Mice Problems Solved: Comments from our Customers
We occasionally receive an email or letter from one of our customers. It is rare that they are not delighted with MouseMesh, having often suffered with mouse problems for years. If you would like to comment on your experience of MouseMesh we would be most grateful - please use our contact page.
I just thought I'd give you an update on the Mousemesh that I installed in the Autumn - 17 airbricks covered.
For the first time in 20 years in this house, no mice have taken residence for the winter beneath the suspended floors.
Usually, at the first cold snap they move in. I know they are not there, because I have been away for three weeks, and the bait I have placed under a loose floorboard is untouched. Some years they eat cartons of the stuff. It is a brilliant, simple, barrier.
Happy Christmas!
Even my DIY-challenged son-in-law managed to fix two Mousemesh grills to cover broken air bricks and they look quite attractive - black Mousemesh on a cream wall.
I have only good things to report about Mousemesh and would have no hesitation in recommending you. I placed an order online some months ago and it arrived the next day. I placed a further order a few weeks ago and when it didn't arrive I telephoned - it turned out the package had been incorrectly addressed - it can happen - thankfully there are humans behind the scenes! You very kindly agreed to despatch the goods again, just on my word. They duly arrived and some weeks later our regular postman saw the original package on a doorstep far along the road, and recognising my name he delivered it to me, and I have duly returned it to you, as is only right. Great customer service, which I feel deserves recognition. Keep up the good work!
P.S. Best of all - no mice! Brilliant!
I would like to thank you for the receipt of the previous order. I realised that I needed another medium which I have just purchased. I ordered too many of the small, but decided to keep them all the same.
As to its effectiveness, I will need to give it at least 6 months or more. I have a large Edwardian property with a cellar and could not understand why I would find mice running around as if it were their home. At least now I feel comforted that I have taken preventative measures to stop entry into my home.
Thanks for an excellent product and delivery service. I am aware because of the bad weather that it may take a while for delivery.
Kind regards,
I have recently installed 17 Mousemesh covers on airbricks around my house - the space underneath the floor had become a cosy mouse hotel, particularly in the colder months. I found the covers very easy to fit, but not by running a bead of adhesive right round the cover. It's much simpler if you fix them initially with blob of adhesive at each corner, then hold them in place for ten minutes with a brick. Then, if you wish, you can run a bead of adhesive around the top and sides.
Going round my house at ground level, however, I found a number of other places where mice might squeeze through - where pipes or cables go though the wall. I'd never really looked closely before, and I used foam filler on these other avenues. Clearly Mousemesh won't do the trick if you don't have a hard look for these other entry points - bearing in mind the tiny spaces that mice can squeeze through. All in all, I think I may now be able to claim victory - but only the very coldest months will tell. If they do still get in, it won't be because Mousemesh has let me down - there'll be yet another way in that I missed.
I was just reading (in the netmums.com coffee house forum) about your problem with mice and it's alright to get traps and poison but that will only solve your problem for a short time coz they're going to come back - mice can fit through gaps as small as a biro so block up all them little holes! Also there is this great mice and pest preventing product I found online its called Mousemesh and what is does is stops mice coming into your home through your air brick vents its really effective hope this helps here's the web site - check it out: www.mousemesh.com

THE EXTERMINATOR
So far this year, I have been plagued first by ants, then by wasps. Now autumn is here, can I expect any respite? - D Ward, by e-mail
Insects can be troublesome during the summer, and this has been a bumper year for wasps, but you’ll be glad to know that, come autumn, most insects disappear (with the exception of a few species that live indoors, such as cockroaches, cat fleas and silverfish). The bad news is, they are often replaced by rats and mice. Rats favour compost heaps and sheds, whereas mice will find their way into houses and garages — a 6mm gap is enough. You can keep them out with MouseMesh grilles, which fit over existing airbricks. They come in three sizes; prices start at £5.95.
Once inside, mice will head somewhere warm where they can nest and breed undisturbed. Refrigerator and freezer motors are perfect for them, as are the insulation around hot-water tanks and pipes, the space behind bath panels and under shower trays, and the cavities beneath kitchen cupboards. Just keep checking.
Thank you very much indeed the Mousemesh arrived in the post this morning.
I'm afraid in today's world when one doesn't hear from someone, particularly someone you haven't dealt with previously, and have only found on the web, you are inclined to worry that they are genuine - you obviously are!
I have someone coming to put them up for me in the next few days.
If I hear of anyone else who might be interested I'll pass on your details as this is certainly the first time I've ever heard of them and in fact only found you because I noticed an ad in our local paper for things to block up vents in times of flood which we had in Elgin a couple of weeks back so their ad gave you business!
Thank you again for your assistance.
Best wishes
Hi There
Just to say thanks for the speediest delivery ever! I ordered 3 Mousemeshes yesterday afternoon online and they were delivered to me this morning!!
Excellent service. (Hope my hubby is as speedy in fitting them!)
Regards
Dear Tony,
Please send me my mouse mesh, as soon as you have it. Caught one mouse last night and one the day before but he escaped as we picked up the (humane) trap!!
We need mouse mesh!
Later...
Success I hope! NO mice caught since I fitted the mesh and blocked up all the other holes in our house with expanding foam and we usually catch a few (or the same ones?) a week.
Yet later...
Still no mice- hooray!
Dear Folks,
I am delighted to have been alerted to your web-site and products. For the last ten years I have been operating a Humane Urban Wildlife Deterrence service in London and the south east. As a wildlife consultant I specialise in resolving wildlife 'pest' problems without harming the culprits.
Most of my work is with foxes, but I also deal with call-outs about squirrels, rats and mice. My tactics with mice is firstly sealing off entry points such as air vents and air bricks, followed by removal of food sources and live capture of the mice, which can then be released outside. I have been making my own 'mouse-mesh' out of 'car repair mesh' supplied by Halfords and then gluing it over the air-vents. In future I will be delighted to advise my clients to purchase your ready-made products.
Regards
