Professional Mouse Control in Abbey Wood

Ducts and Joints in System-Built Blocks

A mouse feeds in small amounts at many points and keeps several nesting sites going at once. A concrete block with continuous service ducts suits that perfectly - the population is spread through the structure rather than living in one flat, and a single-flat treatment reaches a fraction of it. Later Thamesmead phases were built in brick, and the Bostall Estate terraces of 1900 to 1930 and the Abbey Estate houses of the late 1950s behave like ordinary houses instead.

That is why the first question is what you are living in. A house on the Bostall Estate with an air brick problem is a job we can close. A flat in a system-built block with an open duct is a job that needs the managing organisation involved to be worth doing properly.

• Service ducts and riser cupboards, and the boxing around them.
• Where waste pipes pass through a floor slab or a panel joint.
• Kickboard voids under fitted units, open behind.
• Air bricks and pipe entries on the older estate housing.

Signs You May Need Mouse Control in Abbey Wood

The full list is on the Mouse Control Greenwich page.

• Gnawed food packaging. A neat hole in the corner of a cereal box, a bag of pasta, a dog food sack or anything in a low cupboard.
• A stale, musky smell in an enclosed cupboard. Strongest where the nesting is, not where the droppings are.
• Pets fixating on one spot. A cat or dog sitting at a particular kickboard or appliance gap for no obvious reason is worth taking seriously.

How We Deal With Mice in Abbey Wood

We establish whether the population is in your flat or in the structure, and say so plainly, because those are two different pieces of work with two different people instructing them.
