Many clients approach us with some of their concerns and we like to be as helpful as possible when answering their queries. It mainly benefit us as it shows us what really matters to them. Often we hear about market research, when the best approach is just to listen to people’s need and try to answer them.

Here is an example of the main concern of a client with a 1 year old, suffering from moths and mice activity:

1st email:

Dear XXXXX,

To quote for mice is easy as we always charge the same amount of £89 for it. We would treat using peanut butter bait and canary seed bait. We place it in the void space mainly where mice are coming from. So it limits the need for mice to come in the living space (where they are not welcome) to eat the bait. We will advise you on where they are coming from and on how mouse proofing may be implemented.

A moth treatment for a 3 bed home would cost £158inc. To spray for moth throughout the 3 bed home would require 2 round of spraying at 2 weeks interval. We would need to spray all the floor areas, most of the walls. We also advise strongly our clients to have the wardrobes and cupboards fumigated too as it would be the same price in any case.

They are mainly 2 kind of moths. The ones that attack the food stock  and the one that attack the natural fabrics (carpets/wool/clothes). What is important is to investigate if there is any damage under the low raise furniture and make sure it is not being overlooked. When going through the wardrobes you will be careful to put aside any contaminated items (such as furs/felts/hats/coats) so they can be washed/dry cleaned. Place the clothes on top of the bed.

You will also need to hoover thoroughly all floor areas/carpet Once sprayed, you will not be able to clean the floor for 2 weeks, until the day before the follow up visit!

2nd email:

1) would the mouse proofing be included in the price you have given or would it be extra?

The treatment is £89 and proofing is extra. We charge £129 for a studio and £158 for a 2 bed flat. When we come to treat we will be able to tell you how much proofing would cost. There are 2 factors that impact on price: the size/quality of the kitchen and if the skirting boards are tight against the floor/extensive gaps with floor boards.

If the problem is mice coming in then the solution is to keep them out. You need to appreciate the limitation of the treatment only. In most cases the treatment will sort out the mice infestation and protect your home from the mice population building up again. As mice keep on coming from the neighbours, they will keep on finding the bait, therefore they will not have time o settle down,breed and build up in numbers. But eventually the bait will get empty, and from there the next mice to come will not die, more will follow and it will start all over again.

In average people relying on treatment only will have episode of recurring infestation every 1,5-2 years (with ongoing residual mice activity mainly under the kitchen units). The more problem at your neighbours, the more run down/or structural issues/gaps for mice to come in in your home or at the neighbours the more likely you will suffer more often.

There are no way to improve on treatment. This solution thus offer no long term value. In most cases people end up calling again the same pest control contractors, who will charge them again the same (returning business) to carry out the same work that failed to sort out the mice problem the first time round.

We have a different business model. Clients call us to carry out the mice treatment. We charge them a competitive price and use top grade products (peanut butter bait, canary seed bait). We advise them that proofing is highly recommended in case of predisposition to disease such as Krone disease, immune-deficiency, irrational fear of mice, etc.. In any case we will be able to advise them if the kitchen units are prone to mice activity and if they need to take any particular precautions (wash dishes before use).

From there they are welcome to let the treatment do its work. From there they will have the option of upgrading to the proofing as and when the need arise. The next time round instead of being charge another £89 for treatment only, we will strongly advise them to spend a bit more (£158 for 2-3 bed home) to have the house mouse proofed with 1 year guaranty, to put an end to it.

They are 2 main benefit to proofing. First it stop the mice from going where they are not welcome. The most important would be where you food and plates are being stored. Second, roofing is there to stay, is value or usefulness is never lost. Proofing is something that can be built on/improved. We give a 1 year guaranty because we know it is possible we overlook an access point that may allow mice to come in. So should the case arise, you can call us back in to put it right. And 1 year is plenty time enough to make sure that the work is perfect.

2) I have a one year old, if we need to leave the spray for two weeks does it mean that baby also needs to be off the floor for that length of time?

