– We cover Manchester, Stockport and Cheshire – call 0161 448 1782
Food businesses and pest control:
For those working in the food processing industry, pest outbreaks and pest control are some of the most important aspects of running your business properly. With strict hygiene controls and quality standards in place, many of which carry severe legal penalties if not met, the ramifications of a pest infestation can be huge. As such, you need to ensure that your premises are kept pest free and any potential outbreaks are prevented at all times.
These matters are things which we here at Manchester Pest Control can help you with and relieve any worries or concerns that you may have. With years of experience and technical know-how behind us, our technicians can use the most effective and up to date techniques to provide tailored and integrated pest control solutions for your business.
What pests can you expect?
Food processing companies and properties can be affected by any kind of pest, the same as any other type of property, however years of experience have shown us that there are two main types of pest that your property may be especially susceptible to.
Stored Product Insects (or SPI) can refer to anything from grain weevils to beetles to moths, all of which will tend to infest raw food product stores, especially grains, cereals and seeds. They can pose significant health risks to anyone who accidentally ingests or handles them and infestations can be hard to spot until it is too late. They can also be a significant financial and material loss to your company as well. Our BPCA certified technicians will be able to work with you to eradicate and prevent infestations, using effective and affordable techniques.
Rodents are possibly the most common and most destructive infestation that your food processing premises can face, causing structural damage as well as breaching food safety and hygiene standards and regulations. While easier to spot, they can quickly escalate out of control and can have serious ramifications for your business. Manchester Pest Control has the knowledge and expertise to deal with rodent infestations with non-toxic chemicals and other methods to ensure a minimum impact on your premises.
So why chose us?
Here at Manchester Pest Control we have not only years of experience, but also the depth of knowledge and effective techniques to deal with any outbreak on any scale in an affordable and efficient way. We focus on pro-active methods of pest control and will work with and advise you on how best to not only deal with your current problem but also future-proof your premises against any further infestations. We understand that reputation is everything in this area of business and will be as discreet as possible when dealing with your outbreak.

MOUSE Treatment Pest Control Manchester Stockport Cheshire

Mice effects 70% of homes in Manchester Stockport Cheshire at some stage
Mice are a common pest in any urban area, and with the high prevalence in domestic properties, it stands to reason mice can also be present in busy commercial premises, like the many establishments Manchester, Stockport and Cheshire have to offer! Mice invade businesses for any number of reasons – not necessarily a reflection on hygiene standards – but things like nearby building works, flooding, cold weather or simply delicious food are all reasons why mice can be attracted to particular locations.
With many properties so close together in the area, it’s easy for mice to pass from one location to another, spreading rapidly and being a real nuisance. Furthermore, mice can present a serious health risk to users of the building with diseases such as salmonella, hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome and Murine Typhus spreading to humans through contact with mouse droppings and urine, that can often go unnoticed on kitchen surfaces. Considerable damage can also be caused by these tiny creatures with extensive nibbling of furniture, flooring and fabric of the building – mice have also caused many fires by gnawing electrical cables within walls and ceilings. Mice can enter a property through the smallest of gaps, especially where pipework comes throughs walls into kitchens.
Things to look out for…
• Droppings look like dark grains or rice or smaller – like a sesame seed
• Shredding bits of paper, foil or wood can be found near nesting or feeding areas. Often in corners of storerooms or cellars where busy kitchen staff don’t always have time to stop and look.
• You may be aware of scratching or squeaking sounds behind floors, walls or ceilings, particularly on entry to the property first thing after a period of being undisturbed.
• Holes in the packaging or other damage of food stuffs
Multiplying Mice
Mice breed all year round, and with 20 day pregnancy and litter of up to 12 each time, which soon reach sexual maturity themselves, a population can get out of control within months. Prompt effective professional action will stop mice ruining your business – catching 1 is simply not enough. Mice are between 5 and 10 cm long with a tail around the same length as their body. There will be no hair on their ears or tails, and can be brown or grey in colour.
Manchester Pest Control WILL solve your mouse problem
On arrival our experienced trained technicians will carry out a thorough investigation around the building including the exterior, in search of entry points, nest locations and possible food routes. It is possible to use UV dust traps which allow for precise tracking of the pests in some cases if they are proving well hidden. We will then use a process of seed baiting and trapping, (varies with individual premises and budgets) to ensure the problem is brought under control, as quickly, humanely and unobtrusive manner possible. A second follow up visit is included to assess effectiveness, re-set or replace any mechanisms or dispose of by-products accordingly. third and final visit 3 weeks later. We can also provide advice and quotations for external proofing to the building to ensure future entry isn’t possible. Manchester Pest Control fully guarantee the service provided to ensure you get value for money and a problem solved.

