With the arrival of the cold autumn days, small rodents such as mice and voles actively seek shelter to protect themselves from low temperatures. Although these pests can be present throughout the year, they are particularly numerous during the autumn season due to the settling cold. Your homes then become ideal refuges for them, offering warmth and food.
To achieve their goal, mice will stop at nothing. While you are reading this text, they may be along the walls of your home, ready to squeeze through an opening of barely 0.6 centimeters. These rodents are excellent contortionists and climbers, capable of entering your home through the smallest gap.
Mice can reach the attic by slipping under the soffits, climbing to the top of brick walls, passing under the exterior siding of the house, or simply through a small crack or defective caulking joint. They take advantage of every opportunity to get into your home. In addition to our professional extermination treatments, we guide you on how to make the necessary repairs to your home. We also offer caulking and minor repair services to prevent infestations.
For individuals living in Montreal or owning rental properties, the situation is somewhat different. Buildings are often old, attached to one another, or have interconnected service basements, facilitating the movement of rodents. In such cases, it is complex to repair or locate all entry points. However, thanks to our extensive experience, we can offer you several methods to prevent and control the problem. In the suburbs, voles, such as the field vole, can also enter your homes, but the treatment remains similar to that used against mice.
Should I be worried if I have found or caught a mouse or vole? The answer is yes. It is crucial to act quickly, because a female can give birth to a litter every 40 to 50 days, with 4 to 7 pups that will in turn become prolific rodents in just eight weeks. Moreover, mice can transmit diseases transmit diseases; their urine and feces are harmful to your health, especially in cases of prolonged exposure. Their teeth, which grow up to 12 cm per year, constantly urge them to gnaw, thereby damaging electrical wires and plumbing, which increases the risks of fire and water damage.
Mice often travel through plumbing, and you can find their droppings under the kitchen sink, near the bathroom sink, or around the hot water tank. They also hide in attic insulation. If you hear noises at night, it is likely that the colony has grown. It's time to call our professional extermination services. Our personalized approach, our satisfaction guarantee, and our proven methods leave no chance for mice and voles.
The presence of rodents in your home should not be taken lightly. Delayed intervention will often result in more damage and a larger infestation that may be even more difficult to eliminate.
