Signs Of A Mouse Infestation
Mice might be one of the most recognisable pests you’ll see in your home, but that doesn’t mean you’ll actually encounter one. Mice, like rats, are shy and will avoid human contact where possible, which is why you should look out for other key signs of mouse activity, such as:
- Chew Marks: Like rats and other rodents, such as squirrels, mice have front teeth that never stop growing, so they spend a lot of time gnawing on beams, furniture, walls and other parts of your home, which can leave teeth marks.
- Scratching Sounds: If you have a mouse problem then you’ll usually hear mice scurrying or scratching around in your roof space or wall cavities.
- Mouse Droppings: Mouse droppings are around 3-8mm in length and look like dark brown grains of rice.
If you notice any of these signs of mice, then you need to act fast.

As sweet as mice might seem, they can actually be highly destructive pests. Mice have front teeth that never stop growing, so they spend a lot of time chewing. This can lead to structural damage, which can be expensive to repair.
Also, mice can spread diseases and cause health and safety risks in business premises. They can contaminate food and cause a health risk for children and people with compromised immune systems. Mice also spread other pests, such as fleas and ticks, to pets, livestock and throughout your property. Rodent activity can also be distressing and cause issues for homeowners and particularly business leaders, who might face significant reputational problems.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Mouse Species Are Found In Kent?
Throughout the UK there are several types of mice, the most common of which are house mice. There are also wood or field mice, and yellow-necked mice. In Kent, harvest mice can sometimes be found in fields and rural areas, but they are less common as pests. Whatever mouse species you’re dealing with Fen Pest Control can provide fast mouse treatment to deal with them and pest proofing to prevent future infestations.
How Long Do Mice Live?
Wild mice can live for between 3 months and 2 years, depending on the availability of food sources, the number of predators in the area and how easily they can find shelter. Pest mice that find their way into homes or commercial premises often live longer than mice that live outside.
How Many Visits Are Required To Fully Eliminate Mice?
The number of site visits required to get rid of your mouse problem is usually between 2 and 4, depending on the size of your property, the level of infestation and how much pest proofing is required. Fen Pest Control will carry out an initial inspection and let you know approximately how many visits you’ll need.
What Happens If The Pest Issue Is Rats Not Mice?
Rats and mice look similar, and while rats are significantly bigger than mice, they can be difficult to identify especially if you don’t see the pests clearly. Thankfully, our team offer a comprehensive rodent control service, and can identify your pest problem and treat either species.
Can You Prevent Mice?
To prevent mice, you should seal gaps in your home’s exterior and keep your property clean, as food debris offer a food source for mice and other pests. Mice look for warm, undisturbed areas to build nests in, so check your attic periodically and ensure all potential entry points are sealed. If you notice signs of mouse activity, make sure you’re proactive and book expert mouse treatment.
