Mice Control Rotherham
Finding tiny droppings behind the toaster, or hearing them dart through the cavity after dark? Apex Pest Control Ltd clears mice from Rotherham homes and businesses — then seals the pencil-thin gaps they slipped through.
A mouse problem is nearly always bigger than the few you see. Apex Pest Control is family-run, led by founder Tony Johnson, and covers Rotherham from the nearby Sheffield head office on a local Rotherham line. The team treats at many points and proofs the gaps, so the mice are kept out — not simply baited and left to creep back.

A house mouse gets in through a gap from about 6mm — a pencil width — and nibbles from many points, so a single bait box never clears them. The UK sees roughly 80,000 mouse call-outs a year (BPCA). Apex Pest Control Ltd treats at multiple points and proofs the gaps for a fixed £160 +VAT — two visits, tamper-resistant bait stations and a written entry report, no call-out fee. Rotherham line: 01709 794258.
What Apex Mice Control in Rotherham Covers
Apex Pest Control Ltd delivers a complete, fixed-price mice control service for Rotherham homes, landlords and food premises — survey, multi-point treatment, proofing and a written report rolled into one programme. As BPCA-member rodent and vermin control specialists, Apex treats the mice problem and prevents the next one in a single visit pattern.
Every job opens with a careful inspection. The technician confirms it is the house mouse, follows the runs to the entry points, and sets a fixed price before any treatment begins.
Because a mouse is a sporadic nibbler that feeds a little from many places, Apex never relies on one bait box. The team places multiple trap and bait points close together, then lists every access gap in a written entry report so the route in is sealed — not just dosed.
For landlords and letting agents across the borough's rental and former pit-village terraces, that written report doubles as documented evidence for HHSRS, the Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Act 2018 and any deposit dispute — the proof a managed property needs. For Rotherham food businesses, Apex runs survey-led integrated pest management with audit-ready records — ROMs, COSHH sheets, method statements and a certificate of compliance — to protect the Food Hygiene Rating under the Food Safety and Hygiene (England) Regulations 2013.

How We Treat It
How Apex Clears Mice in Rotherham — Step by Step
Apex follows a clear five-step process on every Rotherham mouse job, so you always know what happens next.
-
Survey and fixed quote
The technician inspects the property, confirms the house mouse, traces the runs along walls and skirtings to the entry points, and quotes a fixed price before lifting a tool.
-
Treat at many points
Because mice feed from lots of spots at once, Apex installs CRRU-compliant rodenticide in tamper-resistant bait stations and adds break-back trapping nearby — all under COSHH 2002 and the UK Biocidal Products Regulation.
-
Return visit
The second included visit checks the take, resets the trapping, tops up where needed and confirms the activity has gone quiet — no guesswork.
-
Proof the gaps from about 6mm
The team seals the tiny openings with steel wire wool, mesh, sealant, mortar and bristle strips, and fits mesh over vents and air bricks — the part that actually keeps mice out.
-
Entry report and guarantee
You receive a written entry report naming every gap found. Complete the full programme and all recommended remedial works, and Apex backs it with a conditional 12-month rat and mouse proofing guarantee.

Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council pest control, via Rotherham Environmental Health, is a paid service for most households, usually slower to attend, and narrow in the pests it handles. Around the borough a basic mouse job tends to start at £60–120, with a standard domestic treatment commonly nearer £150 plus VAT. Apex answers with one published figure that already includes the proofing and the report — treated at many points and kept out, with no call-out fee. The only call-out charge is a £60 pest-identification visit, which is deducted if treatment proceeds. View our full domestic price list.

Why Mice Spread So Easily Through Rotherham Homes
Apex Pest Control Ltd sees the same story across the borough — with mice, the trouble is rarely the drains and almost always the building. Rotherham's older terraced rows and former pit-village streets, from Maltby and Rawmarsh to Swinton and Wath-upon-Dearne, are stitched together with shared wall cavities, suspended floors and service-pipe gaps.
Those hidden voids act as a private network. A mouse needs only a gap from about 6mm, so once one home is occupied the colony drifts along the cavities into the houses either side. That makes mice an indoor problem of kitchens, lofts and the space under units far more than a sewer one. Add the borough's rental stock and town-centre food premises, where warmth and crumbs are constant, and the pressure rarely lets up. Finding mice says nothing about a clean home — Apex traces the runs, treats at many points and seals the route, so the cause is fixed rather than masked.

The House Mouse — What You're Actually Dealing With
The mouse in almost every Rotherham home is the house mouse, Mus musculus. It is small, agile and a superb climber, and it needs very little to live — barely any food and almost no water.
Mice Control in Rotherham — Your Questions Answered
Answers to the questions Rotherham 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 Rotherham?
Apex Pest Control Ltd charges a fixed £160 +VAT — two visits, multi-point trapping, tamper-resistant bait stations and a written entry report. Any extra visit for a heavy infestation is £60 +VAT, agreed first. There is no call-out fee, only a £60 pest-identification visit that is deducted if treatment proceeds. Local market jobs often start around £60–120, but rarely include the proofing.
How did mice get into my house?
Through a gap from about 6mm — a pencil width — around pipes, under doors, at air bricks and through worn mortar. In Rotherham's older terraced and pit-village streets, shared wall cavities and suspended floors then let mice drift between adjoining homes. Apex finds and lists every entry point in your report and seals it.
I've put down traps and a bait box — why do they keep coming back?
Because a mouse nibbles from many points rather than one, breeds faster than a few traps can keep up, and slips back through any gap left unsealed. Apex treats at multiple points and proofs the openings, which a single shop-bought bait box simply cannot do.
Why don't shop-bought traps and poison clear mice?
Too few bait points, a fast breeding rate and unsealed gaps all work against you, and many UK house mice now carry anticoagulant resistance through the VKORC1 gene. From 2026 professional rodenticides also require CRRU certification — so a certified technician using multi-point control and proofing is the reliable, legal route.
Are your treatments safe around children and pets?
Yes. All rodenticide sits inside tamper-resistant bait stations, set well out of reach and used under the CRRU Code and COSHH 2002, with trapping placed discreetly alongside. Apex does not use glue boards. Your technician shows you each placement and where to keep clear while the treatment works.
It's only a couple of mice — is it really a problem?
Yes. A female can produce 5–10 litters a year, around 5–6 young each, breeding year-round indoors, so two mice rarely stay two for long. They also leave 50–80 droppings a day each and contaminate far more food than they eat — acting early keeps the work and the bill smaller.
Is the landlord or the tenant responsible for mice?
The Prevention of Damage by Pests Act 1949 places a duty on occupiers to keep property free of mice, and an infestation can rate as a hazard under the Housing Act 2004 and HHSRS. Apex supplies a written entry report as documented evidence to support a landlord's duties under the Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Act 2018.
Are mice a health risk?
Yes. Mice are a reservoir for Salmonella, can carry Leptospira, and contaminate far more food than they consume. Their urine and droppings can trigger allergies and asthma, and their gnawing on cables is a recognised fire risk — which is why Apex treats every mouse job as a health priority.
Do you cover my Rotherham area?
Apex covers the whole borough across the S60–S66 postcodes, including Maltby, Rawmarsh, Swinton, Wath-upon-Dearne, Aston, Dinnington, Greasbrough, Kimberworth, Thurcroft and Wickersley. Call 01709 794258 to confirm your street.
Do you also deal with rats?
Yes. Apex handles both rodents, and a mouse problem sometimes runs alongside a rat one. For rats specifically, see rat control in Rotherham — the same fixed-price, treat-and-proof approach.
