Every treatment is tailored to your property and the level of mice activity found.
Signs You Have a Mice Problem
✓ Droppings – Small dark droppings near cupboards, skirting boards, or food areas
✓ Scratching noises – Sounds inside walls, ceilings, lofts, or under floors
✓ Gnaw marks – Chewed food packaging, wires, wood, or plastic
✓ Nesting material – Shredded paper, fabric, or insulation
✓ Strong smell – A musky odour in enclosed spaces
Why Mice Infestations Demand Professional Control
Understanding Mice Behaviour:
- Rapid breeding – Mice reproduce quickly, so a small problem can become a serious infestation fast
- Hidden nesting – Mice often nest behind walls, loft insulation, kitchens, cupboards, and floor voids
- Property damage – They chew wires, wood, packaging, and insulation
- Contamination risk – Mice can contaminate food, surfaces, and storage areas
Professional Mice Control in Rotherham, Sheffield, Doncaster & Barnsley
A mouse infestation can quickly become a serious problem if left untreated. Mice can enter properties through surprisingly small gaps and establish nests in lofts, wall cavities, kitchens, garages, outbuildings and commercial premises. Whether you have discovered mice in your home or require commercial mice control for a business property, early treatment is essential to prevent the infestation from spreading.
At Yorkshire Pest Control, we provide professional mice control and mouse removal services across Rotherham, Sheffield, Doncaster, Barnsley and the wider South Yorkshire area. Our experienced technicians carry out thorough inspections to identify signs of mouse activity, locate entry points and implement effective treatment solutions tailored to the level of infestation present.
Mice can cause significant problems within a property. They are known to contaminate food storage areas, damage insulation, chew electrical wiring and spread bacteria through their droppings and urine. In commercial environments, mouse activity can create hygiene concerns and potentially impact daily operations.
Our approach focuses on both treatment and prevention. Removing active mice is only part of the solution. We also investigate how mice are entering the property and provide practical advice to help reduce the risk of future infestations. This may include identifying access points, highlighting sanitation issues and recommending proofing measures where appropriate.
Common signs of a mouse infestation include scratching noises in walls or ceilings, droppings in cupboards, chewed food packaging, nesting materials and sightings of mice around the property. If you have noticed any of these signs, it is important to arrange an inspection as soon as possible.
Every property is different, which is why all mouse treatments are tailored to the specific circumstances found during our inspection. Whether you require mice control in Rotherham, mouse removal in Sheffield, pest control services in Doncaster or mice treatment in Barnsley, our team is committed to providing effective and professional solutions with minimal disruption.

Mice
A small rodent with greyish-brown fur, growing up to 90mm long and weighing under 20 grams.
The fur is usually uniform in colour, with a slightly lighter belly, and a tail about 75% the length of its body.
Biology
Mice are omnivorous and adapt well to their surroundings. In rural areas, they mainly eat cereals, seeds, and similar foods, consuming around 2–3 grams daily.
While they will drink free-standing water, they can often survive without it, getting enough moisture from their food.
Mice usually live up to one year, reach sexual maturity at six weeks, and can produce up to 8 litters per year, with an average of 5 pups per litter.
