About Jones & Son

Jones and son are a family run business; many of our products are manufactured by us and then distributed from our warehouse in Devon. All orders made by 3pm are delivered next working day to the entire UK. Delivery to the rest of Europe takes 3 working days.

The two questions we are asked the most is 'how to kill mice painlessly' and 'how to kill a mouse humanely'.

Well, here at Jones & Son we believe that it is not possible to kill mice painlessly. Currently the most widely used method used to kill a mouse is poison rodenticides. Almost all of these mouse baits and mouse poisons contain anticoagulants which thin the blood of the mouse. Death usually occurs from internal bleeding.

We believe the only humane way to deal with mice is to use Humane Mouse Traps; they don't kill a mouse they simply trap it alive. The trapped mouse is then simply released at a distance of 2 miles, never to return. We like to call them 'mouse relocation units'.

Jones & Son's key staff are trained and qualified with the Royal Society of Health; they have pioneered the 3T plan, 'Track, Trap, Thwart' that is being adopted by many in the pest control industry.

So when we are asked 'how to kill mice' or 'how to kill a mouse humanely' our answer is don't because:

  1. It isn't humane, the mouse will die slowly.
  2. Don't use poisons; you never know if a child, cat or bird of prey will get hold of the poison or the poisoned mouse.
  3. Don't use poisons or you might end up with a smelling rodent under your floor or in the wall cavity.