Yes. 1 year old is bad. they crawl on 4 limbs and put their hands in their mouths. The chemicals we use are safe and not acting on humans. However we advise how clients to take the extra precaution to have the baby playing on a clean blanket, and to wipe their hands more often than usual. Before we spray, we will take care not to spray directly bay items. Most of our clients pick up all the toys from the floor put it on a table or directly in the baby bed and cover it with a clean sheet.

3) you seem to be suggesting that its good to let the spray dry, so how many hours would you recomend us to be out after the spray?

No coming in for 8 hours if breathing conditions/asthma/permethrine allergies. Otherwise what is important is that you do not breath the spray when it is in suspension in the air, that would be 1 hour. From there you would be welcome to go in the kitchen, keep your shoes on. Of course open the window and leave at any signs of discomfort.

The second key thing is to avoid skin contact with the fumigation mix when wet. So it is water base, and the drying time depends on the surface sprayed. In kitchens/wood floors it would be quick as it is hard surfaces, and on carpets you should keep your shoes on for 8 hours.

4) are the prices you’ve given VAT inclusive or plus?

We are not VAT registered. So the price you have been given are the price that you will need to pay.

5) how long would the fumigation and placement of traps take?

Mice treatment takes 20-40 minutes. Most of the time is taken to answer the questions of the clients.
Mice proofing takes 2 staff 2-3 hours for a 2 bed flat.
The fumigation itself is quick. But it often takes time to ready the house prior to fumigation. so 40-60minutes?

All in all you should count at least 1 hour. We will want to stay the time that is necessary. So do not have an appointment right after the fumigation or take into consideration the possibility that the treatment make take longer than expected.

To star with, it is more likely to have rats are roaming in the outside (garden space) rather than within the buildings. A done location may have a lot of activity at garden area and none within the building (and the opposite is also true).

1) If rats are being seen at garden level it means that nearby (but still up to 1 mile away) rats are thriving and/or can escape from the main sewage system. It is often associated with residential areas nearby a rail track, a site with uncleared buildings debris, derelict/unkempt buildings or courtyards. In most case it is better not to bait in your home (as they will have to come in to eat the poison and killing so many of them will not stop more rats from coming in later), instead it is best not to offer them any suitable environment (ie bin chambers, overgrown gardens, building debris, abandoned outbuildings).

2) If rats are active within a building is is in most case associated with a rats coming from the domestic sewage system and also some fault/damage that allow them to escape within the void space of the building, and later to intrude within the living space. In most cases, the origin of the problem is very close. It is sometime appropriate to check if the rodding eye is missing at manhole level or if all the covers are in place.

If you put a trap, you will have baited t with something that will have attracted the rat where it might not have come (so much/so often) otherwise. If you place the trap on a run, it is better to investigate upstream of the property, and downstream of the property if there is an issue that need sorting out. It is often impossible as it implies the neighbours cooperation?

Often rat activity is not link to a single fault but instead many of them. Fixing at great expense a stretch of drain pipes will in no way guaranty that the rat problem will be over. We advise our clients to be very cautions about spending a great deal of money in order to sort out a rat problem and to be even more cautious about the strategy or the course of action they want to follow.

Generally we advise as follow:

1) You have seen a rat running across the garden from one neighbour to the next,or running on top of the fence. Do not do a thing within your property. Try to see if something can be done/or investigated upstream of your property.

2) You have seen a rat running into a hole within your garden area. A rat hole is never good as it may be linked to a faulty drain pipe underneath? I should suggest placing some water resistant bait straight in the rat hole and close the entry of the hole. You may monitor if the bait has been taken, or if the hole have been reopened. Also investigate the manholes/missing roding eye/seek advices from professionals.

3) You hear rats within the walls. Rats found a way within the void space of the building. Investigate the manholes/missing roding eye/seek advices from professionals. If you place bait, place the bait only in the void spaces/where you found droppings? Good places is under the floor boards, under the bath tub when pipes are not sealed around, in the false sealing..

