Ossett's stone terraces and later housing, west of Wakefield, each present gaps and voids that mice use. We find them before the problem spreads.
Ossett has a textile history, and the stone terraces built for that trade form the oldest part of the housing. Over time, pointing erodes, airbricks weather and old pipe holes get filled badly, giving mice small but sufficient openings. Newer housing around the edges contributes gardens, garages and sheds close to the back door. Cavities in older walls let them move about unseen and unheard.
Mice are most active at night and prefer to stay near walls, so you may notice droppings along skirting boards, behind the cooker or in the back of a cupboard long before you see a mouse. When we visit, we trace these signs to an entry point and the likely nest. Treatment cost depends on the property, the extent of the problem and visits required, and we give a free quote before work begins. Fully insured and trained technicians complete each visit.
Along skirting boards, behind appliances, inside cupboards and in lofts. Fresh ones are dark and soft; older ones look dry and grey. Wear gloves and a mask when cleaning, and wash hands afterwards. Wear gloves and avoid sweeping them dry.
Rarely, when there is warmth and food. Mice breed quickly, so numbers tend to grow rather than shrink. Prompt treatment and sealing the entry points gives a good chance of stopping it before it spreads. Early action stops small groups becoming large ones.
