With the Chesterfield Canal running through, Retford has waterside land as well as older buildings. Mice use both, and we work out how they reach you.
Retford is a Bassetlaw market town on the Chesterfield Canal, with older town-centre property and later housing. Canal banks and towpaths offer mice sheltered routes and cover, and older buildings have the voids and worn fixings they use to get indoors. Homes backing onto the water or neighbouring open ground may notice more activity at certain times, such as after a damp spell, when mice seek dry shelter.
Our visit covers the outbuildings and boundary as well as the rooms where you have heard or seen mice. We are fully insured, which is useful when work involves roof spaces and outbuildings. Prices are fixed, so the cost is agreed beforehand, and we explain what treatment involves and what to expect afterwards. If your property backs onto the canal, tell us, because the boundary is part of the picture and we will check it with you.
It can mean more cover close by, but mice only enter where there is a way in. Close gaps, store food securely and keep gardens tidy beside the water. Damp spells also push mice towards dry buildings, so check after heavy rain.
Yes. Sheds, garages and boat stores can hold nests, and treating the house alone may not stop the problem. We check them as part of the visit. We also tell you how to store garden items so they offer less cover.
Mice can squeeze through very small gaps around pipes, vents, doors and airbricks, so even a tidy home can have them.
