Professional Mouse Control for Your Business

A mouse problem in a commercial setting is a direct threat to your operations, safety, and brand integrity. Whether you manage a restaurant, office, warehouse, or healthcare facility, even minor activity can lead to contamination, failed health inspections, and potential legal consequences.

For over a century, professional pest management has provided certified and discreet solutions to businesses globally. By combining advanced technology with environmental responsibility, we ensure your operations remain compliant and pest-free.

Mice are vectors for numerous pathogens, including Salmonella, Leptospirosis, and Hantavirus, contaminating every surface they touch. Beyond health risks, they frequently gnaw through sensitive wiring and stock packaging, leading to expensive repairs and operational downtime.

Commercial premises are subject to strict hygiene and safety regulations. Failure to maintain a pest-free environment can lead to:

• Safety Violations: Employers have a legal duty of care to provide a safe and hygienic workplace for staff.
• Food Safety Breaches: Businesses handling food must implement rigorous measures to prevent contamination.
• Enforcement Actions: Regulatory officers have the authority to issue fines, closure notices, or pursue prosecution for severe infestations. Fines for negligence can be substantial, often reaching tens of thousands of euros.

Every business site has unique vulnerabilities. An Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach ensures long-term protection through:

• Survey & Risk Assessment: Identifying active zones, potential entry points, and environmental attractants.
• Bespoke Treatment Plans: Utilising methods tailored to your specific industry and building layout.
• Proofing & Exclusion: Implementing structural defences to seal access routes permanently.
• Digital Monitoring: Providing data-driven insights and real-time reporting via platforms like myRentokil.

Certified technicians operate under strict stewardship guidelines to ensure safe, compliant management with minimal environmental impact.

We utilise smarter hardware and data-driven insights to protect your reputation.

• RADAR X Mousetrap: A bait-free solution ideal for high-sensitivity environments like food production or server rooms. It uses infrared sensors to detect movement, capture and kill mice humanely within a sealed chamber using CO₂. It is HACCP-certified and highly effective in 24/7 monitoring.
• Dual AutoGate Bait Stations: These "smart" units only release bait when rodent activity is detected. This significantly reduces the amount of rodenticide in the environment compared to traditional permanent baiting, making it an eco-responsible choice for perimeters and waste areas.
• Flexi-Armour Proofing: A durable system designed to seal structural gaps, including stainless-steel inserts for weep vents, custom seals for dock levellers, and heavy-duty barriers for loading bay doors.

  How do I keep mice out of a retail shop?

  Protection relies on three pillars: Exclusion, Sanitation, and Monitoring.

  • Exclusion: A mouse can squeeze through a 6mm gap. Inspect all door thresholds, pipe entries, and foundation gaps.
  • Sanitation: Even in non-food retail, staff breakrooms must be spotless. Store all snacks in airtight metal or glass containers.
  • Waste: Use secure, lidded bins and store them away from the building exterior. Empty internal bins nightly.

  Why are mice appearing in my office?

  Offices provide warmth and easy foraging. The most common causes are:

  • Desk Eating: Crumbs dropped in keyboards or under desks provide a consistent "feast" for rodents.
  • Warmth: Mice are drawn to the heat from server racks, boilers, and refrigerator motors.
  • Harbourage: Cluttered storage rooms and under-desk cable management areas provide perfect nesting sites.

  Do rodents only infest older buildings?

  No. While older buildings may have more visible cracks, modern structures have unique vulnerabilities, such as utility voids and cable runs that act as hidden "superhighways." Rodents are also frequently displaced during the construction phase of new buildings and may move into the fresh structure immediately.

  Will keeping the lights on deter them?

  While mice prefer darkness, light alone is not an effective control method. They are highly adaptable; if food and warmth are present, they will simply learn to navigate the light or move through dark wall cavities and ceiling voids to reach their destination.

  Is it legal to work in an office with mice?

  While not strictly "illegal" to be in the building, employers have a statutory duty to provide a safe, healthy environment. Uncontrolled infestations are a breach of this duty. If staff are exposed to droppings or urine, the business is at risk of regulatory intervention and lost productivity. Professional intervention should be sought at the first sign of activity.

  Can mice chew through food packaging?

  Yes. Their incisors are strong enough to chew through plastic, cardboard, and even thin foil. If they smell food or need nesting material, standard retail packaging will not stop them.
