From Victorian stone terraces to large detached homes, Horsforth properties offer mice plenty of cover. We trace the routes in and deal with the cause, not just the droppings.
Larger detached houses on the Horsforth side of Leeds tend to have more places for mice to hide: integral garages, loft conversions, conservatories and long cavity walls. A mouse that gets in at ground level can reach the roof void unseen through the cavity. Because the house is bigger, signs are easy to miss until droppings turn up in a cupboard or a smell builds behind a fitted wardrobe.
Victorian terraces and inter-war semis suit mice in another way. Floorboards over ventilated voids, old pipework and gaps where an extension was added years ago all create small openings. We start with a survey inside and out, then decide between traps, bait or a mix, depending on where children, pets and food are. Fully insured and trained technicians carry out the work, and commercial service contracts are available for local businesses.
Yes. Insulation and boxed-in eaves give mice warm nesting spots and they can chew cables there. We inspect access hatches and eaves, remove activity and seal the gaps they used, as far as the construction allows. Droppings tell us where to look first.
It depends on the property, where the activity is and who else shares the space. Traps suit some areas and bait boxes others. We explain the choice at the survey and adjust at follow-up visits if needed. Either way we explain the reasoning.
Mice Control across Leeds and Yorkshire · Pest control in Horsforth
Mice are small, quiet and mostly nocturnal, so you usually meet the evidence before the animal. Here is what to look for and how to tell it apart from rats and other household pests.
Read the advice →Getting rid of mice takes more than a trap behind the sofa. Removal works when you cut off access, take out the animals already inside and remove what attracted them.
Read the advice →There is no single price for dealing with mice because every job is different. These are the things that move the cost up or down, so you can see why a quote looks the way it does.
Read the advice →Mice do far more harm than their size suggests. Contamination, gnawing and nesting can affect food, wiring and insulation, and the signs are worth recognising early.
Read the advice →Once mice have been cleared, the aim is to stop a repeat. Prevention combines closing gaps, removing food and watching for early signs, and most of it is simple and low effort.
Read the advice →Plenty of mouse problems can be handled at home, and some cannot. This guide sets out where DIY helps, where it tends to fail and how to choose someone to do the job properly.

Thank you Sean and Zack for your speedy and efficient response to our wasp problem. We originally thought we had 2 wasps nests but on the end had 4. After our initial call they came out the next day and even came out a few days later when another next was discovered. Thank you, we will definitely recommend you.Mrs Carter8 August 2018
