Signs Of A Mouse Infestation
Mice, like rats, are relatively large pests, unlike insects that can be minuscule and hard to see. While mice are smaller than rats, mice are braver and more likely to enter spaces where humans are. Other signs of a mouse infestation include:
- Mouse Droppings: Mouse droppings look like small, rice-shaped pellets that usually found in clusters.
- Gnaw Marks: Like rats, mice have teeth that never stop growing, so they chew almost constantly, and leave deep tooth marks in furniture, walls, doors and other parts of your home.
- Scurrying Sounds: Mice are nocturnal, so you might notice scurrying noises, particularly during the night.
- A Strong Ammonia Smell: A large mouse infestation can cause a stench of ammonia from the mouse urine and droppings.
If you notice any of these signs of mice, or aren’t sure what kind of rodent infestation you have, you need Verus Environmental. Covering Bolton and the surrounding area, we’re ready to help with whatever rodent control services you need, so contact us today.
Trusted Mouse Control Throughout Bolton
Professional Mouse Control Across Bolton & Greater Manchester
Mice are difficult to eliminate from your home, especially once they’ve started breeding. Mice can slip through tiny gaps, and like to build nests in attics, wall cavities and other tight spaces. As such, it can be hard to catch and remove them.
DIY mouse bait can be ineffective, and if the mice eat it and die in a difficult to reach area, then you might find yourself dealing with a health hazard. Mice spread diseases to humans, and decomposing mice can attract other pests.
With expert pest control from Verus Environmental, you can rest assured that your mouse problem will soon be completely eradicated. Our team use professional-grade solutions and their extensive understanding of rodent behaviour to ensure they safely remove all traces of mice and carry out pest proofing to prevent future infestations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Attracts Mice To Your Home?
Like most pests, mice are attracted to somewhere with shelter, warmth and a reliable food source. If they find ready made entry points, such as holes in exterior walls, they will enter your space in search of food. Once inside, if they find a warm, comfortable space they will build nests and reproduce, turning the problem into a mouse infestation.
How Often Do Mice Reproduce?
Mice are able to reproduce all year round, with no specific breeding season. Female mice can breed from just 6 weeks old, and produce a new litter almost immediately giving birth to the last one. Gestation is 12-19 weeks and a litter can have between 6 to 12 baby mice (pups). As such, one single female mouse can produce over 50 pups a year, meaning your mouse problem can quickly get out of control.
What Mouse Species Are Found In The UK?
The most common species of pest mice in the UK are house mice, but you might also encounter wood mice, harvest mice and yellow-necked mice. Whatever species you’re dealing with, Verus Environmental can carry out mouse pest control to remove the issue and protect your property.
What Is The Fastest Way To Get Rid Of Mice?
The fastest and most effective way to get rid of mice is to work with Verus Environmental. We have extensive experience in rodent control, including removing mice and their close relatives, rats.
