Question 1

What happens during a specialist's visit?

Accepted Answer

The specialist carries out a thorough inspection in and around the property. They analyse where the mice are coming from and what is attracting them. Materials are then placed, instructions given and prevention advice prescribed.

Question 2

Why isn't mouse poison used straight away?

Accepted Answer

New regulations require that mechanical methods are tried first. Rodenticides also require multiple mandatory inspection visits, which significantly increases costs.

Question 3

How long does the control process take?

Accepted Answer

This depends on the severity of the infestation. A minor problem can often be resolved with one visit and mechanical materials. A persistent infestation requiring rodenticides may need several visits spread over weeks.

Question 4

What health risks do mice pose?

Accepted Answer

- **Health hazard**: mouse saliva and droppings can transmit disease
- **Gnawing damage**: mice damage cables, furniture and structural elements
- **Odour nuisance**: present in larger infestations

Question 5

Are mice especially dangerous in care homes or schools?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Babies and children touch surfaces with their hands and can become exposed to mouse droppings that are not always visible. Care institutions and schools generally have professional control carried out early — even at the first signs of infestation.
