Mice Infestation
Mice are one of the most common pests found in homes and businesses across London – and they can cause more harm than you might think. From damaging property and contaminating food to spreading harmful bacteria, a mice infestation is not something to ignore.
Spotting the early warning signs is essential for quick and effective treatment. If you’ve noticed droppings in your cupboards, strange scratching noises at night, or a strong smell of urine, these could all point to unwanted mice activity.

Signs of a Mice Infestation
Finding any of these signs could indicate an active infestation in your home or business.
- Droppings – Small, dark, pellet-shaped droppings, especially near food sources or along walls.
- Gnaw marks – Mice constantly gnaw to keep their teeth trimmed. Look for chewed wires, furniture, food packaging, or holes in walls and floors.
- Nesting materials – Mice build nests in hidden, warm spots using shredded paper, insulation, or bits of fabric.
- Grease marks – Oily smudges or rub marks along baseboards and walls – left behind as mice travel.
- Noises – Scratching or scurrying sounds in walls, ceilings, or under floors – especially at night.
- Tracks and footprints – Tiny footprints or tail marks in dusty areas.
- Strong ammonia-like odour – Particularly in enclosed spaces – caused by urine.
- Live or dead mice – Actual sightings, especially during the day, may indicate a large infestation.
- Pet behaviour – Dogs or cats acting unusually interested in certain areas.
- Damage to food supplies – Signs of nibbling or holes in food packaging.
What to Do If You Notice These Signs
If you’ve observed one or more of the signs listed above, it’s important to act promptly. Mice reproduce quickly and can be difficult to remove once an infestation becomes established. Identifying the extent of the activity, possible entry points, and nesting locations is key to resolving the issue.
In many cases, professional help may be required to ensure the infestation is fully dealt with and measures are put in place to prevent re-entry.
