Our Proven 3-Step Calgary Rodent Elimination Process
We don’t believe in just setting and forgetting. Our strategy ensures pests are removed humanely and effectively. Our Rodent Control Process includes:
- Species Identification: We start with a comprehensive inspection to assess damage and identify the specific rodent.
- Strategic Trapping: We avoid sealing them in early, which can lead to rodents dying inside your walls and causing foul odors. We leave entry points open initially and use external baiting and internal trapping to draw them out.
- Complete Exclusion: Once the population is removed, we perform the final sealing process. We close every gap to ensure no future intruders can return.
What prevention methods are best to keep mice and rats from returning after extermination?
Rodents are masters of entry, squeezing through gaps as small as 1/4 inch. To prevent a re-infestation, follow these Calgary-specific tips:
- Secure the Pantry: Store all human and pet food in airtight, chew-proof containers.
- Manage Pet Meals: Don’t leave pet bowls out overnight; rats are highly attracted to kibble.
- Clean the Grill: Barbeque grease is a high-calorie feast for rodents; scrub your grill after every use.
- Eliminate Nesting Sites: Clear away old cardboard boxes, woodpiles, and landscaping debris near your foundation.
How can I tell the difference between Mice or Rat Infestation?
In Calgary, distinguishing between a mouse and a rat infestation often begins with observing the scale of the damage and the size of the evidence left behind. Mice are significantly smaller and more common in Alberta’s “Rat-Free” province; their droppings are roughly the size of a grain of rice with pointed ends, and they tend to leave tiny, nibbled holes in food packaging. Because mice are curious, they are often found nesting in kitchen cabinets or near heaters.
In contrast, a rat infestation—while rarer in Calgary due to strict provincial control programs—is much more destructive. Rats leave behind larger, Tic Tac-sized droppings and possess powerful teeth capable of gnawing through heavy plastic, wood, and even soft metals, leaving deep tooth grooves about 1/8 of an inch wide. Furthermore, rats are neophobic and cautious of new objects, whereas mice are bold foragers. If you notice greasy rub marks along baseboards or hear heavy scratching in the attic or crawl spaces, these are indicators of a larger rodent presence that requires immediate professional intervention.
