CONTROLLING MICE
Despite their size, mice can cause extensive damage to foodstuffs, furniture, woodwork, upholstery, clothing and paper. Mice are not malicious, but they gnaw on anything and everything, simply to keep their teeth in good condition. They will make holes in the skirting boards and floor boards, especially where pipes enter, as mice often move around in ceiling voids and cavity walls.
The house mouse is inquisitive by nature and will investigate all parts of the area it lives in, gnawing at objects as it goes.
