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.

    • If you want to change a radiator and it is the same size, pretty straight forward.  isolate by turning the two valves, one is straight forward hand twist, the other side you need to take the cap off and get an adjustable spanner and turn till closed.  Both clockwise. Use the same spanner to undo the large nuts that fix the radiator to the pipework, open the bleed valve, get a flatish container to catch the water which is likely to be a grotty black, sheets/plastic underneath to protect floor/floor covering.  Then jiggle off, tipping as quick as you an into your water container. Fingers crossed it will be the same back plate fitting.  If not you will have to take the old one off and fix the new one. Replacement is a reverse, allowing the rad to refill and let the air out. No naked flames involved. If it is a different size I can advise on that too. Lots on line too: https://www.toolstation.com/help-and-advice/how-to-guides/how-to-remove-radiator?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=19747119835&gclid=CjwKCAiAkvDMBhBMEiwAnUA9BR26YwBA6kOfcR4-JVxfJEjWdhRk6j0imCNcsIfu064wHN54-cs10xoCZ4cQAvD_BwE Although this is for a pressurised (combi) system where you need to get it back to pressure.  Pretty simple.  I don't bother with jointing compound.    
    • Fair enough - I'm absolutely wrong on that one. 👍
    • I'm still completely unclear what happened, apart from that a car apparently crashed into a lamp post opposite the Co-op. I presume the one in Lordship Lane, though the OP doesn't say. Was it speeding? Did it swerve to avoid someone who ran into the road? Did something go wrong with its brakes or steering? Did the driver have a medical emergency or fall asleep or got  distracted by something? Was there something slippery on the road surface? Was the driver hurt? Were any passengers hurt? Were any pedestrians or other road users hurt? Were there any witnesses?
