Don’t Wait! Book Expert Mouse Control In Rochdale And The Surrounding Area
As harmless as they might look, mice can be incredibly dangerous. Mice love chewing and can gnaw on furniture, walls, doors and more, causing structural damage. They can also be a fire hazard if they chew through live electrical wires. Mice can spread nasty diseases to humans, including Hantavirus, Leptospirosis and Salmonellosis, which can cause serious illness.
Because they become sexually mature at as little as 4 weeks old and can have between 35 and 50 pups per year, mice breed at an alarming rate and what starts as a small problem can quickly become a major mouse infestation. Mice irritate humans and pets in the home and cause reputational issues for businesses, so proactivity is crucial.

Signs Of A Mouse Infestation
Mice might be larger than most insect pests and braver than rats, but they’re also incredibly quick and agile. An adult mouse can fit through a gap as small as 10mm, which is just wider than the average pencil. If you’re looking for signs of mouse activity, here’s what you need to watch out for:
- Mouse Droppings: Finding droppings is the surest sign of any rodent infestation. Mouse droppings are small, dark pellets that look like black grains of rice. Mice go to the toilet as they run, so you might notice droppings throughout your property.
- Chew Marks: Like other rodents, mice have teeth that never stop growing, meaning they have to gnaw constantly. If you see small chew marks in furniture, wood and other materials throughout your property or bite marks in stored food or packaging, this is a sign of mice.
- Footprints: Mouse footprints might only be half an inch long, but they are distinctive. Mice have 4 toes on their front feet and 5 on their back, so if you see prints in dust around your home, you may have mice.
- Scurrying Sounds: Mice run quickly, usually at night, so you may hear scurrying noises above your head while you’re trying to sleep.
- Musty Smells: Large mouse infestations can cause a musty smell from mouse urine and droppings, which won’t disappear even with cleaning.

Mice Control FAQs
What Types Of Mice Are In The UK?
There are several species of mice found in the UK. The most common species that enter homes are house mice. As well as the house mouse, the wood mouse, the harvest mouse and the yellow-necked mouse are also found in the UK, but most of these prefer to live outside. If you need help identifying the type of mouse problem you’re dealing with, Arrow Pest Management can help.
How Do Mice Get Inside My House?
Common entry points for mice include gaps in walls or next to badly installed pipes. Mice can also chew through plastic covers over air vents and door seals. Once they find shelter and a reliable food source, mice will be unlikely to leave on their own.
Where Do Mice Hide During The Day?
Because they’re nocturnal, mice are more likely to be active at night. During the day, mice will sleep in their nests, which can be found in quiet spaces, such as attics, behind furniture or even inside cavity walls.
