Apex treats house-mouse infestations for a fixed £160 +VAT — two visits, multi-point trapping and tamper-resistant bait stations, plus a written entry report — with no call-out fee.

What Apex Mouse Control in Sheffield Includes
Apex Pest Control Ltd provides a complete, fixed-price mouse control service for Sheffield homes and businesses — survey, treatment, proofing advice and follow-up in one programme.
Every job starts with a thorough inspection: the technician confirms it's the house mouse, finds the runs and entry points, and explains exactly what's needed before any treatment.
Because mice are inquisitive, sporadic nibblers that feed from many points, treatment uses multiple trap and bait points — tamper-resistant bait stations with CRRU-compliant rodenticide plus break-back trapping — placed safely away from children and pets.
You receive a written entry report listing every access point found, so the mice are sealed out at source. The fixed £160 +VAT price covers two visits, the traps and bait stations and the entry report. No call-out fee, ever.
For the full biology and treatment detail, see the Apex guide to mouse control and the house mouse.
Every Mouse Control Visit Includes
- Thorough inspection and house-mouse identification
- Multi-point trapping for an inquisitive nibbler
- CRRU-compliant baiting in tamper-resistant bait stations
- Written entry report listing every access point
- Two visits included in the fixed price
- No call-out fee, ever
How We Treat It
How Apex Pest Control Clears Mice in Sheffield
Apex follows a clear four-step process on every Sheffield mouse job, so you always know what happens next.
-
Survey and quote
The technician inspects the property, confirms the house mouse, finds the runs and entry points and gives a fixed price before starting.
-
Treat at multiple points
Mice feed from many points, so Apex sets multiple traps and tamper-resistant bait stations under the CRRU Code and COSHH 2002.
-
Follow-up visit
Apex returns to check progress, reset traps, top up bait and confirm activity has stopped — the second visit is included.
-
Proof the gaps
The written entry report shows where mice got in, so the 6mm gaps can be sealed with wire wool, mesh, sealant and mortar — the only way to stop them returning.
Complete the full programme and any recommended remedial works, and Apex backs the result with a 12-month proofing guarantee.

Identification
Signs of Mice in Your Sheffield Home
Apex recommends booking an inspection the moment you notice any of these — mice breed fast, so early action keeps the cost down.

Why Sheffield Gets Mice — and Where They Come From
Apex Pest Control Ltd treats mice across Sheffield every week, and the city's housing makes it easy for them. The dense Victorian terraces and back-to-backs of Walkley, Heeley, Hillsborough and Crookesmoor share cavity walls and voids, so mice travel between properties and a single home rarely stays the only one affected.
Mice move indoors as the weather cools, with a clear influx from October to February. The large student and rental market around Crookesmoor, Broomhill and Ecclesall Road drives recurring mouse problems in HMOs, while city-centre flats and food premises offer warmth and constant food. Apex finds the runs, treats at multiple points and seals the gaps so the mice are kept out.

The House Mouse — What You're Actually Dealing With
The mouse in almost every Sheffield 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 Sheffield — Your Questions Answered
Answers to the questions Sheffield residents ask most often about mouse control. Each answer is self-contained and mirrored in the page schema.
How much does mouse control cost in Sheffield?
Apex charges a fixed £160 +VAT — two visits, multi-point trapping, tamper-resistant bait stations and a written entry report. Any extra visit is £60 +VAT, agreed upfront. No call-out fee.
Why are mice so hard to get rid of?
A house mouse needs only a 6mm gap to get in, breeds fast, and nibbles from many points rather than one. Apex treats at multiple points and seals the gaps, which DIY single-bait approaches can't do.
How soon can you start treating the mice?
Because mice breed fast and a small problem grows quickly, Apex books the survey and first trapping visit at a time that suits you, 7 days a week, rather than leaving the runs to spread.
Is mouse treatment safe with children and pets in the house?
Yes. Mouse rodenticide is locked inside tamper-resistant bait stations and tucked into the runs and voids mice use, out of reach of children and pets, under the CRRU Code and COSHH 2002. Break-back trapping is set in the same hidden spots, and once the gaps are proofed the mice are sealed out for good. Apex never uses glue boards.
Do mice carry disease?
Yes — mice can carry Salmonella and Leptospira, contaminate far more food than they eat, and their droppings can trigger allergies and asthma. They also gnaw cables, a fire risk.
Who's responsible for mice — landlord or tenant?
Under the Prevention of Damage by Pests Act 1949, owners and occupiers must keep property free of mice. Apex supplies a written entry report as documented evidence for compliance.
Do you cover my Sheffield postcode?
Apex covers the whole Sheffield area and the S postcodes, including Hillsborough, Crookes, Walkley, Ecclesall, Broomhill, Nether Edge, Heeley, Handsworth, Chapeltown and Stocksbridge. Call 0114 349 1098 to confirm.
How did the mice get in?
Through gaps as small as 6mm — around pipes, under doors, air bricks and worn mortar — which they gnaw larger. Apex finds and lists every entry point in your written report and proofs them so the access is sealed.
