Rodent Control & Proofing

Rodent Proofing (Mice) – Long-Term Relief Through Expert Exclusion

Mice are not only a nuisance — they’re persistent, highly adaptive pests that can cause damage to property, contaminate food, and spread disease. Traps and poisons may offer short-term control, but true long-term relief can only be achieved through professional rodent proofing.

Our mouse proofing service is a core part of our integrated pest management approach, designed to physically block mice from entering or moving within a property.

Why Mouse Proofing Is Essential

Mice can squeeze through gaps as small as 6mm and often exploit multiple hidden access points throughout a property. They follow pipework, enter via voids, skirting gaps, under doors, and even through communal spaces in flats.

Chemical treatments alone won’t stop this level of activity. Proofing is the only effective way to permanently exclude rodents — and we do it thoroughly, using professional materials and methods built to last.

What We Use

We apply a range of specialist, gnaw-resistant materials depending on the location and structure:

• 3mm galvanised steel mesh
• Stainless steel wool
• Gnaw-proof sealants
• Timber & hardboard
• Scotia beading (for gaps between floors and skirting
• Rodent bristle strips (for external/communal doorways)

Areas We Commonly Proof

🧰 Kitchen

The kitchen is a key hotspot for mouse activity due to food, warmth, and shelter. We offer two levels of proofing based on layout and construction:

1. Surface-Level Kitchen Proofing (Standard)

• Sealing around pipe entries, back panels, unit voids and surface gaps
• Prevents mice from escaping kitchen units into other areas
• Does not require dismantling
• Comes with a 1-Year Warranty

2. Wall & Floor-Level Kitchen Proofing (Bespoke)

• Involves removal and refitting of kitchen units to seal hidden voids and structural gaps at floor/wall junctions
• Survey required to assess feasibility
• Comes with a 5-Year Warranty when full internal kitchen voids are sealed

🧳 Under-stairs Storage

• Mice often travel through under-stairs voids
• We seal wall-floor joins or base of the door (depending on need)
• Full clearance of items required to allow access

🔧 Radiator Pipes

• Mice frequently navigate homes by following pipework
• We seal gaps around all radiator entry points at floor and wall junctions

🚽 WCs and Bathrooms

• Proofing around pipework and boxing-in areas that allow mice into voids
• Prevents them accessing internal living spaces via bathrooms

🪵 Floor & Skirting Gaps

• Common in older homes — we recommend installing Scotia beading to finish flooring and seal off sub-floor access

🚪 Front Doors / Communal Entrances

• Mice can enter homes from outside or via communal areas in flats
• We install rodent bristle strips to block entry without affecting door function
