Attendance wherever the diary allows

House mice are the quiet infestation. They rarely announce themselves the way rats do, but they contaminate far more than they eat, shred insulation and packaging for nesting, chew cabling, and breed through the year rather than seasonally. Most Glasgow properties we attend have a handful of small structural gaps doing all the damage.

Titan Pest Control treats the active population and then proofs the building. Mice only need a 6mm gap, so proofing a property properly is detailed work, and it is exactly the part most people skip, which is why they end up calling someone again three months later.

What mouse control involves

The survey covers kitchens, under and behind appliances, cupboard bases, service runs, floor voids, lofts, cavity edges and external walls. Mice travel service pipework and cavity walls, so activity in a kitchen often originates several metres away.

Treatment is placed on the runs and harbourage rather than where the droppings happen to be visible, then proofing closes the structural gaps: pipe penetrations, cable entries, gaps under units, damaged vents, door thresholds and holes around meter boxes.

Who it is for

Householders, tenants and landlords across Glasgow and the surrounding towns, HMOs and student accommodation where a single flat's problem quickly becomes the building's, and commercial premises where contaminated stock or a sighting in front of a customer is unacceptable.

When to call

As soon as you find droppings in a drawer or cupboard, notice shredded nesting material, smell a persistent musty odour in an enclosed space, or hear light scratching in a wall at night. Mice populations grow fast and spread through a building, so early treatment is smaller, cheaper and quicker.

Why professional help matters

Traps bought from a hardware shop catch the bold mice and leave the population. Without proofing, the building keeps refilling. Professional work combines correct placement, the right control method for the setting, follow-up verification, and the structural work that actually ends the problem, carried out by RSPH accredited technicians with full insurance cover.

Signs to look for

Small dark droppings in cupboards, drawers and lofts
A persistent musty smell in enclosed spaces
Shredded paper, insulation or fabric nesting material
Light scratching in walls or above ceilings at night
Chewed food packaging in kitchens and stores
Grease marks along skirtings and pipe runs

What happens if it is left

Food contamination

Mice urinate almost constantly as they travel. Contaminated worktops, cupboards and stored food are the normal outcome, and in commercial kitchens that is a direct regulatory risk.

Cable and insulation damage

Chewed cabling in lofts and behind appliances is common and carries a fire risk. Shredded insulation reduces its performance and creates nesting material for the next generation.

Rapid population growth

House mice breed throughout the year. A small problem in October is a widespread one by spring if nothing is done about the harbourage and the entry gaps.

Spread through a building

In tenements, HMOs and terraces mice move along cavities and service runs between properties, so an untreated flat keeps reseeding its neighbours.

Tenant and customer complaints

For landlords and businesses the reputational cost usually outweighs the treatment cost several times over.

Common mistakes we are called in to undo

- Setting a couple of traps and stopping when they catch nothing
- Filling gaps with expanding foam, which mice chew straight through
- Assuming a clean kitchen means no mice; they need very little food
- Treating one flat in a block while the neighbouring units stay untreated
- Ignoring the loft because the droppings are downstairs
- Poisoning without proofing, so the property simply refills

Our mouse control process

Step 1: Inspection
Kitchens, appliance voids, cupboard bases, service runs, lofts and external walls are all checked, and activity is mapped against the likely access points.
Step 2: Diagnosis
We confirm it is mice rather than rats, establish the scale and the harbourage, and set out the treatment and proofing plan with a clear price before anything begins.
Step 3: Treatment
Control is placed on active runs and in harbourage, chosen for the setting, trapping-led where children, pets or food handling make that the right call.
Step 4: Verification
A follow-up visit confirms whether activity has stopped, picks up anything missed and adjusts placements where mice have shifted position.
Step 5: Proofing and completion
Gaps down to 6mm are sealed with mesh, wire wool and appropriate fillers, and you get practical advice on storage, waste and housekeeping to keep the property unattractive.

What you get from Titan

Speed

Answered 24/7, attending the same day wherever the diary allows, so a small problem does not become a building-wide one.

Safety

Placements chosen and secured around children, pets and food areas, with everything explained before we leave.

Longevity

Proofing down to pencil-width gaps is part of the job, which is what stops the repeat call-out.

Cost savings

Early treatment avoids contaminated stock, damaged insulation and chewed cabling, all of which cost more than the job itself.

Block-level thinking

In tenements and HMOs we advise on treating the building rather than one unit, which is usually cheaper overall for factors and landlords.

Peace of mind

You are told exactly what was found, what was placed and what to expect, with a follow-up to confirm the result.

Mouse Control in detail

Proofing materials and methods

Mouse proofing is detailed work: stainless wire wool packed and sealed into pipe and cable penetrations, fine mesh over vents and air bricks that must keep ventilating, brush strips and metal plating to door bases, mortar repair to masonry, and sealing of gaps behind and under kitchen units where the carcass of the run usually sits.

Expanding foam on its own is not proofing; mice chew it within days. Any gap sealed on a Titan job uses a material mice cannot work through.

Control methods and variations

Domestic lofts and cavities are usually treated with a combination of secured bait points and trapping. Food premises, nurseries and homes where rodenticide is unsuitable are handled as trapping and exclusion programmes with monitoring. Larger commercial buildings get a mapped programme of monitoring points with documented inspections.

Seasonality matters: mouse calls rise sharply as temperatures drop and the population moves indoors, so autumn proofing is the cheapest intervention available.

Residential versus commercial

Domestic jobs prioritise discretion, tidiness and clear aftercare. Commercial jobs add documented monitoring, reporting suitable for audit, and the option of a monthly routine contract for pubs, shops, takeaways and restaurants.

Mouse Control FAQs

How much does mouse control cost?

It depends on the property size, the extent of activity and how much proofing is required. Every job is priced before work starts, and a survey fee applies to rodent call-outs which is waived when treatment starts the same day.

How long does it take to get rid of mice?

Most domestic infestations are resolved across an initial treatment and a follow-up, with proofing carried out alongside. Larger or block-wide problems take longer and the visit plan is agreed at survey stage.

Can you come out today?

The phone is answered 24/7 and we attend the same day wherever the diary allows.

How do mice get into a modern, clean house?

Through gaps around pipework and cabling, under door thresholds, at air bricks and vents, and along cavity walls. A gap the width of a pencil is enough, and cleanliness makes very little difference to whether they can get in.

Is the treatment safe with pets and children in the house?

Yes. Placements are secured and chosen for the household, and where rodenticide is not appropriate we run the job as a trapping and exclusion programme instead.

Will proofing stop them permanently?

Correctly sealed gaps stay sealed. Buildings change over time, new damage or new service work can create a new route, so we also tell you what to keep an eye on.

Do you work for landlords and letting agents?

Yes, regularly, including HMOs, student accommodation and factored tenement blocks across Glasgow and the surrounding towns.

Do I need a contract or a one-off visit?

Homes are almost always a one-off job with a follow-up. Commercial premises often benefit from a monthly routine contract, and we will tell you honestly which one your situation needs.
