos are from a grain store in a stables. The mice have been here for many years and in some numbers.

At MerseyPest we specialise in all types of pest control. Call us to speak to an expert.

November the Month of the Rat

November 13, 2018 by MERSEYPEST Leave a Comment

pest control liverpool

As the weather gets colder the local rodent populations start to struggle more outside. Food becomes more scarce and rats start to seek warmer harbourage points.

Its essential at this time of year to make sure your house is proofed against any unwanted ingress. It can be as simple as walking round the outside of the house and making sure all small holes are filled.

Places to pay attention to are around pipes, where original mortar may have cracked and fallen away. Any loose pointing around bricks. Under door sills and window sills and around garage doors.

To prevent mice coming in is slightly more difficult as they as so small. It is still worth doing the same checks as for rats but also using a fine grade stainless steel mesh to cover over air vents in bricks. Mice can easily pass through these. If you can get a pen in to a hole a mouse can pass through it.

Make your house as safe as you can against rodents in Winter.

All the best,

Robin

Mice in Liverpool are found in all areas and all sizes of properties. They are a consistent problem throughout the year. The house mouse is not particularly well suited to life outside in our country and much prefers the warmth of our homes. It originated in warmer parts of the world and spread with trade.

Once mice are in a property they spread rapidly with incredibly quick gestation times and becoming sexually mature within 5 weeks of birth.

If you have mice in your house it is important to act fast to prevent them spreading like wildfire.

We offer a 2 visit program to remove mice from a property. A full house inspection is carried out including the roof, under floors etc. Baits are put throughout the property to control the rodents and a follow up is carried out after 2 weeks to remove the dead animals and clean away the bait.

All this costs just £85. Phone to book today.

Dead Mouse Smell

June 22, 2017 by MERSEYPEST 686 Comments


Dead Mouse Smell

Dead Mouse Smell

A business in town phoned to ask if we could identify where a dead mouse was in their premises. They have had a fairly recent infestation which they had dealt with using baits and sticky boards.

On inspection we discovered that they had forgot to remove one of the sticky boards and the mouse was in an advanced stage of decomposition.

Removing the sticky board instantly removed the smell and the staff could get back to business as normal.

Pest problem? Phone for details.

The Signs Will Be There

January 10, 2016 by MERSEYPEST 227 Comments

pest control liverpool rat hole

Regardless of the mild Winter we’re well in to rodent season. Rats and mice have already found there way in to our homes and have well established routes they take to find their food.

The photo above shows a rat hole chewed in to someones hallway. The rat has gained access to the wall cavity and has chewed through in to the house itself. Once inside it was stealing bread of the side and dragging it in to the wall.

Other signs apart from holes and missing food will be in the house. Droppings will soon appear with mice. Slightly later with rats as they have more distinct toilet areas.

Then possibly the worst of the signs is actually seeing the rodent itself. Walking to the fridge in the evening to encounter a rat on the kitchen floor is pretty startling in your own home.

Any or all of the signs mentioned above should be enough for you to act on the situation. Control measures can be bought from local hardware stores or online, or if you wish you could phone us and we can act upon it for you.

Noises from the Roof

November 9, 2015 by MERSEYPEST 78 Comments

pest control liverpool roof

A customer had heard noises from her roof in the night. In the morning she went in to the roof space to investigate herself.

There was nothing obvious but she was concerned about a vent outlet going through the tiles, so she phoned pest control to get an inspection.

When we got there we pulled back all the insulation and found mouse droppings underneath. We baited around the areas that there was mouse activity.

As the customer was concerned about the vent we went on the roof to check to see if there was a possible ingress point through this vent (squirrels are a big problem in her area). We checked the full roof and found no tiles to be loose and no gaps that squirrels could get through.

A follow will be carried out in 2 weeks to see what takes we get from the mice.

Walsall Business Closed Due to Pests

September 8, 2015 by MERSEYPEST 36 Comments

A recent story about a shop closure due to pests. The story is from the Walsall Advertiser.

A CONVENIENCE store in Walsall was temporarily closed down by environmental health officers after they found evidence of mice activity.

Amid fears that mouse droppings found in food storage areas posed a serious risk to the public’s health, Warwaza Mini Market in Caldmore Green, Walsall was shut down last Monday afternoon (August 31).

Environmental health officers at Walsall Council served a Hygiene Emergency Prohibition Notice on the owners and evidence gathered from the premises was presented at Walsall Magistrates Court on Thursday, September 3, where it was confirmed that the closure notice had been correctly served.

The owners of the business were also ordered to pay £350 costs.

Neil Harris, principal environmental health officer, said: “Rodents in any food premises is a serious issue. Mice spread germs which cause food poisoning as well as contaminating food with droppings and urine.

“All food businesses must be on their guard or they will face closure and hefty fines if they are taken to court.

“Food businesses shouldn’t wait until they see rodents in their businesses and should undertake regular checks under shelves and equipment to look for droppings, gnawed food and other signs of pest activity.

“This is especially important as the weather gets colder and rodents look for places indoors to nest”.

The premises remained closed for three days until officers were satisfied that the activity had been eradicated and the risk to customers had been removed.

The store is now open once again and environmental health officers say the owners have co-operated fully with the council throughout the process.

Rodent Control Boxes

February 26, 2015 by MERSEYPEST 71 Comments

Pest control Liverpool Pest control Liverpool AF boxes

 

We currently use the AF rodent control boxes for our mouse and rat jobs. They have a variety of different shapes and sizes to fit all needs. The photos show 2 of the main boxes we use. The larger box provides a huge amount of bait for heavy infestations. The smaller boxes are great for fitting in to areas other boxes cannot go but also protect non target species from getting the bait.
