Professional Mice Control Great Shelford
Scratching overhead at two in the morning is one of the most common reasons people ring us, and it is not always mice. What you hear narrows it down considerably.
Signs You May Need Mice Control in Great Shelford
- Small dark droppings along skirting, in cupboards or behind appliances
- Light, quick scratching in walls, ceilings or under floors at night
- Gnawed food packaging, with contents spilled
- Dark greasy smear marks along a regular route
- A distinctive musky, ammonia-like smell in an enclosed space
- Sightings — one in the open in daylight usually means several
Not sure what you are dealing with? A
pest inspection and survey is
£120 fixed cost and identifies the pest, the extent and the access
points before you commit to a treatment.
What Are You Actually Hearing?
Before treating anything it is worth establishing what is up there, because the answer changes the treatment, the price and in one case the law.
| What you hear | When | Most likely |
|---|---|---|
| Light, quick scratching and scurrying | Night, especially after dark and before dawn | Mice |
| Heavier scuffling, sometimes a thump | Night | Rats |
| Loud movement, rolling or dragging | Daylight, early morning and late afternoon | Squirrels |
| Scrabbling, cheeping, rustling near the eaves | Daytime, spring and summer | Nesting birds |
| Fluttering, mostly at dusk | Dusk, summer | Bats |
If it might be bats, stop. All UK bat species and their roosts are legally protected, and disturbing a roost is a serious matter. Nothing should be blocked, trapped or treated until it has been properly identified. Tell us and we will advise before anything is done.
The two questions that settle it fastest
What time of day? Mice and rats are largely nocturnal; squirrels are active in daylight. That one distinction resolves most cases on the phone.
How heavy does it sound? Mice are light and quick. Anything that sounds like it has weight behind it is not a mouse.
And what else to look for
Noise alone is suggestive rather than conclusive. Go and look for droppings, and use the fresh-versus-old test on our Ely page. Droppings and smear marks confirm what the noise only hints at.

Why Great Shelford Property Owners Call a Professional
Treating for mice on the strength of a noise risks treating the wrong animal entirely — and where the answer is bats, acting without identifying it first is a serious matter rather than a wasted visit.
