As Winter gets underway, wild mice and rats enter houses more often to escape the cold and rats are also seen in increasing frequency in peoples gardens. However, while this can be a matter for concern, there are ways that you can humanely remove these uninvited visitors rather than calling the local exterminator. He will put down anti-coagulant poisons which cause a long slow death and a great deal of suffering to the mice and rats as well as the poison being potentially dangerous to you, your family and your pets.

House Mice will leave a cloying ‘acetamide’ smell; other mice leave little odour.

Droppings : a rats poo is 12mm long and often tapered at one end. A mouse poo is half the length and thinner.
