Mouse Tamper Proof Boxes

Pest Control Liverpool.

We are now moving firmly into the rodent season. The colder nights and less food in the environment are bringing mice and rats scavenging indoors.

This is a photo of tamper resistant mouse boxes with a rodenticide bait inserted on a spike inside each box. Each bait has got a different amount of rodent damage on it, some are almost entirely eaten with only a residue left in the box. This amount of bait eaten indicates much more than just one mouse.

Tamper proof boxes are used to protect children and pets from gaining access to the bait.

Field Mice and Breakback Traps

November 17, 2014 by MERSEYPEST Leave a Comment

Mice can be treated for in many ways. One method is by using break back traps. They have many advantages.

1.) The dead rodent is removed from the property. Sometimes when baits are used the rodent can die in a hard to reach area and cause unpleasant smells.

2.) The type of mouse can be identified which helps in understanding the infestation.

3.) There is no poison left on site so no risk of accidental poisoning or secondary poisoning. Non target species can either eat the bait directly or eat rodents that have died from the poison.

4.) Foods that the mice are eating in a premise can be used as baits.

5.) Traps can be used without bait when the mice have well used runs between their feeding areas.

This is a photo of a field mouse that has been caught today in a customers house. She specified that she didn’t want any poison on site because both her cats and her dog eats mice. The traps were left down for a few days with a small smear of peanut butter on the trap plates. The traps have been left in till next week to ensure there are no more mice. The next step is for her to proof her house to prevent further mouse ingress.

Smelly House Thanks to Mouse

November 16, 2014 by MERSEYPEST Leave a Comment

Pest Control Liverpool.

A customer called me out yesterday for mice in Liverpool. Over the last few weeks she had found mouse droppings in her kitchen and behind the couch. Now she had noticed a funny smell in the bathroom and decided now was the time to call in pest control.

An inspection of the house revelled droppings in the kitchen, lounge, garage, bathroom and roof void. The smell was coming from behind the bath panel. On removal of the panel hundreds of droppings were found but no signs of anything else.

The house had an access point for under the floor boards on the landing. After pulling back the carpet on the landing a mouse hole was found going under the floor boards.

On removal of the boards a mouse nest was found under pipework and a central heating pump. The nest was made of toilet paper dragged in from the bathroom (the pink debris to the side of the pump).

Looking down under the floor boards I could see the cause of the smell. A dead mouse about 3 metres away (difficult to make out on this photo). The dead mouse and nest were removed and replaced with baits to monitor/control any further mice in the house. All other areas were baited also.

Dirty Mice!!!

Pest Control Liverpool.

This photo shows mouse tracks following the line of the mortar between the bricks. This happens when mice habitally use a regular path. The black smear is made up of dirt, grease from the fur and urine. It is an indicator of a long established infestation.

Rats Routes

This rat had been living in a bungalows roof space. The guy who lives here hadn’t heard the rat but when his daughter and family stayed they could hear it in the roof. A first visit was carried out and bait was placed throughout the roof space. On the second visit I had agreed to plug up the gaps under the tiles which were the suspected ingress route. On getting on the garage roof I find this decent sized rat. He must of been on his way back in to the roof when the poison had finally finished him. The gaps under the tiles and flashing have now been filled preventing any further rats getting in.

Starling Nest Site

Pest Control Liverpool, Wirral, Warrington and Chester.

The corner of this house has become home to a family of starlings. They are a rowdy and noisy neighbour to have. The homeowner wants rid sooner rather than later.

The birds cannot be moved until after the birds/chicks have left the nest. The chicks do fledge quickly but the adults can start another clutch of eggs in the same year. Carefully monitoring of the nest is required to make sure the birds are out before it can be cleaned and proofed to prevent further access/usage.

Squirrels and Bee’s…

This was a squirrel treatment that turned in to a bee treatment. The homeowner has had squirrels in his roof space over the Winter. I was treating for them and noticed a few bees flying into one of the holes the squirrels had made. On the return visit just 2 weeks later the few bees had turned in to lots of bees!

It’s never much fun working a Saturday night but if it’s helping people sleep easy it’s definitely worth it. A couple in Formby have found droppings throughout the house and tonight have discovered damaged spuds in the veg draw. Enough is enough the wife exclaimed and went the pub! Leaving the hubbie in with the mouse waiting for me. When I got there the job was simple enough. All areas where the mouse had been where baited up. We even found his nest in the garage under old kitchen units used as tool stores.

Mouse Nest In Aigburth

April 8, 2014 by MERSEYPEST Leave a Comment

A mouse nest found in Aigburth. The customer had heard scrabbling in her roof space in the nighttime. I went in to the roof space to investigate and found a mouse nest complete with baby mice. The customer was extremely lucky she had called at this stage. If these baby mice where allowed to get established she’d have a very different problem on her hands. With pest control it is always important to act fast before an infestation gets out of control.