By placing baits you will not stop rats from coming in, but instead you will make sure that they do not thrive there and limit the chance of rats causing damage to electrical’s. Sadly you are also likely to have a dead rat stinking up the place for a week! and/or flies.

4) You have seen a rat within the living space of the home/found droppings inside a cupboard. All of No3) and also carry out the full proofing of the home as a matter of emergency. It is unacceptable to have a rat running on your plates and work surfaces.

Many clients are getting confused, they think that the treatments they applied in the past do not work. The problem is not the bait not working as such. The problem is your building being infested and the problem ever getting back to you from the neighbours.

Even treating the whole building at once has little chance to succeed for good. So you may be faced with the problem every couple of years or so. And the less your neighbors will help/treat their own property the worse it will be for you. It is mainly down to the way a nest builds up and creates satellite nests.

When we treat, the treatment will kill off whatever nest that is relying on your flat for harbourage at the time of the treatment. So the treatment will not necessarily kill all the nest that are around your home (ie at the neighbours). As long as the treatment put down is fresh enough, it will keep on killing whatever gets to it (new coming satellite nest) but soon it will dry and you will be back to square 1.

Most clients should feel lucky if they only suffer episodes of tropical infestation once every 4 years or so. If you should suffer episodes of infestation every 6 months, I would approach my neighbours and I would try to find out if one of them is heavily infested but do not have the means to get it treated. Then I would try to work something out on their behalf.

As one example, we did a job in a purpose built council block of flat. One of the tenants living in the hart of the block had some mental health issues and where living under very poor conditions. The flat was plagued with cats, soft protein rich and moist cat food from cans lying in trays all around, kitchen sink overflowing with water everywhere. That particular tenant had always refused to let us in until then. That flat was alive with ants!

So you can imagine that sometimes, when a client suffers from Tropical Ants activity it is not always as simple as waving a magic wand and wishing it away. Now of course we could do a full block at very great expense, but the one benefiting would be the pest control company! The chance is that after pretty much sorting out the problem, a bit of residual activity left behind will start building up again, or a new tenant will reintroduce them into the block , and then you will be back to square 1 in no time.

When a block is infested, the best value is often a good block contract, with quarterly round of treatments rather than a 1 off thorough treatment.

The last treatment that came up that is giving very good results is Quantum Maxforce gel. The beautiful thing about it is that it works also (at last) on Crazy Ants!

Even though you would have been suffering from Pharaoh Ants, Quantum Maxforce gel works better that Boric Acid Liver bait in the sense that it will stay active much longer not only killing off your ongoing infestation, but protecting your home from your neighbours longer.

If the problem is mice coming in where they are not welcome, the solution should be to keep them out. We are having a hard time of late explaining to our competitors that blocking 1 or 2 holes should not be called “mouse proofing”.

And that a mouse proofing service should always come with an extensive period of guaranty to ensure that by the time the guaranty is up, the proofing is perfect and that no more gap are left that would allow mice in the future.

It would be like you having a £10000 front door secured with alarm and reinforced alloy frame, and leave the back door open. Burglar would just to walk round. It is the same for proofing.

Normally we charge £89 for treatment, and give the option to our clients to up grade for proofing by paying the balance of £129 for a studio or £158 for a 2-3 bed home. It not only allows our client to spread the cost, but it offer them more value through time as the guaranty starts from the day the proofing is carried out.

From there, if you have any mice running. It tells you clearly that we overlooked 1 access point or more. So you need to invite us in at no extra charge so we can put it right. And there is no limitation on it. The client pays for mouse proofing, to get 100% proofed, to put an end to it, and that is what we are committed to do.

Now my advice:

1) if you paid a different company to carry out a course of treatment. We should assume the bait they put down is good (peanut butter bait, canary seed bait, no whole wheat or dry blocks). Therefore mice will be more likely to eat it, and as a result the local mice population will be depleted. After a while (a few weeks from initial treatment) you should not suffer any more activity.