Mouse in the house in Manchester? Mice in the Workplace? Manchester pest control are experts in dealing with mice
While an unwanted mouse population may spiral out of control, our costs for extermination won’t. If you become infested with mice, we offer a fixed cost service, as we know how invasive vermin can be.
Whether you are a business or a home owner, we never charge for site surveys. To maximise the advantage in the battle against your furry pests, we still aim for a fast, efficient 24 hour service for pest control treatment to fully commence.
Particularly with businesses and the potential variations in size and environment, we will always carry out on site to assess the scale and particulars of the infestation, to ensure we can tackle the situation effectively with minimal disruption to your day to day routine. We will clarify numbers and locations of the mice, leaving you to earn a living!
We have summarized details of this service below but don’t hesitate to call us on 0161 448 1782 for clarification of any aspects, whether it’s cost or technical details, one of our professional specialists will discuss the process in full.
What happens during the treatment process?
A light to medium infestation can usually be remedied with a few visits carried out over a 3-4 week period.
Mouse bait boxes will be placed at strategic locations throughout the premises, each containing a rodenticide which is fatal to mice. Don’t worry as all boxes are locked by key and can’t be crushed either – they are specially designed so small children and most pets can’t access the contents in any way. Stations can be placed discreetly such as under fixtures and fittings or behind furniture, inside cupboards and so on. In larger commercial premises they can also be placed in basements or electrical cupboards, boiler rooms or even below raised floors.
For subsequent visits, the technician will assess station locations for effectiveness, and moving them if needed, as well as checking every station and refreshing the contents, safely removing any visible waste elements created by the process.
They will also carry out, as part of the standard service should you require the service at a Extra cost, basic mouse proofing like blocking gaps around skirting boards or pipes. Furthermore the technician will look at housekeeping or hygiene arrangements that may be impacting on the situation, suggesting improvements if appropriate.
Please note, any food preparation areas, equipment or surfaces MUST be hot washed immediately before use, if mice are suspected. Bacteria from their urine can cause illness so stored food should be checked for signs of mouse activity regularly and disinfecting wiping carried out to control bacteria transfer.
House Mouse: Summary facts
The house mouse has a unique musky smell which can be the first indicator they are nearby, but they can be easily recognised by their large ears and eyes set in a relatively small head, and a long tail (as long as rest of the body and head put together).They can sometimes be confused for young brown rats but they will have small ears/eyes. House mice tend to be the same colour all over – normally brown or light grey, but fur colour does vary and can even appear very dark. Whilst mainly active at night, they can be seen during the day, especially if they are feeding a litter or are well established in the environment and food supplies are under pressure. Their agility is impressive – a house mouse can run up vertical surfaces with minimal texture, and along horizontal cables. A true acrobat and can jump from the floor onto a flat surface. In fact they can jump 30 cm straight into the air (in human terms, jump onto the roof of a house!). Down isn’t a problem either as a mouse can jump down twelve foot safely (a human jumping off a ten storey building without injury). So where do they get the energy from?
Mice will eat anything, but anything of a seed-like or grain natures are particular favourites, along with sweet items which smell particularly tasty. A fully grown mouse needs a minimum of 3g of food and 3ml of water to survive, and even with a full tummy an adult mouse will only weigh around 30 grams. Given a plentiful supply of food they will still forage and hide extra for future sustenance. Most of their water comes from the food itself so even with water supply cut off, mice are adept at survival. Did you know a mouse can even go for a longer time without drinking than camels? However, it does mean their bladders are poorly trained, so droplets of urine will be all around areas the mice inhabit.
What goes in must come out – found shiny black grains of rice lying about? These are recent faeces of a house mouse! If these small grains of rice are dull black, the good news is the droppings are older in origin.
Mice typically gnaw small, clean holes about 3-4 centimetres in diameter, however if a biro pen can fit in a hole so can a house mouse! While they can nest outside in ground burrows or general rubbish, they use soft materials for their nests such as insulation, furniture stuffing or paper. Common sites for nests include inside furniture or appliances, drawers or boxes, even inside ceiling voids or cavity walls.
Nice comfortable nests, and a food supply, are perfect breeding grounds, and it’s no surprise mice numbers multiply exponentially. A mouse can have as many as 8 litters in a year, with anything from 4 to 16 young in each. Factor in each new born mouse becomes sexually mature by the time it is 12 weeks old, and you can understand why prompt action is crucial to get your unwanted furry visitors under control.
If you see a mouse, call us out, as there are likely to be many more mice you can’t see in the building.

