Mice Manchester Pest Control – The facts
Some people find the sight of a single mouse a terrifying experience and want to jump on the nearest chair, while others (children in particular) may find these little rodents ‘cute’ and think them relatively harmless. Whatever you might think, Manchester Pest Control are here to warn you that (family pets aside), mice are a real problem and can cause you all manner of trouble if you don’t act fast once you suspect some have invaded your property.
Some Manchester Pest Control facts about mice
1. Mice can squeeze through gaps and holes that are barely half an inch wide, so are very adept at finding their way into people’s homes – they will be attracted by the promise of food and warmth, particularly during the autumn and winter months here in Manchester.
2. Mice are nocturnal and so will most often come out at night. This suits them better because they have poor eyesight, and use their nose, whiskers and ears to detect food and threats. They will usually remain close to the edges of a room while they explore, rather than expose themselves to danger by coming out in the open unless they think there is a good reason to do so.
3. Mice can jump a foot or higher on the spot, and can use flat wall surfaces to propel themselves higher when they leap. Furthermore, they can run up many vertical surfaces. This means that they can reach locations in your kitchen where you might think food is safely out of reach. However, if the food is uncovered and the mouse can smell it, then it will be sure to find a way!
4. Mice can also carry out all manner of gymnastics, walking along (and even hanging upside-down from) narrow ropes and wires to help them reach their goal. They are very capable swimmers, but only take to water if they absolutely need to.
5. Mice will nest anywhere that there is warmth and they are unlikely to be disturbed. Nest sites may include attic insulation, inside wall space and under floorboards, kitchen units or in items of furniture that do not see a lot of daily use.
6. If the conditions are right (enough food and shelter), mice will breed all through the year, with female mice giving birth to litters of approximately half a dozen within 3 weeks, and therefore producing anything up to 10 litters during a year. It only takes just over a month for a new-born mouse to reach adulthood and be capable of breeding, so you can see how an infestation may very quickly occur!
7. Mice do not need much water to survive, and will get whatever nutrients they require by nibbling at anything edible they come across, whether this happens to be dropped crumbs or packaged foods such as seeds and cereals – if they can smell the food, they can nibble through cardboard boxes, non-airtight plastic containers or bags, and will taint any food they come across with their urine and faeces.
8. Mice are incontinent and leave urine and faeces wherever they happen to eat or explore. A solitary mouse may produce as many as 2000 droppings in a single year. These droppings may contain salmonella bacteria, tapeworm eggs and a variety of other diseases that can make adults, children and pets very ill if accidentally ingested as a result of touching faeces or eating contaminated foods.
9. Mice may also bring with them a range of parasites such as ticks and fleas, which can lead to other types of infestation, and associated problems and health risks if people and animals are bitten by these pests. In approximately 10% of cases, a bite from a mouse may transmit the disease known as ‘rate-bite fever’, which can cause a severe skin reaction and vomiting.
10. In addition to the edible items that mice nibble on, they may also chew through household wiring, or urinate on exposed wires, which can cause all manner of electrical problems including shortages, or even spark a fire. So the next time you see a fire engine speeding on its way to a house fire in Manchester, it could be all down to the work of just one small mouse!
Tackling Manchester’s mouse problem
There are certain simple but effective measures that Manchester’s businesses and homeowners can take to keep mice at bay. It is essential that any access points you find are properly sealed, while good hygiene measures (sweeping crumbs off floors and storing food in air-tight containers) are equally important. If mice are already in your property, laying shop-bought traps alongside skirting boards and under furniture may capture one or two, although mice can be very adept at avoiding traps, and a few traps will not keep an infestation at bay.
Your best option for your own peace of mind and to tackle the problem swiftly would be to contact a professional pest control firm such as Manchester Pest Control. Our technicians have a great deal of experience dealing with rodent infestations in Manchester, Stockport and the wider Cheshire area. They will respond to your call quickly and will carry out a full assessment of your property to determine:
• How the mice have been getting in – so that you can take appropriate measures to seal the entry points and prevent further intrusion. Our technician can offer advice on the best materials to use for this.
• Where the nest sites are – once all nest sites have been identified, they can either be removed if in an accessible location, or the surrounding area can be treated with the most effective solution depending on the circumstances. As far as possible, we will use humane methods to capture and dispose of mice rather than causing them unnecessary distress and suffering.