I should advise you to get as much value for money from the pest control company you contracted out as it is possible (at no extra charge! do not give them a penny more). You may request them to carry out follow up visits, or further proofing since what they did so far proved of little value. In any case, it is likely that in so many months the mice problem may start again as the mice population will recover (vs the bait acting as buffer of activity). All of it comes down to what is called “mice population dynamics” and it has a lot to see with what’s happening at your neighbour’s home and the quality of the build.

2) In the future, whenever the problem returns, instead of calling the same old pest control contractor or any other company that will not offer you any long term value, you may consider to call us. We would come and carry out a course of treatment and charge you our treatment fee of £89.

3) From there, whenever required you may ask us to carry out the proofing from which you would only be charge the balance that is £129 for a studio/1 bed or £158 for a 2-3 bed home.

You see, if you would call us now to do the proofing throughout your home (while you already paid someone else to do the treatment), we would charge you for proofing your home £218 or £247 depending on the size of the property. Of course it would put an end for good to your problem, but it also mean that you would have paid the other company for “nothing” if I may say.

Mice do travel from house to house following the pipework within the void space. When the pipes cross the floor and the walls, if they are not sealed around, it is as many opportunity for the mice to come  in.

The sink unit/the kitchen is where most of the pipes end up. Also it is where most of the food can be gathered. This is why in most cases, the kitchen is where the mice activity culminate.

Proofing is meant to block 100% of the access points. And by 100% I mean that there is not more way for the mice to come in.

Now if a mice found a hole that had been overlooked the first time round, the contractors just need to come back and put it right. In this view we offer a 1 year guaranty period that is plenty of time to make sure that the proofing is perfect.

Also there is very little benefit of having a pest control contract If you are a domestic client. It would mean to spend a lot of money to have somebody round just to hold your hand and make you feel better!? Treatment means to put bait down, and that is done during the first visit! Al the subsequent visit are to look into the boxes to see if it has been touched, and eventually if it need replenishing.

As long as the baits are not completely empty, the follow up visit give no real value!! And if it is a matter of checking the bait level most client should be able just to have a plain look into it and save themselves a lot of unnecessary visits,a lot of money that would be better spend blocking the gaps where mice are coming in from.

Contracts are designed for commercial premises who want to comply with the regulation. If a domestic client wants to spend more money, they need to spend it in something that will bring an end to the problem for good: mouse proofing. Contracts are also good value for block of flats and office buildings.

Now if I wanted to be sarcastic, I should say than mouse proofing is a business killer and contracts are a money spinner. What I mean is a contract will never eradicate the problem since it relies on treatment only and that the problem is mice coming in! The irony is that mice first need to come in before they eat the poison when it is them coming in that is the problem in first place.

Now mouse proofing will kill pretty much the business that you have with this new client. Since you will actually stop mice from being able to come in, so this client will never see again a mouse, therefore he will never call you back, the pet control will never have repeated business from this client, unless it is in a different property, or for a different pest?
You should follow theses steps:

1) tell the neighbours about it so they can keep an eye open and hopefully do some treatment if needed.

2) remove the old droppings and check for new ones, it is the sign of ongoing activity. Therefore you have an active infestation in your hands and you must do something to stop it from getting worse.

3) Carry out a round of treatment to deplete the stock of mice that is already there, and to protect the house from more mice that will come from the surrounding areas. We use peanut butter bait and canary seed bait that is much superior than commercial baits,and we place it mainly in the void spaces out of reach of pets and children. The further benefit of placing the bait in the void space is that it limits the need for the mice to intrude into the living space where they are not welcome.

4) If the tenants are prone to disease (baby, immunodeficiency, etc…), or that you suffer from an irrational fear of mice then you should consider to carry out the mouse proofing.

They are a few persons that approach us regarding our proofing service with strong animal welfare views. They do not lik the idea f putting poison down that will kill a living creature.

It is important that you understand that we do share these views too. Proofing ultimately is what will stop the need to bait in the future.

However, we do like to put bait in the initial phase because it just work best.

1) a mice population build up in and around our home. They kow the holes/access points and have smear marks to guide them.

2) you suddenly block all of them.

