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.

    • I was surprised to learn that East Dulwich Picturehouse now only screens PG-rated films for their baby-friendly showings, unlike other Picturehouse branches. Apparently, this change happened after a complaint to the council about showing films above a PG rating to infants. Afaik, this policy only applies to this  branch. As a local parent, I find this frustrating. It limits our options, especially when many of us would love the chance to watch a wider range of films while caring for our little ones. For example, during Oscar Week, only one vintage film is being shown. Are we really expected to only consume toddler-focused content, like Cocomelon? I also worry about the precedent this sets. If other institutions, like the Tate or the National Portrait Gallery, applied similar restrictions, parents could be left with only child-oriented content. Babies under one don’t fully comprehend adult themes, so shouldn’t there be more flexibility? I’d love to hear what others think—should this policy be reconsidered?
    • I am a secondary teacher in the local area and totally agree that it’s so important for teenagers to be given a space to connect and learn skills. I think it’s lovely that they’ve been able to do this organically due to the carpark being derelict but it defeats the very concept of dynamic urban living to use this as a reason to block the development of the space into something that could benefit the whole community. I would really welcome an entrepreneur bringing a proposal forward that thinks about how we could best make the space work for everyone. I’d also love to see the council engage with the kids themselves on how and where to make the skate park permanent, perhaps in Dulwich Park itself. Give them some funding to make it nicer than a space by such a busy traffic route. I also agree we shouldn’t romanticise the skate park - they’re not principals in the Royal Ballet Company. I don’t think it’s hugely affecting the community, but let’s not pretend there isn’t some underage drinking and drug use going on there. But mainly the building itself is a waste of space and it’s often depressing to see the private security company vans parked out there late at night. Let’s use it as an opportunity to engage in conversations about what this part of Lordship Lane really needs.