• The best solution for you and your family (or your business and customers) – we have access to a diverse range of traps, as well as industry-approved rodenticides which are highly effective but not available in the shops due to their levels of toxicity. As rodenticides can be highly toxic to humans and other animals, we will discuss their use and application with you to ensure proper safety measures are in place while the treatment is ongoing.

Information about bed bugs
Problems with bed bugs Manchester Stockport and Cheshire
Bed bugs are unpleasant little insects that emerge from their hiding places at night and feast on the blood of people who are sleeping. They do not usually live in beds and bedding, and are more likely to make their homes in cracks, joints and gaps in bed frames, skirting boards and other furniture around the home. A bed bug infestation can quickly spread to every room throughout a house, and to neighbouring rooms or apartments in hotels and blocks of flats in the Manchester area. Bed bugs are not a sign of a dirty home or business, but they can ruin reputations and cause a lot of upset if they are left unchecked and allowed to become an infestation.
Bed bugs do not fly or jump, but they can crawl very fast and cover a lot of ground in the process. They tend to travel between properties in Manchester and nationwide by hitching a lift inside travellers’ luggage, second-hand furniture or clothing. Once inside a property, they will hide in gaps and cracks in furniture, bedframes, and around the edges of rooms in carpets and under skirting boards. They are more active at night, so you may be more likely to see them with the aid of a torch when the room is in darkness.
Knowing when you have bed bugs
Bed bugs are small (adults reach approximately half a centimetre in length) but can be seen by the naked eye and look a little like lentils: oval, and ranging in colour from dark yellow to brown. A female bed bug may lay as many as 300 eggs during her lifetime; these eggs are tiny, white and not at all easy to see. The eggs usually hatch within ten days, with newly hatched bed bugs taking up to 8 weeks to reach adulthood. During this time, they will shed layers of skin as they grow, so you might find mottled brownish shells amongst your sheets. Juvenile bed bugs will need blood to help them grow, but an adult may be able to survive a whole year without a blood meal.
Unlike mosquitoes, which bite more at random, bed bugs tend to leave a series of bites in a straight line. Some people may not notice that they have been bitten, while others may develop a reaction, with inflamed and itchy skin around the bite area which may cause discomfort for a number of days. Often, bed bug bites occur on the neck, face, arms and hands. Although a bite from a bed bug will not transmit disease, it can nonetheless be a great source of stress and upset for anyone who is being continually bitten during their sleep. You should avoid scratching bed bug bites as this could cause the bites to become infected, and Manchester Pest Control recommend that you see your GP if you are in a lot of discomfort, so that they can prescribe an appropriate ointment to soothe affected areas.
Other signs of bed bug activity include black spots (faeces) on bedding, as well as small bloodspots which may appear on bedsheets as a result of squashing a bed bug in your sleep after it has had a blood feast. If an infestation occurs, which will happen when bed bugs are not dealt with soon enough, rooms may begin to smell slightly musty due to a scent present in the glands of mature bed bugs.
How can I get rid of bed bugs?
There are steps you can take to deal with the immediate problem, such as giving your property a series of thorough vacuums, being sure to seal the bag and remove it from your property each time so that the bed bugs can’t get out and back into your home. Clothes and bed linen which you believe to be infested can be cleansed of bed bugs by washing them at a temperature of 60C, although you may decide to throw out certain items including mattresses and old furniture if they are heavily infested.
Although it may be possible to treat a bed bug problem with DIY products, they are often ineffective due to the difficulty of identifying and treating all locations where bed bugs may be hiding. Some products only deal with adult bed bugs but don’t eliminate their eggs, particularly if they are in hard-to-reach places. Bed bugs have also been known to develop immunity to shop-bought insecticides, which are not as effective as the industry-available insecticides used by the experienced technicians at Manchester Pet Control.
If you contact Manchester Pest Control on 0161 448 1782, we can send a technician around soon after your call, usually within 24 hours. Our technician will thoroughly inspect your property to identify locations where bed bugs are active, and will then determine the most appropriate action to eliminate them. We have a range of tools at our disposal, including steamers, rapid freeze equipment, and insecticides that we know will do the job whilst being safe for people and the environment. So don’t let the bed bugs bite – call Manchester Pest Control today!

How do I get rid of fleas?
If this question brought you to our site, don’t despair. You’ll be pleased to know that Manchester Pest Control have all the answers to help you understand what you’re up against and how to remove these nasty little parasites from your home. Half of the battle is understanding the enemy, and with us on your side, homes around Manchester, Stockport and Cheshire can be free of fleas so that you, your family and pets can once again sleep soundly at night.
