Mice are a common rodent pest found throughout the UK. There are several mouse species in the UK, and while house mice live almost everywhere, some, like field mice, prefer rural areas.
Milton Keynes offers the perfect combination of town and country, meaning that mice thrive in the area. Unfortunately, mice can be a significant issue for homes and businesses, as they spread disease and contaminate food. Mice can also cause significant property damage, chewing through wood, plastic and other materials.
It can be hard to identify mice, and many homeowners confuse them with rats. If you think you’re dealing with a mouse problem and want a second opinion, contact BH Pest Control. We can confirm the perchance of a mouse infestation and provide prompt and efficient mouse control. Why wait? Contact us today to book your mouse control treatment.

How To Spot Signs Of Mice
The most obvious sign of mice is a sighting of the vermin themselves, but this can be tough, as mice are mostly nocturnal. Also, they’re small and stealthy, so they can easily navigate through cavity walls, pipes and rafters without being seen. While mice are braver than rats, they still avoid humans, so it’s important you look out for other signs of mice.
Thankfully, there are several other ways to tell if you have mice on your property, such as:
- Sounds: If you notice small footsteps, thumping or chewing sounds, then these are all signs you have a mouse problem.
- Footprints: An easy way to see if you have a mouse infestation is to lay down flour, or leave a food source near a dusty area, and see if footprints appear. Mice have four toes on each front foot and five toes on each back foot, so their footprints are distinctive and easy to see.
- Bad Odours: Smelling an ammonia-like odour in your home could be from mouse urine.
- Mouse Droppings: Mouse droppings are small, brown, oval-shaped pellets that are often found near entry points or food, such as along walls, near your attic entrance or in kitchen cupboards.
- Grease Marks: Mice have oily fur, so they often leave greasy smears on skirting boards, along walls or around doors.

Commercial Mouse Control In Milton Keynes
A mouse problem can be bad for business in more ways than one. Mice contaminate food and carry diseases, including Leptospirosis, Salmonella and other Hantaviruses, which can spread to humans, as well as pests such as fleas, which can cause further infestations.
Alongside health risks, mice can also cause major damage to stock, equipment and property, which could leave your company with a massive repair bill.
For food premises and healthcare providers, a mouse problem can cause your site to be shut down by regulators until the mice are gone.