Treatment Details on Common Pests
As an overview, we provide some basic information on common pests, showing you how we operate with the best services on the market:
3 step rat and mouse pest control

- Comprehensive treatment is then applied to the property to efficiently eliminate the infestation
- This is followed by a full pest-proofing of the premises to prevent further infestation (Which will incur a extra cost)
4 step cockroach pest control
- We initially undertake a full risk assessment and survey of the property to assess what factors are contributing to the cockroach infestation, locating their source and noting their species.
- For large infestations we may use a spray treatment initially to reduce the population
- The long term solution uses insecticide gel baits which the cockroaches eat, killing off the entire colony over time.
- Finally, we lay glue traps to capture cockroaches, which help us monitor the efficacy of the long term treatment.
3 step moth pest control
- Our first step applies a residual based insecticide on all carpets and soft furnishings which kill the moths on contact.
- Fumigation treatment is the applied to the affected areas, which draw out the moths from their shelters within the property, and ultimately kills them.
- Going forward, we advise clients not to vacuum or clean the carpets and furnishing affected for the following two weeks, ensuring that the insecticide remains in place to kill remaining moths and moth larvae.
4 step ant pest control
- We begin with a complete risk assessment and survey of the property, determining the source of ant infestation and the contributing factors.
- A residual based insecticide spray to treat all the affected areas internally and externally is applied. Common areas include patio gardens and window frames – this will kill all ants on contact.
- Going forward we encourage clients not to clean the surfaces with treatment, so that the insecticide is more effective, killing any further ants that come into contact with it.
- Remaining ants are killed by the ant control baits we use, with pharoe ants bringing the poison back to their nests.
5 step bed bugs pest control
- A visual survey of the property is needed first to see the level of the infestation and how widely it has spread across the property.
- Clients are then informed and advised on the needed preparation to take.
- All affected areas are applied with a residual based insecticide spray. The spray kills bed bugs on contact, and prevents the growth of their eggs.
- We advise refraining from housework, not cleaning the carpets and furnishings for the following two weeks, allowing the insecticide to kill further bed bugs.

Common House Mouse Manchester Stockport Cheshire
The house mouse is the most successful and most prevalent mammal on the planet. It can breed rapidly and quickly adapt to changing conditions pest control treatments by ourselves are completed in Manchester Stockport Cheshire properties daily. In fact, a female can give birth to a litter of between 4/12 babies every three to four weeks. They prefer to eat seeds and insects, but will eat most anything . They are excellent climbers, able to reach great heights. They can detect movement from great distances, however, they are colour blind and cannot see clearly beyond 12 inches. House mice live in structures, but they also survive outdoors. House mice prefer to nest in dark, secluded areas and often build nests out of paper products, cotton, packing materials, wall insulation and fabrics. Water is not necessary for their survival – they can derive water from their food. Their droppings can contain Salmonella, and their urine can cause diseases and allergies. Like all rodents, house mice love to chew and gnaw on structural materials including, electrical wiring. House mice are also known to carry fleas, mites, ticks and lice into structures.