Facts about fleas
The adult flea is barely a quarter of a centimetre long, and red-brown in colour, so it is no surprise that they are very difficult to spot, particularly when they are concealed in gaps and cracks around your property. They lack wings, but can jump a long way and will try to attach themselves to people or animals in the vicinity so that they can take in a blood meal. Fleas reaching adulthood are only able to reproduce after they have fed on a host’s blood. Under the right conditions, a female flea may live for as long as 18 months, and lay in the region of 5000 eggs during her lifetime!
Flea eggs are tiny and may go unobserved unless clustered in large numbers – often though, they are tucked away in hard-to-reach places, or scattered throughout the home if laid on a human or animal host; the eggs do not attach themselves to the host, and will fall off as the host moves about, unknowingly helping to distribute the eggs all over the house. Flea larvae may hatch from their eggs within days, and will typically feed on organic material such as dead insects, but they will also eat the faeces of adult fleas as it often contains traces of blood.
The flea larvae then enter the next stage of the flea’s life cycle, spinning a cocoon, in which they remain as ‘pupae’ until they are woken by the vibrations of a passing host. Pupae may remain inside their cocoons for several months if a house is empty during that time, but will emerge as adult fleas as soon as they sense that a potential host is nearby. Therefore, it is generally the case that if you encounter fleas in your property, the number of active adults is only a small proportion of the population, with many still at the egg, larvae or pupae phases of development.
Fleas in Manchester’s homes
Fleas are not a sign of an untidy home – it can just be bad luck if you happen to have them in yours. Often, they may have entered the property on a household pet, or on an unwelcome intruder such as a mouse. Second-hand rugs and sofas may also be a method of entry, so be cautious if you think you’ve spotted a bargain – it may come with extra company attached! Remember that although there are many different types of fleas, and they prefer different types of host, they are not fussy as long as there is a ready blood supply available.
You are likely to notice you have a flea problem if your pets become agitated, scratching and grooming themselves repeatedly, or if you are bitten yourself. Flea bites can become inflamed and itchy, and scratching them may cause the bite mark to become infected. Some fleas are capable of transmitting diseases including typhus, tungiasis and bartonellosis, while small children may be exposed to the risk of flea tapeworm if they accidentally consume an infected flea or its faeces during play.
It is also possible to identify the presence of fleas by their faeces, which is coarse and black, and may be found in pets’ bedding and other surfaces such as carpets, rugs and furniture on which a cat or dog may also rest around the home. You may also find their faeces in your own bedding, or your sheets speckled with blood where they have feasted on you during your sleep. At Manchester Pest Control, we appreciate this can be very distressing to Cheshire’s homeowners – bathing your pets and vacuuming your home only addresses the immediate problem.
Get rid of fleas for good!
For fast-acting solutions, contact Manchester Pest Control on 0161 448 1782 and benefit from our expert knowledge. We’re discrete and use unmarked vans so that our customers needn’t worry about what their neighbours might think. Our trained technician will carry out a thorough inspection of your property to determine the extent of the infestation and likely places where fleas and their eggs are concealed. We are familiar with many types of household pests, and can address wider issues for you if it turns out the fleas are a result of mouse or other rodent activity.
The important thing is that Manchester Pest Control can deal with your main flea problem head-on. Throughout the process, we’ll use chemicals that are safe for your family and the environment but which will eliminate the fleas at all stages of their development, in a way that DIY products rarely address to customers’ satisfaction. We’ll also conduct follow-up visits to make sure that the treatment has been fully effective. It is of course important that you carry out certain measures yourself around the time of the treatment and afterwards, as outlined below…
We advise that bedding (yours and your pet’s) is washed at high temperatures and furniture that may contain fleas is treated, while carpets and rugs are vacuumed thoroughly and repeatedly, with vacuum bags sealed and disposed of in bins outside so that fleas do not immediately escape back into your home. We recommend that you seek advice from a local vet about products that you can apply to your pets to keep fleas at bay. And be sure to seal up any holes or cracks through which mice might enter your home carrying more unwanted guests.
Together, we can rid your home of fleas, quickly and without costs spiralling out of control. We’re effective, we’re good value, and we’re local – we’re Manchester Pest Control.

