Rats and Mice in Tenterden | Preventing Infestations One of the more common problems we face in our line of pest control issues is mice infestation. Alongside moles and rats, mice infestation can be a massive issue for homeowners and commercial clients in Tenterden as they can build colonies that reach high numbers due to intense breeding.
Once we’ve cleared your property of mice we will advise you on how best to stop it happening again. By blocking gaps and entry points, this will make it impossible for mice (or rats) to re-enter your Tenterden building. As mice have soft skeletons and can get through gaps about the width of a pencil, it will also reduce the damage and health risks they cause.
Fen Pest Control can supply you with the proofing needed to keep the mice out in future once we’ve cleared your Tenterden property of all mice infestation. As mice are great climbers you will have to identify any gaps located higher up the building or on the rooftop. Make sure all gaps are properly protected to block any entry to mice.
Tips on how to keep Mice out of your Tenterden Building Fitting bristle or brush strips to the bottom of doors prevents mice from entering. Essential for older buildings in the Tenterden area. Seal holes around existing or new pipes with coarse steel wire wool pliable sealant. If mice or rats can get through, they will. Make sure that holes made in exterior walls for cables and pipes are sealed tight. Pest control can be just as effective with simple blocking techniques at your Tenterden home. Cover air bricks and vents with fine galvanised wire mesh to allow air to circulate but prevent mice from entering. Trim back tree branches from your Tenterden property and wherever possible avoid growing plants and climbers up the side. Mice love a climb! Keep grass mown short to reduce shelter and seeds for food. Ideally leave a gap between the building foundations and garden to make life difficult for mice and rats.