Manchester Pest Control Rat and Mice
Is your home or business being targeted by vermin? Have you seen mice or rats inside your property or sniffing around outside?
The truth is, where you see one rodent, there are often just as likely to be more in hiding nearby. Even a rat or mouse on their own can carry with it the threat of disease, or be potentially damaging to business if a customer sees one on your premises. But several rats or mice will breed quickly and in a very short time this can lead to a full blown infestation. As well as health and reputational risks, there is also the danger of damage to your property itself as these intruders will eat their way through wall cavities, furniture, prized possessions and electrical wiring!
Here in the Manchester area, and more widely throughout Stockport and Cheshire, Manchester Pest Control delivers a professional service to local businesses and home-owners. We are on hand to respond quickly once we get your call, we are discreet and environmentally conscious, up-to-date in the equipment and techniques we use, and can offer highly competitive prices. Furthermore, we can provide humane methods for trapping and disposal of rodents, as well as providing advice to our customers, and a follow-up service if required.
You can contact Manchester Pest Control on 0161 448 1782 if you would like immediate assistance or a quote for our services. Please also visit our web site at www.manchesterpestcontrol.co.uk
Alternatively, if you have come here looking for information, please feel welcome to read on.
Despite being similar types of rodent, there are differences (not just in size) between rats and mice in terms of their behaviour and the problems they present. Here Manchester Pest Control takes a closer look at each of them so that you may have a better idea of what you are dealing with.
Problems with mice
Smaller than the rat, a mouse can get into places that a rat cannot so easily access. They can jump 1.5ft in the air so may even be able to get up onto some shelves that you think would be out of reach to them. They are active all year round and are drawn to homes and businesses by the offer of protection against the weather and predators, but also by the prospect of food in ready supply. Mice can sniff out food that isn’t kept in sealed containers, and may also use their sharp teeth to eat their way through food packaging.
Food that has been touched by a mouse should be immediately thrown away. Mice are carriers of a number of diseases (including Hantavirus, Lyme disease, leptospirosis and salmonella) which can be transmitted through saliva, urine and faeces. They will urinate and defecate almost constantly as they explore, and surfaces will need to be thoroughly cleansed before you consider preparing or serving food on them. Bear in mind that mice are not fussy eaters and will target many types of food, not just cheese and chocolate!
You are most likely to encounter house and field mice, which come in a variety of colours (e.g. black, grey, white). Even if you don’t see them, you will be aware of their activity from the many droppings they leave behind, and the strong smell of their urine. If they are comfortably at home, they are likely to build a nest close to any food source, and will breed often, with litters of 10-12 at a time which are also capable of breeding within just a couple of months, which is how infestations quickly take hold.
Problems with rats
Rats are quite intelligent creatures and will work together for their mutual benefit, so if a rat finds a suitable location for nesting or obtaining food, it will let its friends know and they will move in together. They are good at digging, and will make homes in the ground but are also happy in sewers, alongside riverbanks and inside houses, factories or other commercial premises. A breeding pair living in comfortable conditions may be able to produce an offspring of several thousand in just one year. It is estimated that the brown rat population of the UK is well in excess of 10 million!
Rats leave behind droppings much larger than those of mice, generally pellets 10-20mm in length. With sharper teeth combined with their digging abilities, they can do more damage to the interiors of properties and at a faster rate. Their urine also has a strong smell to it, and they can be carriers of many diseases (including Rat bite fever, Weil’s disease, trichinosis and salmonella). Rats may have fleas, ticks and lice in their fur, all of which can be an irritation to humans and can themselves be carriers of blood diseases.
Mouse and rat pest control solutions
In some cases, rat and mouse prevention can be as simple as ensuring that lids are kept on outdoor bins, that food inside your premises is stored securely, and any kind of food or liquid spillages are cleaned up when they happen. Properties should be routinely inspected for potential access points, such as gaps in brickwork or rotting doorframes. And leaving doors open on a regular basis (particularly if they open onto gardens, fields, or alleyways) is something to be discouraged as well. Sometimes people make it too easy for rodents to enter their property in the first place.
If it is already too late for prevention and you have noticed signs of rodent activity, Manchester Pest Control is on hand to help customers across the whole of Manchester, Stockport and Cheshire. Here is what you can expect:
• A fast response to your call – we will do everything in our power to eliminate the problem once we are made aware of it
• Experienced pest control technicians with specialist detection equipment and knowledge of the latest techniques
• An environmentally conscious approach, with consideration for your health and welfare, and that of your family or clients
• Trapping equipment which can be used in line with your requirements (e.g. humane trapping and disposal)
• Repeat visits until we can be sure any infestation has been thoroughly disposed of
• Advice to prevent a reoccurrence of the problem once it has been dealt with
• A realistic price for the job in question