3) they will still be in the void space, still remember the access points, and work very hard reopening them or creating new ones.

4) It is very likely that you will call us to keep on repairing the proofing as they fight against it.

We did it often enough in the past to know that not baiting will cause us more difficulties. If the local mice population is left unchecked, they will compromise the quality of the proofing and of its efficiency.  Bait act also as a buffer of activity in the medium term and will protect the proofing in the long term.

So what work best is

a) there is a mice infestation

b) you bait to deplete the stock of mice and reduce the initial pressure on proofing. You carry out the proofing

c) the mice activity dies down, the smear marks fade “in freshess”. There is no more strong  pressure on the proofing, whatever mice they may be within the wall or under the house will just go on they way and they will mostly leave you in peace.

I any case, we place the bait in the void space mainly, behind the proofing where mice still can have access. We also like to leave control baits at the back of the domestic appliance where pet will not have access ie the washing machine, or fridge. Furthermore the bait is kept in a box for added security.

But t is true that pets are prone to mice bait and all precautions need to be considered to insure that non target animals are not affected.

You should not feel bad about mice dying. It is very sad because they do not do any thing bad as such. They are a health hazard and  therefore they are not welcome inside the living space where they could mess on food stuff, plates and work surfaces. So the ideal thing would have been the builders having done a proper job in first place and leaving no gaps anywhere around pipes, at floor and at kitchen unit level.

Since it didn’t happen home owners are often left with a situation they need to deal with the best they can. Proofing is clearly the solution. But we still have to take into account the resourcefulness of mice into account. Therefore baiting in the short term is a necessary evil to insure that no more baiting will have to take place in the long term. Therefore overall, it will still benefit “wildlife” if we may call them as such.

Also mice are not coming from heaven an they do no fly. If the neighbours would not have mice, mice would never have gotten to you. So you can see the problem is many fold more complex that what is happening in your home.

I mean not to distress you. But I should always advise caution above any thing and would always treat any chemicals as potentially harmful to baby.

The industry says those chemicals are safe for domestic use and for humans. There are precaution to take to avoid skin contact with the sprayed surfaces when wet. When it is dry it is all right (caution allergies).

Chemicals we use are:

alphacypermethrin, tetratmethrin, piperonil butoxide, lambda cyhalothrin and an insect growth regulator (pyriproxyfene)

What we would advise: any baby items/toys that would have been sprayed directly should be washed. The baby that need to play on the floor should do so on top of a clean blanket. Do not allow your baby to crawl on the floor that has been sprayed, wipe his hands regularly with wet wipes. The baby cot/bed need to be sprayed (wood structure), so when dry reset it with clean beddings and on top of the whole thing place a fresh sheet (adult dble bed size) and secure it to the base of the bed (so it doesn’t fall back on baby while he sleeps). Have the baby sleep in the middle.

We are used to deal with baby concerns, still we do advise the parents to gather the soft toys and baby gear on top of the table and cover with a dust sheet. The only baby items that really need spraying is the baby cot/bed.

Mice behave as a population that is subject to the environmental constraint such as room and food.

When you carry out some treatment you actually deplete the stock of mice that is in and around your property. The remaining bait will then act as a buffer of activity but soon or later the bait will be finished/gone off and/or the surrounding mice population will have build up again to previous level.

This can be further exacerbated if a neighbour is doing some refurbishment/decluttering etc..

1) We will want to carry out a round of mice treatment. We use professional peanut butter bait and canary seed bait that is fresher and much superior than commercial baits. Wenormally charge £89 regardless of the size of the property. However in some case we do charge £109 when the home is very large or the amount of bait extensive.

2) the solution to mice coming in ultimately mice not coming in any more. The same way you wish to keep burglar out, you will have to look at carrying out the mouse proofing in the future. This way the surrounding mice population won’t have access to your living space and thus, you won’t have to worry about cross contamination and diseases. Mouse proofing would start at £129 for a studio/1bed flat, and £158 for a 2-3 bed flat with 1 year guaranty.

