hi i live in an area which is known for a rat/mice problem and more recently cockroaches
not very nice i know
but i guess i get a mouse once a year
the rest mabe a rat in the garden whic hdisappears
not bad i guess
but i hate them...
used my council service a while back
said i had mice and they gave treatments which they came back to check for 3 weeks
to be honest the mouse did nto care
the service now costs £60 and it was a waste when it was free!!!
now i notice that i have sealed a majority of the outline to my house
but i heard one last night trying to come up a floorbaord on the upstairs main room??
how did it get in? why is it under the house?
assuming it came in from th ground
is there nothign i can do??
my house is completely carpeted if that helps not wooden flooring at all as we are thinkign of movign but unsure of progress yet..
please help
dont mind a good ocmpany or som home tips
but if its coming in from the ground then that is too diffcutl to control or is it?

wherever you can fit a biro, a mouse can get. if you have vents around your house buy some mesh and cover them. get some mouse traps and set them wherever you hear the mouse.0
