Mouse & Rat Control in Ottawa
Mice look for warmth indoors as Ottawa's weather turns cold, usually from fall into winter. Newer subdivisions beside fields and the greenbelt, such as Barrhaven, Kanata and Stittsville, can see mice from nearby construction and open land, while older homes in areas like the Glebe, Vanier and Westboro often have more gaps in foundations and stone walls.
Prevention tips
- Seal gaps around pipes, cables and dryer vents with steel mesh or copper wool
- Keep firewood and stored items away from the house
- Store pet food and birdseed in sealed containers
- Fix gaps under garage doors with a new rubber seal
Questions about mouse & rat control
How much does mouse control cost in Ottawa?
Mouse and rat control is a flat $299 plus HST for homes. It includes the inspection, bait stations, an entry-point report, small-gap sealing, a follow-up visit and our six-month guarantee.
Do you deal with rats as well as mice?
Yes. Rats can need more stations and more follow-up. We confirm the price after the inspection if the job is larger than a standard treatment.
Is the bait safe around children and pets?
We use tamper-resistant, locked stations placed where children and pets cannot reach them, and we tell you where every station is. We do not use snap traps or glue traps.
Do I need to leave the house?
No. The stations are sealed and tamper-resistant, so you can stay home during the visit.
How long until the mice are gone?
The bait works over several days, so most homes see activity drop within a week or two. Sealing entry points is what keeps them from coming back.
What does the guarantee cover?
If mice or rats return to the treated property within six months of your final visit, we re-treat at no charge. It covers re-treatment only, and it depends on following the preparation and sealing advice.
