Mice Control in Glasgow, East Kilbride & Surrounding Areas
Fast, practical help to deal with mice in homes and businesses across Strathclyde.
Why You Need Professional Mice Control
Mice are more than just a nuisance. Once they get inside, they contaminate food, damage wiring and insulation, and spread bacteria through droppings and urine. In both homes and commercial premises, this can quickly become a hygiene and safety issue.
Shop-bought traps and poisons often deal with one mouse while the rest of the problem stays hidden in walls, lofts, or under floors. Without finding how they’re getting in, mice will keep returning. Poorly placed bait can also create smells if mice die in inaccessible areas.
At Strathclyde Pest Control, inspections are carried out by Ben, our lead technician. He looks at the full picture, entry points, nesting areas, and activity levels, so the treatment actually solves the problem rather than masking it.

When to Call a Professional
If you’re seeing repeated signs of mice, hearing activity in walls or ceilings, or finding droppings in food areas, it’s time to get it checked properly. Mice breed quickly, and small problems rarely stay small for long.
If there’s a risk to children, pets, or food preparation areas, avoid using off-the-shelf poisons. NHS guidance highlights the health risks linked to rodent contamination, particularly in kitchens and commercial settings.
Seasonal Monitoring and Squirrel Prevention
Mice are drawn indoors by warmth and food. Sealing gaps around pipes, vents, and doors helps, but monitoring is just as important. Regular checks of lofts, garages, and under-sink areas can catch early activity before it turns into an infestation.
In businesses, especially food premises and warehouses, routine monitoring helps prevent disruptions and compliance issues. Prevention is always easier than dealing with an established problem.
Seasonality: Squirrel Activity at a Glance
Autumn to Winter: Peak indoor activity as mice seek warmth and shelter
Spring: Breeding increases, leading to population growth
Summer: Activity often shifts to sheds, garages, and outdoor storage
Timing matters because early intervention reduces the scale of treatment needed and limits damage.
Mice problems need careful inspection and a measured approach. As a family-run local business, Strathclyde Pest Control focuses on proper assessments, clear advice, and treatments that work.
Ben carries out inspections himself, explaining what’s going on and what needs done. There’s no rushed work or guesswork, just practical solutions based on experience with properties across Glasgow, East Kilbride, and Lanarkshire.