Note: mouse proofing do applies when tenant have irrational fear of mice, or tenant are prone to catching infections (immuno depressed, babies..) or if the infestation is always returning on a regular basis. If your home is on an upper floor, the floor down below must be affected to some extent: mice do not fly and you do not bring them in your handbag, consequently there is no argument that mice need to go through the ground floor level.

Note: In case of terraced houses, the mice may travel up and down but also side ways. When you notice mice activity in you home you should always let all your next doors neighbours know about it (even more so if converted into flats).

The dynamic behind a mice infestation comes down to how a population behave, and its limiting growth factors.
It is a over elaborate way to say that the more food access and the more room/peace they enjoy the more numerous they can get.

In most case mice can’t build up as the tenants would keep their house in good condition. However in some case, the mice may find a home/tenant that allow them to build up to a high level. It may be an old man who can’t keep up with the house keeping, a flat in need of repair where the mice have a ready access to the food supply, mental issues… Once the mice population builds up, it start affecting more and more the neighbours. This home then become a hot spot of activity. Whatever treatment you do at the neighbours, the mice will eventually return.

The problem is not the mice, but the neighbours that allow them to build up for whatever reason. Now as long as that neighbours doesn’t change his way, the mice will be able to thrives. The bait will deplete the stock of mice, but eventually the bait will be depleted, and from there the mice will build up again and affect again the nearby homes.

Treatment also suggest that the mice first need to come in before they eat the poison. When it is mice coming in that is the problem in first place. This is why at Inoculand Pest Control we place the bait mainly at void space where the mice are coming from as to limit the need for them to intrude into the living space. We use peanut butter bait and canary seed bait because is is very appetising and palatable. Other cheap bait can’t always compete with the nice food the mice can scavenge around.

But ultimately the proofing is always the solution. The problem is mice coming in, the solution should be to keep them out. Mice do not appear from thin air, they do not really come from the garden, they travel from home to home following the pipework. This is why most of the problem is at the kitchen, not only because of the food supplies but primarily because in the kitchen we have so many pipes going through the floor and through the walls, so many gaps going into the kitchen units. It just take 1 pipe not being sealed around and mice can come in.

Now different companies have different strategy regarding mouse proofing. When I use to work for Lambeth Pest Control, they would request the kitchen to be take out at great expense, the holes being blocked, and the kitchen put back in. It would not work and would cost ££££s. Otherwise, they would block only a few holes, and the mice would just have to go round to the next unfilled hole.

Mouse proofing, simply means to make the boundary between living space and void space perfectly sealed, so whatever mice that are in the void spaces (under floor board, within walls) can’t come in. It is something that we know how to do cheaply in such a way that is is also easy to maintain/repair. As it is not an easy thing to do and that we want to provide value for money, we give to our customers a 1 year guaranty on the proofing. So if we forgot one access point, the client can call us back in at no charge to put it right. ! year guaranty is plenty of time to get it right.

Our clients can chose to carry out the treatment first and later upgrade for proofing, or carry out both at the same time.

We normally advise strongly on proofing when the mice infestation is a returning problem, when the tenants have an irrational fear of mice, when a member of family is likely to develop health complication resulting from mice contamination (Immuno deficient, baby, allergic).

Usually it is the landlord that pays for the work as he has a responsibility to provide for his tenants a home in good condition. But there are exceptions that may have to be taken through litigation. In doubt contact your housing officer, the citizen advise bureau or any other specialised organisation.

We adopt the same approach for the drain CCTV survey section of our business. When we treat a property for rat activity we know those rats do not appear from hin air and that to some extent it is related to the sewage system.

How did the rats escaped from the sewage system? It is a question that the CCTV scan will help answering.

At times we are called in to investigate if there are any dead bodies under the floor boards or where a rat run is coming from? But this CCTV service can be used in a multitude of scenarios.

Some companies offer this service for £60 per half an hour. As it takes about half an hour to set up, and a basic Drain CCTV Survey should take about 1/2 hour to complete, we opted to charge £129 “flat fee” for up to 2 hours.
