Baiting is sometimes only a short term answer if you have an infestation of mice. Proofing will often be required to prevent further infestations.

Mice will chew there way into food stuffs, bags and all sorts of other household items and use the materials to nest within the home, in a quiet cupboard, rear of fridges, under the floorboards or in the insulation of a wall. Here are some facts on Mice.