But several rats or mice will breed quickly and in a very short time this can lead to a full blown infestation. As well as health and reputational risks, there is also the danger of damage to your property itself as these intruders will eat their way through wall cavities, furniture, prized possessions and electrical wiring!

Despite being similar types of rodent, there are differences (not just in size) between rats and mice in terms of their behaviour and the problems they present. Here Manchester Pest Control takes a closer look at each of them so that you may have a better idea of what you are dealing with.
Problems with mice
Smaller than the rat, a mouse can get into places that a rat cannot so easily access. They can jump 1.5ft in the air so may even be able to get up onto some shelves that you think would be out of reach to them. They are active all year round and are drawn to homes and businesses by the offer of protection against the weather and predators, but also by the prospect of food in ready supply. Mice can sniff out food that isn’t kept in sealed containers, and may also use their sharp teeth to eat their way through food packaging.
Food that has been touched by a mouse should be immediately thrown away. Mice are carriers of a number of diseases (including Hantavirus, Lyme disease, leptospirosis and salmonella) which can be transmitted through saliva, urine and faeces. They will urinate and defecate almost constantly as they explore, and surfaces will need to be thoroughly cleansed before you consider preparing or serving food on them. Bear in mind that mice are not fussy eaters and will target many types of food, not just cheese and chocolate!
You are most likely to encounter house and field mice, which come in a variety of colours (e.g. black, grey, white). Even if you don’t see them, you will be aware of their activity from the many droppings they leave behind, and the strong smell of their urine. If they are comfortably at home, they are likely to build a nest close to any food source, and will breed often, with litters of 10-12 at a time which are also capable of breeding within just a couple of months, which is how infestations quickly take hold.
Problems with rats
Rats are quite intelligent creatures and will work together for their mutual benefit, so if a rat finds a suitable location for nesting or obtaining food, it will let its friends know and they will move in together. They are good at digging, and will make homes in the ground but are also happy in sewers, alongside riverbanks and inside houses, factories or other commercial premises. A breeding pair living in comfortable conditions may be able to produce an offspring of several thousand in just one year. It is estimated that the brown rat population of the UK is well in excess of 10 million!
Rats leave behind droppings much larger than those of mice, generally pellets 10-20mm in length. With sharper teeth combined with their digging abilities, they can do more damage to the interiors of properties and at a faster rate. Their urine also has a strong smell to it, and they can be carriers of many diseases (including Rat bite fever, Weil’s disease, trichinosis and salmonella). Rats may have fleas, ticks and lice in their fur, all of which can be an irritation to humans and can themselves be carriers of blood diseases.
Mouse and rat pest control solutions
In some cases, rat and mouse prevention can be as simple as ensuring that lids are kept on outdoor bins, that food inside your premises is stored securely, and any kind of food or liquid spillages are cleaned up when they happen. Properties should be routinely inspected for potential access points, such as gaps in brickwork or rotting doorframes. And leaving doors open on a regular basis (particularly if they open onto gardens, fields, or alleyways) is something to be discouraged as well. Sometimes people make it too easy for rodents to enter their property in the first place.
