The problem
What you are dealing with
Rodents come indoors for warmth and food, and Somerset gives them plenty of routes in — rhynes and river banks, farmland behind housing, old stone walls, and terraces where one gap under a shared roof serves the whole row.
Baiting alone is not a fix. If the hole a mouse used in October is still there in November, another one follows. Every job we do includes finding and sealing those entry points, because that is the part that stops it coming back.
A rat can pass through a gap the size of a 50p piece and a mouse through the width of a pen. Air bricks, service pipe holes, gaps under doors, cracked drain runs and the join where an extension meets the original wall are the usual culprits.
Signs to look for
Droppings behind appliances, gnawed packaging, scratching in the loft or under floors at night, and a sharp ammonia smell in cupboards.

Secured bait stations and traps placed where children and pets cannot reach them.

Return visits to check take and remove dead rodents.
- 04
Proofing with mesh, mortar and steel wool so the route in is closed for good, plus a written report if a landlord or agent needs one.

Rat & mouse control FAQs
How many visits does rat or mouse control take?
Two to three over a few weeks is typical. The first sets up the treatment, the later ones confirm the activity has stopped and finish the proofing.
Is the bait safe around pets and children?
Yes, when used properly. Everything goes into tamper-resistant stations in places a child or dog cannot get to, and we tell you exactly where each one is.
Why do I hear scratching in the loft at night?
Usually mice or rats running along the joists, sometimes squirrels if the noise is heavy and daytime. We identify which before treating, because the method is completely different.
