Why mouse problems are common in Tonbridge
Tonbridge is a market town on the River Medway in west Kent, with the town centre clustered around the medieval castle and High Street. Residential areas spread north and south along the river valley.
The River Medway supports an active rat population along its banks and into properties near the water. Periodic flooding pushes rodents into higher ground. The surrounding farmland and orchards attract field mice, wasps, and other rural pests into the edges of the town.
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 village houses in hadlow, hildenborough, and surrounding areas are particularly vulnerable. Features like river medway and flood plain 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 Tonbridge
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.
