Anyone had any good experiences with any particular firms that claim to rid your property of mice?
Have been finding droppings here and there and have had the odd sighting too.
Many thanks.

You can contact the council and they will come and do it. I didn't have a mice problem but a cockroach one and they did the trick at eliminating them. I found the service to be reliable and reasonable in price. I think they use quite good products as they use the same services on their own council properties....
There have been a few discussions on here about mice, at least one started by me. So try a search, I had lots of replies and recommendations.
We've lived here for nearly 11 years and had mice 2 or 3 times. The council are good, and not too expensive, but they only put down poison so you need to try to block up all the tiny holes (a mouse can get through a hole the width of a pencil) with wire wool.
The last time we had them it was horrible, we went away for a week and in this time they seemed to take over the house. I saw one in my bedroom and found droppings in the children's rooms. I completely freaked out, we did get the council in but I started seeing them again about a month later. We were already thinking of adopting a cat so this just gave us the push. Cats seem to be the only long term solution that really works.
Sticky traps are very effective however you are then left with a terrified shreiking live mouse stuck to the trap and no way of liberating it; I was told that to put it out of its misery I would have to kill it and that a quick drowning was out of the question as this was illegal.
I second bunging up every little hole with wire wool, and borrowing a cat.
Why is drowning the mouse illegal? That would seem the obvious way to kill it quickly. I agree that glue traps are horrible. I successfully caught one in a humane trap and transported it 7km to work with me to release in the park outside my office. Hopefully
There's never just one.
And one mile is enough I'm told.
THE ANSWER! all you need is a SPOON and a MOUSER(cat) to visit occasionally