Manchester Treatment of wasp Nests
It’s no secret that it doesn’t take much to make wasps aggressive. Their behaviour usually gets worse over the summer here in the Manchester areas as their numbers increase at the same time as food supplies start to dwindle. But even when food is available to them, it can still cause their tempers to flare up. If they consume fruit that is fermenting, it can make them behave as if they are drunk, which doesn’t make their behaviour any nicer! And many a barbeque or picnic has been ruined by wasps gate-crashing the scene. Worst of all is being stung by a wasp, which can be painful for most of us, and life-threatening for some. Here Manchester Pest Control offers some advice for sting treatment and prevention:
Wasp stings – treatment Manchester Pest Control
1. If you have been stung, the sting site and the skin around it is likely to be sore and itchy. It is important not to scratch it as this may cause an infection or blood poisoning.
2. Sometimes, the stinger might break off and remain in the wound, in which case it will need to be removed. We recommend holding the base of the stinger as far down as possible, so that none of it is left behind when you pull it out, and also to reduce the risk of squeezing more venom into the site.
3. Apply a cold compress – a packet of frozen peas wrapped in a thin tea towel should help to calm any inflammation. Apply for 10-15 minutes, then take a break and apply again later if the skin is still flushed and sore.
4. Clean the site of the sting and apply an antihistamine cream or gel to help relieve the pain, and reduce the swelling and itching. Be sure to read the product instructions first as in some situations they may be unsuitable.
5. Only a small percentage of the population suffer from the condition known as anaphylaxis – reassuringly, NHS data from 2014 suggests that Greater Manchester had the lowest incidence in the country. However, it can still happen, and does not help matters that people may be unaware that are sufferers until they are stung and go into anaphylactic shock. The symptoms can come on very quickly, and can be life-threatening without prompt medical assistance. If the person who was stung experiences shortness of breath, dizziness or nausea, as well as swelling not just around the wound but elsewhere on the body including swelling of the lips and face, phone for an ambulance immediately.
Wasp stings – prevention
1. One simple piece of advice that people often forget when wasps are in the vicinity is to stay calm. The more agitated you become –
moving quickly, waving your arms around and trying to swat it – the more agitated the wasp is likely to become, and the greater the chances of being stung. If possible, stay still and wait for the wasp to lose interest; otherwise, try to move away slowly and without any sudden movements.
2. If you encounter a wasp in your house or car, again – try not to panic! Carefully open the nearest window and the wasp is likely to fly straight out. If you remain calm, you won’t get stung, and you’re less likely to fall down the stairs or crash your car either – which are other ways that a wasp might send you to Manchester Royal Infirmary hospital!
3. If you are having a picnic or barbeque, try to keep as much food as possible covered or in sealed containers until you need it, so that wasps are less likely to detect it. This applies to sweet foods and drinks in particular. The more tempting the spread looks to you, the more appealing it will look to wasps as well. If necessary, it’s better to sacrifice one plate of food rather than the whole buffet.
4. Darker clothing has sometimes been known to attract the attention of wasps, so you could try wearing lighter colours in order to deter them. The same goes for strong perfumes and scented candles – even if they smell nice, they increase the risk of wasps arriving on the scene, so may be best avoided (especially outdoors) during the summer months.
5. Finally, if you are aware of the location of a wasps’ nest, our advice is to keep away from it and contact us here at Manchester Pest Control so that we can exterminate the nest before it gets any larger and becomes a bigger problem. Whatever you do, don’t try to deal with the nest yourself, as you are more likely to get stung by angry wasps. Cheshire’s DIY stores might tell you they have a better solution, but you’re the one putting yourself at risk if you go anywhere near the nest, and shop-bought insecticides do not carry Manchester Pest Control’s guarantee of a job seen through to the finish – so make sure your money’s well spent and you stay safe in the process.

Manchester’s bed bugs: The facts
In Manchester and other large UK cities, there has been an annual growth in the number of infestations by bed bugs. These small blood-sucking insects are not always easy to detect and eliminate, and they have been known to hitch a lift in luggage, clothing and furniture, so even the cleanest home or hotel may suddenly find itself infested by these unwelcome visitors.
Identifying bed bugs Manchester Pest Control Services
Bed bugs are not easy to see, because they are small and prefer to come out at night when many of Manchester’s residents are sleeping. They are flat and come in varying shades of brown, with adults growing to just over half a centimetre in length and a little less than that in width. The female lays up to five hundred tiny white eggs during her lifetime, and it takes only a couple of months for new-born bed bugs to reach fertile adulthood.
Bed bugs feed off the blood of people and their pets. Emerging from their hiding places at night, they can cover a lot of ground for such small creatures. You can recognise a bed bug bite as they usually leave a series of bites in a line, as opposed to a flea, which will bite more randomly. Some people are very sensitive to these bites and may experience swelling and itchiness, while others may not react at all. Another indication of bed bugs in the vicinity may be dark blood spots on bedding or mattresses – these spots are bed bug faeces, containing the blood of their prey.
