Avoid a mice infestation!

Have you seen a little grey fur ball with a triangular head that runs away whenever it crosses your way?  If yes, then you probably encountered a mouse!

This small mammal, the Mus Musculus, more commonly known as the grey mouse or the house mouse, is native from western Asia and has been invading our homes and spaces for thousands of years.

We owe this success to mankind, who, sometime-unknowingly, would bring the mouse along on his expeditions to discover new lands.

“While the cat’s away, the mice will play”. Despite its discreet and shy appearance, the mouse cannot stop exploring every nook and cranny as soon as the coast is clear.  Unlike its cousin the rat, neophobic by nature, the mouse has a morbid curiosity.  Which is why it is the most common rodent found in homes.

Constantly searching for new territories and new sources of food, it invades our living spaces, bringing with it all sorts of nuisances.

A mouse invasion is a race against time, therefore it's important to take the necessary precautions quickly after the first sign of their presence.

Since your premises have everything a mouse needs to survive - shelter, food, and warmth - it won't leave of its own accord! It is therefore not easy to deal with a mouse infestation on your own, and it can quickly become a real horror movie. 

This is why our Pest Control teams are trained in the procedures and operating methods for using pest control solutions to treat mouse infestations.  They are also familiar with the lifestyle of these pests and adapt their treatment to the characteristics of your premises and the level of infestation.

Thanks to its malleable skeleton, the mouse can get into any hole the size of a penny! It crawls through cracks, leaving behind traces of urine and excrement that will attract other mice nearby.  

Once inside, it begins its exploration, looking for shelter, food or warmth. The perfect place for her to continue her lineage and induce nightmares to the owners who will soon become infested.
