Mice Control Gillingham
Street after street of inter-war semis, and a cavity wall behind nearly every one that gives mice a clean run from the sub-floor to the loft.
Mice Control in Gillingham
A cavity wall is an easy corridor for something that only needs a pencil-width gap - once inside at floor level, a mouse can travel the cavity up to the loft without crossing open space at any point, which is exactly why noise is so often heard in more than one room.
Inter-war semis across Gillingham share this construction almost street for street, so the entry point causing a problem in one house is very often the same detail repeated next door.
Local pattern
The Route Up The Cavity
A survey on this type of house checks the airbricks, the meter box entry and the eaves as the three most common places the cavity gets breached, rather than assuming the noise location is the entry point.
Because the construction is so consistent across the street, a mouse problem in a semi-detached property is worth checking against the shared party wall too - not because it always spreads, but because it explains why proofing one side sometimes isn't enough.
Loft insulation gets pulled into nesting material readily in this type of roof void, so a loft check is part of any full survey even if the noise was reported downstairs.

We hear scratching in more than one room. Is that one mouse or several?
Often one route via the cavity wall reaching more than one room, rather than several separate entry points - the survey traces the actual path.
Could it be coming from next door's side of the wall?
Worth checking, since semis on this construction share a party wall - it doesn't always spread, but it's a common explanation when one-sided proofing doesn't hold.
How much is mice control in Gillingham?
From £260 for a standard semi-detached survey and treatment.