Although they are known as ‘bed bugs’, these insects do not just live inside mattresses, headboards and bedframes, and can also be found in other furniture items, as well as in carpets and gaps in skirting boards. They do not just remain in the bedroom, and can quickly infest a property. In Manchester’s hotels and apartment blocks, they may spread out into the corridor and neighbouring rooms in little time at all, resulting in a huge infestation throughout the entire building.
How to deal with bed bugs
Due to their size and the many nooks and crannies they might hide themselves away in, it can be a challenge to identify bed bugs’ hiding places and then properly deal with them. A thorough vacuum of all rooms and furniture may help to get rid of bed bugs and eggs they have laid, although it is essential that the vacuum bag is thrown out immediately afterwards to prevent them escaping into your property once more.
Also, however hard you might try, even with repeated vacuuming over a period of time, you may find that you still overlook or cannot reach certain locations where bedbugs are hiding away. One somewhat extreme, but sometimes effective measure, is to varnish all wood surfaces including floorboards, furniture and doors, although this still cannot be guaranteed 100% effective due to the many places where bed bugs might be hiding.
Shop-bought DIY bed bug sprays and powders may eliminate some bed bugs but are, again, unlikely to eliminate all of them, as these insecticides are usually only effective against bed bugs but not their eggs. Furthermore, bed bugs can quickly develop an immunity to certain chemicals, which means that the chemicals may be more dangerous to people than the bed bugs themselves!
Manchester Pest Control – Number 1 for bed bug solutions
As you’ve seen above, bed bugs are highly resilient pests and very difficult to get rid of using traditional or DIY methods. The cost and time commitment of trying to deal with them yourself can gradually mount up, and it can also be emotionally draining when you think you are rid of them and then you start getting bitten all over again.
At Manchester Pest Control, we have dealt with many bed bug infestations over the years, which makes us highly experienced in how to identify their hiding places, and the approach we take in dealing with them. Our trained technicians are on hand 24/7 and will carry out a thorough assessment of your property, with discretion assured for your own peace of mind.

Bed bugs: A nightmare in homes
Here’s an unpleasant pest we’ve been itching to tell you about, and unfortunately you might have been itching too…
At Manchester Pest Control we do appreciate that this is no laughing matter. People will react to the presence of bed bugs in different ways, with some not experiencing much in the way of discomfort at all, so it can be hard to know when you have an infestation under your roof. Some family members or guests may have visible bites, which it is easy to confuse with being bitten by a mosquito, though a mosquito will bite at random. A series of bites in a straight line is more likely to be the work of a bed bug. This can cause unpleasant itching or a rash, which scratching could then cause to become infected.
We should stress that bed bugs aren’t dangerous, but this doesn’t make them any easier to live with. They’re not even a sign of a dirty home, but your home can feel dirty knowing they’re in it. And it’s understandable that you could be finding it difficult to sleep, either because you’re being bitten, worrying about being bitten, or just plain aware of their presence when you try and tuck down at night. It’s not something you want your family, house guests and pets being exposed to on a permanent basis either.
You can see bed bugs with the naked eye – adults are about half a centimetre long, rust-coloured, and have flat bodies which they can squeeze into tiny cracks and crevices, the seams of mattresses, and in and around headboards. You might find dead ones in your sheets if you have rolled onto them in the night. They don’t just confine their activity to the bedroom, however, and can quickly spread all over the home, to other furniture and carpets. A single female can lay up to 500 eggs in just a two month period. In a block of flats, it is very easy for them to spread from one flat to another.
Bed bugs may also enter your home on clothing or in luggage if you have been holidaying at a hotel or B&B where they are a problem. They can arrive in second-hand furniture or rugs. And once they are in your home, they can be very difficult to get rid of. Sometimes you might think the problem has gone away on its own or with a shop-bought remedy, but it is possible for a bed bug to survive almost a whole year without feeding. They have also become immune to an increasing number of insecticides – in fact, some insecticides used in close proximity to where you sleep may be more harmful to you than to the bed bugs!
Manchester Pest Control provides a safe, effective and discrete service to homes, hotels and B&Bs in the Manchester, Stockport and Cheshire areas. If you want the nightmare of bed bugs to be over, contact us today and we’ll ensure you sleep easy.

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
