Reading the Signs

Droppings — the most useful evidence

Small and dark, and mice produce a lot of them. Look along skirting, in the backs of cupboards, under the sink, behind appliances and in the airing cupboard.

The useful part is age. Fresh droppings are dark and slightly soft; old ones are grey, dry and crumble when pressed. That single distinction tells you whether you are looking at a current problem or the remains of an old one — and it is worth checking before you spend anything.

Smear marks

Dark greasy marks along a route used repeatedly, where fur brushes a surface. More informative than droppings in one way: they map the run rather than just showing presence, which is exactly what tells us where to place a treatment.

Gnawing

Food packaging opened at a corner with the contents spilled. Gnawing at the corners of cupboard doors and skirting. Shredded paper, insulation or fabric taken for nesting.

The smell

BPCA describes mice as having a really distinctive, strong smell, so you will know if you have a large infestation. It is musky and ammonia-like, and it is most noticeable in an enclosed space — a cupboard, a loft, a room that has been shut up.

Photograph anything you find before clearing it. It genuinely helps, and it means we are not working from a description of something that has been cleaned away.

Why Ely Property Owners Call a Professional

Clearing up the droppings before anyone looks at them removes the only map of the problem. It is the commonest thing people do and it makes the first visit less useful than it should be.
