Apex Pest Control Ltd provides professional mice control across Leeds and West Yorkshire as a BPCA-certified member. Apex Pest Control Ltd treats house mouse (Mus musculus) infestations for a fixed £160 +VAT — two visits, tamper-resistant bait stations and a written entry report, with no call-out fee. Nathan Marshall, the local Leeds technician, attends 7 days a week, identifies how the mice are getting in and quotes any proofing separately after inspection.
Why Leeds Gets Mice — and Where They Come From
Apex Pest Control Ltd treats mice in homes right across Leeds, and most infestations follow the same pattern — mice moving indoors for warmth and food.
The house mouse nests in lofts, under floors and behind kitchen units, wherever there is shelter close to a food source.
Finding mice is not a reflection on your home. The house mouse gets into the cleanest, most modern Leeds houses through gaps as small as 6mm, so there is no need for embarrassment — Apex Pest Control Ltd treats every job discreetly, professionally and without judgement.
Leeds housing makes it easier. The city's back-to-back and Victorian terraces share walls and service voids that let mice travel between neighbouring properties.
Hotspots are well known to the team. Apex Pest Control Ltd sees heavy mouse pressure in Headingley, Hyde Park, Holbeck, Kirkstall and Hunslet, where older and shared housing draws mice in.
Mice breed fast. A female house mouse produces five to ten litters a year, so a few droppings can become an infestation within weeks.
Timing matters too. The house mouse is active year-round, but Leeds sees a clear peak through autumn and winter as mice come inside.
Leeds at a Glance
Identification
Signs of Mice in Your Leeds Home
Apex Pest Control Ltd recommends booking an inspection the moment you notice any of these signs — mice breed fast (5–10 litters a year), so early action keeps the cost down.
Droppings
Small black, rod-shaped droppings 3–6 mm long, scattered near food, under sinks and along skirting.
Scratching or scurrying
Noises in walls, under floors or in the loft, most often at night.
Gnaw marks
On skirting, cables, pipes or food packaging; mice gnaw constantly to keep their teeth short.
Grease smears
Dark, greasy rub marks along skirting boards and mouse runs.
Musky odour
A distinctive musky, ammonia-like smell in cupboards or voids where mice nest.
Nests & shredded material
Balls of shredded paper, fabric or loft insulation tucked behind appliances, in lofts or in airing cupboards.

What Apex Mice Control in Leeds Includes
Apex Pest Control Ltd provides a complete, fixed-price mice control service for Leeds homes — survey, treatment, a written entry report and a follow-up visit in one programme. Once the property is inspected, if entry points need sealing Apex shows you the issue and quotes the best proofing solution separately.
Every job starts with a thorough inspection. The technician identifies the species, locates the entry points and explains exactly what is needed before any treatment starts.
Treatment uses CRRU-compliant rodenticide baiting in tamper-resistant bait stations, placed safely away from children and pets, alongside break-back trapping where appropriate.
You receive a written entry report listing every access point found — the basis for any proofing quote, so mice can be sealed out at source rather than just baited.
The fixed £160 +VAT price covers two visits, the bait stations and the entry report. There is no call-out fee, ever.
Our Leeds mouse control service is part of Apex Pest Control’s wider mouse control service and house mouse guide.
Every Mice Control Visit Includes
- Thorough inspection and species identification
- CRRU-compliant baiting in tamper-resistant bait stations
- Break-back trapping where appropriate
- Written entry report listing every access point
- Two visits included in the fixed price

