How Can You Get Mice Out of a House in Peterborough?
A commercial kitchen has more places for a mouse to live than any domestic property and less tolerance for one. Both facts shape the job.

The treatment is recognisable. What changes is where the work goes, when it happens, and the fact that it has to be evidenced.
Why Kitchens Are Difficult
- Voids everywhere. Under and behind every piece of fixed equipment, in plinths, behind cladding, above ceilings, in ducting
- Constant warmth, which makes those voids ideal
- Food available continuously, including in places nobody sees
- Service penetrations in quantity — water, waste, gas, electrical, extract — and BPCA put a mouse at a gap of 5mm
- Deliveries, which is the route people forget entirely
- Shared structure with neighbouring units in a parade or a block
Where They Usually Come From
- Deliveries. Mice travel in pallets, cases, sacks and cardboard outers. A premises with an immaculate structure can still get mice this way.
- Service entries into the kitchen and plant areas.
- The waste area and the route to the back door.
- Delivery doors propped open during the working day.
- Voids under and behind fixed equipment, which is where they live once they are in.
- The neighbouring unit, through a shared void or party wall.
The record is what an inspector actually asks about. Not whether you have ever had a mouse — most premises have, at some point — but whether it was identified, acted on, and documented. A quiet in-house attempt with a retail product leaves nothing to show, and that absence causes considerably more difficulty than the mice do.
What the Work Involves
- Product choice and placement appropriate to a food environment, in protected locations that are secured, recorded and checked
- Structural inspection alongside the treatment — the routes matter as much as the activity
- Work outside opening hours where that is what the business needs
- Follow-up to confirm activity has stopped rather than gone quiet
- A written report: what was found, what was done, what is recommended, and when
- Proofing recommendations, including the parts that belong to a builder rather than to us
What the Business Can Do
- Inspect incoming goods, particularly sacks, cases and cardboard outers
- Break down and remove cardboard promptly rather than storing it
- Keep goods-in clear and pallets off the wall
- Keep delivery doors shut, or fit a barrier where they must stay open
- Clean under and behind equipment on a written schedule
- Report sightings internally rather than dealing with them quietly
- Log and photograph anything found, with the date
We take instructions from restaurants, pubs, cafes, takeaways, shops, offices, warehousing, care settings and schools across Peterborough and the surrounding area.
Common Questions
How do mice get into a commercial kitchen?
Deliveries are the route people forget — mice travel in pallets, cases, sacks and cardboard outers. After that, service entries, the waste area, delivery doors left open and shared structure with a neighbouring unit.
Can you work outside opening hours?
Yes, and for most food premises that is easier for everyone.
What will an inspector want to see?
Evidence that the problem was identified, acted on and documented. Most premises have had a mouse at some point; having nothing to show for what was done is the difficulty.
What can our staff do between visits?
Inspect incoming goods, remove cardboard promptly, keep pallets off walls, keep delivery doors shut, clean under equipment on a schedule, and log anything found.
