Mice usually stay close to food, water and shelter, so trap placement matters. We inspect the property for droppings, gnaw marks, nesting material and likely travel routes before recommending a control plan. This helps us place traps or bait stations where mice are active instead of relying on guesswork.
The treatment method depends on the property, the level of activity and where mice are travelling. Options may include traps, secured bait stations and other control measures. We will explain the recommended approach and any steps you should take during the service.
Removing active mice is only part of the solution. We also look for gaps around doors, foundations, utility lines, vents and other common entry points. Sealing accessible openings and reducing food or nesting sources can help prevent another infestation.
The type of mouse, the number of signs and the location of the activity can affect the treatment plan. House mice commonly live inside buildings, while field mice may enter when they find food and shelter. We will inspect the property and recommend the appropriate control measures. For more information, visit our existing mice information page and Winnipeg mouse-proofing checklist.
The first line of defense is to get rid of easy entry points. Mice can squeeze through cracks as small as a dime, while rats can enter through a quarter-sized hole. Even the small gaps created by worn thresholds under doors will allow mice access to your home.
Extermination is a two-part process: we want to rid your home of any mice who have taken up residence and eliminate any entry points that could be used by mice to enter your residence in the future.
Extermination may involve setting mouse traps and bait stations in areas that are frequented by mice. Entry points can be sealed with sheet metal, wire mesh, or other substances.
No two mouse infestations are exactly the same, so it’s hard to give an exact timeframe for mouse extermination. We offer on the first service an exterior inspection for structural deficiencies if we find any we will seal it up so no new activity can’t enter the home. Remember – if you don’t properly seal off the premises, new mice may enter your building. We then proceed to set up the interior of the house with all sorts of devices to quickly eliminate the mice population. We then follow up two more times both two weeks apart to make sure the problem is eliminated and customer satisfaction is ensured.
They can – though, of course, it won’t be the same mice. As long as rodents have an easy access point into your building, they’ll continue to enter it; human habitats are warm and full of food. That’s why we highly recommend you listen to your exterminator’s advice on mice control and seal off all possible access points to your home. While it can be a lot of work, it’s worth it to prevent further infestations.
ice tend to be quiet and discreet – after all, they don’t want to be caught by humans. Despite this, there are a number of signs that mice may be in your home. You may:
-Hear scratching and gnawing sounds
-See small black mouse droppings
-See grease or oil marks on walls, appliances, pipes, or other surfaces that the mice travel along frequently
-Smell something acrid, somewhat like ammonia – the smell of mouse urine is detectible, but the smells of human activity can mask the smell of urine. If you suspect mice, try smelling the air before cooking or engaging in other daily routines.
-See mouse prints in the dust
-Notice damage to the packaging of your foodstuffs
-See mice – if you see one, you probably have several
-Notice your allergies are getting triggered without an obvious source
-Notice your pets are curious without an obvious source
-See “urine pillars”, where grease, dirt, and hair combine with mouse urine
If you notice any of those signs, you may have a mouse infestation.
Characteristically, mice are scavengers, always looking for food and shelter. Even if your home is exceptionally clean, you may find mice have taken up residence. It’s not all about cleanliness – it’s about whether or not mice have access points to your home. They tend to migrate into homes when the weather starts getting cool, as they need a warm place for the winter. That said, mice are known to enter homes in all seasons.
It’s hard to speak to the intelligence of mice, but we can certainly speak to their behaviours. Mice will avoid areas that smell like humans, so traps should be set with gloves to prevent them from having a human scent. They should be set along walls, and they can’t be set with too much bait. Avoid reusing traps, as mice may be able to smell the mouse who died on the trap. You might try acclimating mice to traps by using bait on traps that haven’t been set yet, then setting them when you notice activity.
Yes. Mice can carry all kinds of different diseases, including hantavirus, salmonella, and listeria. These illnesses can be transmitted through their urine, droppings, and saliva – and they can all cause serious health problems. And that’s without even mentioning how mice can increase the risk of fire and water damage in your home.
Same-day or next-day service may be available, depending on the schedule and where the property is located. Call Gilles Lambert Pest Control as soon as you notice mice, droppings or scratching sounds, and we will offer the earliest suitable appointment.