Mice Control Done Legally and Responsibly
Apex Pest Control Ltd treats mice to the UK legal framework for pest control, using qualified, CRRU-certified technicians and non-target-safe methods.
- Prevention of Damage by Pests Act 1949 — owners and occupiers have a legal duty to keep property free of rodents, including mice (legislation.gov.uk).
- COSHH 2002 — rodenticides are used under a hazardous-substances risk assessment and stored and handled safely.
- Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 — treatment methods protect non-target species, with no harm to protected wildlife.
- CRRU UK rodenticide stewardship — second-generation anticoagulants are building-associated only, and from 1 January 2026 every professional user must hold CRRU-approved certification such as the RSPH Level 2 Safe Use of Rodenticides (thinkwildlife.org).
- Tamper-resistant bait stations and a written entry report as standard; any proofing to seal entry points is inspected and quoted separately — backed by a 12-month proofing guarantee when the full programme and recommended remedial works are completed.
How We Treat It
How Apex Pest Control Clears Mice in Leeds
Apex Pest Control Ltd follows a clear four-step process on every Leeds mouse job, so you always know what happens next.
-
Survey and quote
Nathan inspects the property, confirms it is mice (not rats), finds the entry points and gives you a fixed price before starting.
-
Treat
The team installs tamper-resistant bait stations and sets traps where needed, all under the CRRU Code and COSHH 2002.
-
Follow-up visit
Apex returns to check progress, top up bait and confirm activity has stopped — the second visit is included in the price.
-
Proof at source
The written entry report shows where mice got in, so the access points (gaps of 6mm or larger) can be sealed — the only way to stop them coming back.
Complete the full programme and any recommended remedial works, and Apex Pest Control Ltd backs the result with a 12-month proofing guarantee.
Pest Intelligence
The House Mouse — What You're Actually Dealing With
The mouse in almost every Leeds home is the house mouse, Mus musculus — the most common indoor rodent in the UK, and a smaller, separate animal from the brown rat.
- Salmonella — spread by faecal contamination of food; around 9,480 UK cases were confirmed in 2023 (UKHSA, 2024).
- Listeria — house mice carry Listeria monocytogenes and contaminate food and surfaces through droppings and urine.
- Electrical fire risk — mice gnaw constantly, and damaged cabling from rodent gnawing is a recognised cause of house fires.

Mice Control in Leeds — Your Questions Answered
Answers to the questions Leeds residents ask most often about mice control. Each answer is self-contained and mirrored in the page schema.
How much does mice control cost in Leeds?
Apex Pest Control Ltd charges a fixed £160 +VAT for mice control in Leeds, covering two visits, tamper-resistant bait stations and a written entry report. Any proofing to seal entry points is quoted separately after inspection. Any extra visit is £60 +VAT, agreed upfront. There is no call-out fee. Leeds City Council charges £160 inc VAT for the same kind of treatment.
Does Leeds City Council remove mice for free?
Leeds City Council provides mouse treatment free only for Housing Leeds tenants; for other homeowners and private tenants it charges £160 inc VAT (leeds.gov.uk, 2026). The council can take several working days to attend, whereas Apex Pest Control Ltd attends 7 days a week.
How long does it take to get rid of mice?
Most Leeds mouse infestations are controlled over the two visits included in the Apex programme, with bait and traps taking effect between them. Apex Pest Control Ltd attends 7 days a week for fast attendance, and confirms activity has stopped before sealing the entry points so the mice do not return.
Why don't shop-bought mouse traps and baits work?
House mice nest close to their food and spread across several harbourages, so one or two shop-bought traps rarely reach the whole population, and bait left without proofing simply draws more mice in. Apex Pest Control Ltd places professional bait and traps along the routes mice use and seals the entry points — which DIY products cannot do.
Are your treatments safe around children and pets?
Yes. Apex Pest Control Ltd places all rodenticide in tamper-resistant bait stations, positioned safely away from children and pets, and used under the CRRU Code and COSHH 2002. Your technician will explain every placement so you know exactly where treatment is and is not.
Who is responsible for mice — landlord or tenant?
Under the Prevention of Damage by Pests Act 1949, owners and occupiers must keep property free of rodents, including mice, and infestation can be a category hazard under the HHSRS. In practice the landlord usually arranges treatment. Apex Pest Control Ltd supplies a written entry report as documented evidence for compliance.
Will mice affect my food hygiene rating?
Yes — mouse evidence is a food-safety failure under the Food Safety and Hygiene (England) Regulations 2013 and can lower a Food Hygiene Rating immediately. Apex Pest Control Ltd provides integrated pest management with audit-ready records and a certificate of compliance for EHO and brand audits.
Do you cover my Leeds postcode?
Apex Pest Control Ltd covers the whole Leeds area, LS1 to LS29, including Headingley, Chapel Allerton, Roundhay, Harehills, Beeston, Morley, Garforth, Armley and Wetherby, plus parts of Wakefield, Bradford and Harrogate. Call Nathan on 0113 390 4270 to confirm your street.
How do mice get into my home?
House mice squeeze through gaps as small as 6mm — around a pipe, under a door or through an air brick. Apex Pest Control Ltd traces the entry points, lists them in your written report and seals gaps of 6mm or larger so mice cannot return.
