Mice can cause significant risks to businesses, the main risks include:
If you have a problem with mice on your premises, it advisable to seek professional help when the problem first emerges. Left untreated mice issues can rapidly grow into serious large-scale infestations.
The Prevention of Damage by Pests Act 1949 is legislation in the United Kingdom, that creates a duty on local authorities to control mice and rats. The legislation grants powers to local authorities to compel land owners and/or occupiers to take action to keep land free from rats and mice.
As well as this there is The Food Safety Act 1990 is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It is the statutory obligation to treat food intended for human consumption in a pest free, controlled and managed way.
Environmental Health Officers or General Enforcement Officers can issue enforcement notices to business owners who do not have adequate pest management procedures in place.
Few people really like rats or mice, and no one wants them in their home or within their business property. House mice are small, with their body rarely exceeding 9cm with a dark grey-brown back and light grey belly.
The presence of mice can cause significant damage to property; this is because mice’ teeth never stop growing. Mice continually nibble or gnaw on items to keep their incisors at a constant length. They can gnaw through various materials even some metals.
Mice are a public health risk, as they can spread nasty diseases such as Leptospirosis (Weil’s disease) spreading it to humans through their urine, droppings and bedding.
Within various sectors mice can contaminate food and food surfaces, transferring the bacteria and dirt they carry on their bodies to everywhere they touch. This could include unsealed items of food, cabinets and food preparation areas.
When a female mouse gets pregnant, it only takes between 19 and 24 days for her to give birth to a litter (also known as the gestation period). Each litter typically consists of 5-6 mouse. After giving birth she can immediately mate, therefore, left untreated mice infestations can rapidly grow.
Mice are excellent climbers and can gain access to tiny holes and gaps! Mice only need a gap of 6mm to gain entry (this is roughly the diameter of a biro pen).
These small pests are nocturnal and are most active at night, therefore, they are rarely seen, but there are tell-tale signs which indicate if mice have been present.
How do you know if you have mice? The following are signs that mice may be present:

House mouse live in and around human premises, making their homes in wall voids, storage boxes, lofts, barns, sheds, basements, crawl spaces, cabinets, warehouses and many other similar locations. House mice prefer to nest close to food and water sources, typically within 30 to 50 feet.
Field mouse or wood mouse (Apodemus sylvaticus) prefer nesting outdoors, but will possibly move indoors once the weather gets colder.

Mice have been known to spread nasty diseases – such as Salmonella and Listeria – to humans through their urine, droppings and bedding.
Mice typically will run and hide if they see a human. It is rare that they would bite unless they are feeling threatened. It’s advisable not to hold a mouse if you find one in your home or business.
You may choose to try to control a small mice problem using over the counter mouse traps.

Vergo technicians have access to a range of professional use products which are not available to the public, they are highly skilled in knowing when and where to deploy these methods to effectively control the infestation.
