However mice will eat almost anything they find in a house or commercial places such as pubs, restaurants, bars or warehouses etc.

Follow up
For mice we may need to carry out to a follow up(s). The usual follow-up time after the initial baiting programme has been established is 7-10 days. The first follow up will let us know how bad the infestation was and where you have had evidence of mice. The technician will re-bait as necessary and arrange the second follow up with you. On the second follow up this will normally tell us that the premises is all clear and our technician will give you advice on preventing mice in the future.

Rats must drink water daily unless the food source is extremely moist. They are considered omnivorous but if available, cereals seem preferred. They eat on average one tenth of their body weight each day. R. Norvegicus explore locations quite freely. However, it does have a fear of new objects. This is known as neophobia and this should be taken into account when baits are checked after an initial treatment.
