Why mouse problems are common in Medway
Medway is a conurbation of five towns — Rochester, Chatham, Gillingham, Rainham, and Strood — clustered along the River Medway estuary in north Kent. It is the largest urban area in the county.
Medway's density, older housing stock, river estuary, and proximity to marshland create persistent pest pressure. Terraced streets allow rats and mice to travel through shared cavities between properties. The dockyard and river areas have established rat populations.
Unlike rats, mice are curious and will investigate new objects quickly, making them easier to trap. They are excellent climbers and can scale rough vertical surfaces, walk along cables, and jump up to 30cm. Mice tend to stay within a small home range of about 3-5 metres from their nest.
Properties such as post-war estates across gillingham and chatham are particularly vulnerable. Features like historic dockyard chatham contribute to local pest pressure. Mice move indoors from October as temperatures drop. They can enter through gaps as small as 6mm — the width of a pencil. Indoor populations remain active through winter and breed year-round in heated buildings.

Our mouse treatment process in Medway
Thorough property inspection
We check the entire property to assess activity levels, locate nesting sites, and identify all entry points. Mice leave UV-visible urine trails that help us map their routes.
Baiting and trapping
We deploy tamper-resistant bait stations and snap traps in targeted locations along mouse runs. We choose the method best suited to your property — for example, traps rather than poison where pets or children are present.
Follow-up monitoring
We return to check traps, assess bait take, and confirm activity is reducing. Mouse infestations typically require 1-2 follow-up visits.
Entry point proofing
We seal gaps with wire wool, metal plates, or cement. Any hole larger than 6mm is a potential mouse entry point — we identify and close them all.
Most mouse problems are resolved within 1-3 weeks. Single-point entries are often sorted in a single visit with proofing.

- ✓Seal any gap larger than 6mm (pencil width) around pipes, cables, and door frames.
- ✓Store all food in glass, metal, or heavy plastic containers with tight lids.
- ✓Clear clutter from under stairs, in garages, and in loft spaces — mice nest in undisturbed areas.
