Rodent problems can happen indoors or around the property. Signs may include droppings, gnaw marks, nesting material, damaged food packaging or noises in walls and ceilings. The right approach depends on the animal involved and where the activity is occurring, so the first step is to inspect the area and identify the source of the problem.
For indoor rodent activity, we look for travel routes, hiding areas and openings around the foundation, roofline, doors, vents and utility lines. Treatment may include traps, secured bait stations and exclusion recommendations. If the problem is specifically mice, visit our mouse extermination page for more detailed information.
Rodents can reproduce quickly, so it is worth acting when you first notice signs. Contact Gilles Lambert Pest Control to arrange an inspection and ask about the earliest available appointment.

Wildlife Control
Common signs include droppings, gnaw marks, damaged food packages, nesting material, tracks, burrows and scratching or scurrying sounds in walls or ceilings. Rodents are often most active at night, so sounds after dark or fresh droppings in the morning can point to activity that should be inspected.
The cost depends on the species involved, the amount and location of activity, property size, access, the number of visits required and whether entry-point sealing or other exclusion work is needed. An inspection helps identify the cause and determine an appropriate treatment plan for the property.
The timeline varies with the size of the infestation, the type of rodent and the number of entry points. An initial inspection and treatment may reduce activity quickly, but established problems often require monitoring, follow-up visits and exclusion work before the property can be considered under control.
A professional treatment plan should account for children, pets and other sensitive areas. Options may include traps and secured, tamper-resistant bait stations placed in appropriate locations. Tell the technician about children and pets before treatment, and follow all instructions about stations, traps and treated areas.
Cold weather encourages mice and rats to seek warmth, food and shelter indoors. Common access points include gaps around foundations, doors, vents, rooflines and utility lines. Sealing openings, repairing worn door sweeps, storing food and pet food in closed containers, securing garbage and reducing clutter can make the property less inviting.
Do not sweep or vacuum dry rodent droppings because this can raise contaminated dust. Health Canada recommends wearing protective gloves and a mask, dampening droppings and debris with a bleach-and-water solution before wiping them up, and washing hands and exposed clothing afterward. Large or heavily contaminated areas may require professional cleanup.
