Mice in the house please help!


Recommended Posts

We?ve had mice coming into our house since January when I engaged JG pest control services at a cost of several hundred pounds as I have a small child and was heavily pregnant. Despite 12+ visits in which blocking work was promised and evidently not done properly (they have been a total joke) they haven?t solved the problem and tonight I saw a mouse and my anxiety has gone through the roof.


Please please share details of who you have used who has solved the problem for you. I?m desperate to get this resolved. Husband is allergic to cats so we can?t sadly get one.


Many thanks in advance

I'm sorry I don't know any firms who could come in and wave a wand, but hope you have a response to your request.


We had a mouse problem when the people next door moved out and disturbed a nest of mice, living beneath the floorboards.

I borrowed a cat for a morning. He sniffed out the points of entry.

I bought blocks from AJ Farmers, don't handle them and transfer your smell - I had to plop them behind the cooker, under the sink and in the little meter cupboard.

We could actually hear them moving the blocks to drop down the hole the meter pipe sank into, then no more mice.

I also bought pink granules from Dulwich DIY which I tipped in the little cupboard to check that I had despatched the naughty mice completely.

After about 4 weeks it was still there, then overnight it was gone, every bit. Don't think one course will do the

job, have more poison ready.


They are crepuscular usually.


Obviously don't leave food out and use nappysan stuff to clean your work surfaces, apparently they object to this.


There have been threads on here re mice nuisance already - good luck - perhaps JG pcs will see this and do the right thing?!

Depending on exactly what the pest control people promised, you could take them to the small claims court to get your money back.


It isn't a difficult process.


Maybe threatening to do that might shame them into either refunding your money or solving the mice problem.


Good luck anyway, I hope the mice disappear.


But unless you find all the possible points of entry to your home and permanently block them, the mice are likely to come back.


That is what the pest control people should have done, surely.

    • We were hoping to have a meal at Monkatsu  last night (Sunday), after having been out all day. Online information gave the closing time as 10pm. We got there around 8.30pm and they wouldn't give us a table because "the kitchen closes in half an hour." Surely it doesn't take half an hour to make a meal? We've never had to wait that long when we've eaten there before. Has anybody else had this happen? We ended up going home and getting a delivery, which wasn't how we had envisaged the end of a nice day 🙄
    • That place did only have pizzas on the menu, to the best of my recollection. We ate there once, the pizzas were ok but the room was not exactly atmospheric. Il Mirto has  a lot of pasta dishes on the menu,  but that also never seems busy. It's small and out of the way,  and easily forgotten if you're looking for somewhere to eat, I suppose.
