As well as being incredibly unsettling for your employees, if word gets out, it could also be disastrous to your reputation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you\u2019re running an office for your staff or your business is customer focused (such as a shop or restaurant for example), below we explain how to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.prokill.co.uk\/rodents\/mice\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">get rid of mice<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> at work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Encourage employees to be vigilant\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Food is the quickest and easiest way to encourage a mouse infestation. When you have multiple employees on site all day however, it can be incredibly difficult to manage this.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ask your staff to observe the following good practices which will help to get rid of mice:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bring and store all food in a tightly sealed container<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clear out cupboards regularly and wipe away any food debris<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clear up spills immediately\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wipe down all surfaces at the end of the day<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clean up any crumbs dropped on desks, in keyboards and on the floor<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t leave cakes, cookies or any other shared food out overnight<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep food in the kitchen rather than in desk drawers\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Store rubbish securely\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Businesses generate a lot of rubbish on a daily basis which is very appealing to mice. General rubbish provides lots of good hiding places and food rubbish is a nice easy meal for rodents.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ensure that kitchen bins are emptied and taken outside on a daily basis. Once outside, store any rubbish in a secure bin with a tight fitting lid so mice can\u2019t get inside. If possible, also try to store the bins as far away from any doors as you can.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Eliminate water sources<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mice will also look for a water source as this is crucial to survival. Remind everyone to wipe up any spills immediately and at the end of the day, also try to ensure that all taps and sinks have been dried.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have any leaking taps or pipes (whether it\u2019s inside or outside), get them repaired as quickly as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Check for potential entry points\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mice can fit through holes as small as a quarter of an inch so it\u2019s worth taking the time to do a thorough inspection of your premises. If you notice any holes or cracks in the building, seal them up with concrete, mortar, steel wool or metal flashing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Call Prokill\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your business has a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.prokill.co.uk\/rodents\/mice\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mouse infestation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, we highly recommend that you call a professional pest controller as soon as possible.
