Mice are the most common pest to infest occupied premises and don't make for a hygienic or productive workplace. Most infestations are reported following a sighting of live mice but at this instance the infestation has usually been present for many weeks. 

There are a number of signs to indicate their presence which can often be found at the early stages of infestation.   

Things to look out for are:

• Mouse droppings, small black cigar -aped measuring about 5-6 millimetres long;  
• Nesting material (small pieces of chewed paper and plastic) often found at base of draw units, service cupboards and store rooms;
• Smell – a musty smell similar to a damp unventilated area or wet hay or straw; 
• Damaged or spoilt food – did you know mice will eat most foods before they will eat cheese?  Favourites include chocolate, peanuts and cooking fat!  
• Grease marks – mice often leave a black smear of body grease when regularly running over surfaces such as conduit or pipes.
