About Mice

In and around Gloucestershire, most mouse issues involve either the house mouse or the field/wood mouse. Both species are small, agile and very good at squeezing through tiny gaps, which means they can easily move between gardens, outbuildings and homes in towns like Stroud, Gloucester, Cheltenham and Cirencester, as well as more rural spots around Nailsworth, Dursley, Tetbury and Berkeley.

House mice tend to be grey-brown all over with relatively small feet and a tail similar in length to their body. Field and wood mice are often sandy brown with a paler underside and slightly larger eyes. From a pest control point of view, the distinction doesn’t really matter – both can spread disease and cause contamination, so prompt treatment is important wherever you live, from village homes in Fairford, Lechlade or South Cerney to cottages in Painswick, Birdlip or Cranham.

Are Mice Invading Your Property?

If you think you may have mice, it’s best to act quickly before numbers build up. Common signs include:

• small, dark droppings along skirting boards, in cupboards or loft spaces
• scratching or scurrying noises at night, especially in ceilings and wall voids
• gnawed packaging, cables, pipes or timbers
• shredded paper, insulation or fabrics used as nesting material

Chris Tudor Pest Control offers rapid response mouse treatments throughout Stroud, Stonehouse, Gloucester, Cheltenham, Cirencester and all nearby towns and villages. We’ll confirm what’s going on and recommend the most suitable treatment for your home or business.

Problems Mice Can Cause

Mice constantly mark their territory with urine and can leave droppings wherever they travel. This contamination can spread harmful bacteria such as salmonella and listeria onto kitchen worktops, shelves, food storage areas and equipment. In properties across Stroud, Gloucester, Cheltenham, Wotton-under-Edge and beyond, this presents a real risk to health – particularly in homes with children or vulnerable adults, and in food-handling businesses.

Mice also have a strong need to gnaw in order to keep their teeth worn down. Unfortunately, that often means electrical wiring, pipework, joists and stored items are at risk. Chewed cables can lead to power failures or even fires, while damaged pipes can cause water leaks and costly repairs. Left unchecked, a small mouse issue in a loft in Dursley, a shop in Cirencester or a farmhouse near Tetbury can quickly turn into significant damage.

Preventing Mice Infestations

Mice are incredibly good at finding and exploiting small openings. They can squeeze through gaps as small as 5–6mm – roughly the width of a pencil. If their head fits, their flexible bodies will follow. Typical entry points we find around properties in places like Stroud, Chalford, Nailsworth, Gloucester and Fairford include:

• gaps under doors or around pipework
• damaged vents, bricks or air bricks
• holes around cables or service entries
• broken proofing on sheds, garages and outbuildings

As part of every job, Chris will look for how mice are entering and moving around your property. We can carry out proofing work ourselves or advise you on the best materials and methods to close off access points, helping to protect homes and businesses in Slimbridge, Frampton-on-Severn, Berkeley, South Cerney, Kemble, Cricklade and beyond from future infestations.

Domestic Mouse Control

In homes, mouse populations can increase quickly, especially in warm, undisturbed areas like lofts, under-floor voids and kitchen units. Because they breed rapidly, a problem that seems minor at first can escalate fast.

If you suspect mice in your house or flat – whether you’re in Stroud, Nailsworth, Dursley, Wotton-under-Edge, Tetbury, Malmesbury or any of the surrounding Gloucestershire villages – Chris will:

1. Inspect the property to confirm activity and likely entry points.
2. Put a targeted treatment plan in place using professional baits or traps.
3. Advise on hygiene, proofing and simple changes that make your home less attractive to mice.

Our aim is not just to remove the current infestation, but also to reduce the chance of it returning.

Commercial Mouse Control

Businesses have a legal responsibility to keep premises free from rodent infestations, particularly in sectors involving food preparation, storage or service. Mice can damage stock, equipment and reputation, as well as putting you at risk of failing inspections.

Chris Tudor Pest Control works with a wide range of commercial clients across Stroud, Gloucester, Cheltenham, Cirencester, Fairford, Lechlade, Bourton-on-the-Water, Moreton-in-Marsh and surrounding towns and villages. We provide:

• one-off mouse treatments for urgent infestations
• regular monitoring and treatment contracts tailored to your premises
• detailed reports and documentation to support audits and inspections

Every contract is designed around your building, level of risk and operational needs, whether you run a café in Stroud, a shop in Wotton-under-Edge or a farm near Kemble or Bibury.
