    Mice Pest Control Melbourne

    Mice belong to the order of rodents, which also includes rats.. The best-known species is the common house mouse, which invades our homes and places of business to search for food, water and shelter. Mice pose a direct threat to us as they carry infectious diseases, chew through electrical cables — creating fire hazards — and attract predators such as snakes (the last thing you want in your home!).

    At Pest Control Empire, we offer safe, family and pet-friendly mice pest control options that will eliminate your problem and prevent future infestations. Our professional mice exterminators service residential, commercial and industrial properties, using targeted strategies and treatments to protect your space..

    ARE MICE HIDING IN YOUR HOME OR BUSINESS?

    Mice are well-adapted to living among us, making them difficult to detect. Their small size, nocturnal habits and tendency to nest in concealed locations mean you may not even realise you have a problem. A single mouse can pose a serious health risk, especially in food-related businesses, where contamination can damage your reputation and livelihood. Proactive mice pest control is essential for all homes and particularly critical for food manufacturing and food service businesses.

    How to get rid of mice in Melbourne

    8 SIGNS THAT YOU REQUIRE MICE PEST CONTROL IN MELBOURNE

    1. Droppings — Usually the size of a grain of rice, they will typically be found in food storage areas, inside cupboards and behind refrigerators.
    2. Urine trails — Mice have weak bladders, and males in particular will leave behind a trail to signal others.
    3. Nests — These creatures are timid and do not travel far, so nests will be located close to a food source. Sites include under stoves with a pilot light for warmth and behind or underneath refrigerators. The inside of wall cavities and roof spaces are also popular nesting places.
    4. Noise — Sounds such as squeaks, rustling and scampering, particularly at night may indicate a pest problem.
    5. Gnaw marks — Mice gnaw on wood to manage the growth of their incisors.
    6. Chew marks — Food and food packaging will display chew marks. Cables for television and data, and more dangerously, electrical wires are also chewed. Fires are a distinct possibility due to exposed electrical wiring coming into contact with a flammable substance. Electrical short circuits are another common indicator.
    7. Smells — A pungent, musky odour will be clearly evident.
    8. Pet excitement — Cats and dogs may have a heightened state of arousal during an infestation.

    Mice spread disease to us via direct contact, through food contamination or indirectly through ticks, mites and fleas that have fed on an infected rodent.

    EFFECTIVE MICE CONTROL

    • Remove or seal off entry points — A mouse only needs a crack that’s 1/4 inch wide to enter your home or place of business.
    • Store all food in sealed containers — Open cereal packets and similar items provide an open invitation.
    • Clean food spills as they occur — Crumbs and spills attract mice, so prompt cleaning is essential.
    • Seal bins and dispose of rubbish regularly — Overflowing or unsealed bins provide easy access to food scraps.
    • Seal gaps around pipes and vents — Mice often enter through small openings around plumbing and ventilation systems.
    • Install door sweeps — This prevents mice from squeezing under doors and gaining entry.
    • Trim trees and vegetation near the roofline — Mice can climb trees and overhanging branches to access your roof cavity.

    THE OLD SAYING OF ‘BREEDS LIKE A RABBIT’ ALSO APPLIES TO MICE

    If you believe the problem has escalated beyond your control and requires intervention by a licensed pest control company, then you can be sure we have the knowledge and experience to effectively eliminate your rodent scourge. There are many options available to control this menace and a combination of options is usually the most effective.

    There is no ‘one size fits all’ method to mice control. In private homes, the practice of good hygiene and sanitation should go a considerable way to limiting the potential for infestation. If required, we use traps and baits to eliminate the problem.

    A commercial environment such as a cafe or restaurant requires extra vigilance. Strict health requirements must be met. We are well-experienced in this field, so you can trust us to implement effective mice pest control solutions that keep your business compliant and pest-free.
