Why house mouse pressure is specific to Guildford
Guildford house mouse pressure runs higher than Fleetwood because the housing stock is older (more 1970s and pre-1990 than Fleetwood's 1990s-2000s mix) and townhouse density is higher. Older townhouse complexes built in the 1980s have shared utility chases that mice traverse without resistance once a single unit is compromised. Guildford Town Centre commercial corridor produces baseline mouse populations from food-service businesses that range into adjacent residential blocks. Schools and community centres add periodic surge activity (mice flushed from school storage areas during summer break show up in adjacent homes). Mature street trees along 104 Avenue and 152 Street provide widespread soffit-return access for attic-direct entry.
