Is it really necessary to call a mouse exterminator?

Mice in Quebec are never lacking and house infestations by mice are not uncommon. Indeed, the incidence of these infestations is not zero during the year, and it increases particularly in the cold season.

In the face of this, the reactions of Quebecers differ: some choose to handle the problem themselves while others prefer to resort to professional mouse extermination .

We discuss in this article the real interest of the mouse exterminator: can we do without it? When and why to call him?

The problem with mice:

Before questioning the role of the mouse exterminator, we would like to remind you of the reasons why a mouse infestation causes us so much trouble.

  • A mouse in the house does not go unnoticed:

If the mice were discreet, we could have tolerated them. But this is not the case! Mice mark their territory well with their foul smell, their droppings, their sounds which are exacerbated in the evening and also their bite marks everywhere because they are omnivores.

All this is not a problem for you and the extermination of mice does not seem urgent to you? Keep reading…

  • Mice can make you sick:

Mice do not occupy your home without affecting your physical health. Remember that there is de facto a list of Infectious diseases that mice transmit to humans; Salmonellosis, Leptospirosis and especially hantavirus infections specific to the deer mouse are mentioned.

The contamination is done in an indirect way: by the urine or the saliva mice, or directly: by bites. Which reminds you that mice bite too!

  • Mice damage your home:

Still not convinced of the need to call in a mouse exterminator? If you leave one or even several mice hanging around your house, prepare to find your damaged furniture, your pipes that no longer work and even your walls with holes!

The mouse exterminator profession

Il faut savoir que les services d’extermination de souris existent au Québec et partout dans le monde depuis des décennies. De nouvelles entreprises se créent toujours car le problème d’infestation de souris nécessite de plus en plus de strategic and innovative methods.

A mouse exterminator is a certified professional who specializes in hygiene and environment. And as a pest control technician, he's qualified to handle your mouse problem with pro techniques not available to the public!

Here is how a mouse extermination business works:

  • Visiting your home:

The mouse exterminator comes to inspect your home and measure the size of the infestation. At the end, he gives you an exact estimate of the costs of his service, the number of treatment and control sessions in addition to information on the guarantee.

Note that the price of the visit is independent of the service, it is around 100$ and can be free when the company is young!

  •  Mouse Exterminator Methods:

To eliminate the mice, the professional will take care of know the infective species because they are not all sensitive to the same methods, and identify their location in the House.

Then, he will set up his methods which can include mouse paste or spring traps in strategic places with, of course, a effective rodenticide that his certification allows him to use.

Ps: Many rodenticides are not available to the general public for environmental and health reasons.

The mouse extermination service also includes removing their front doors, however difficult that may be.

About the cost of a mouse extermination service

It is impossible to say the exact costs of this service. The company decides on a case-by-case basis as not all infestations are created equal and require the same effort.

Keep these criteria influencing the cost of the service:

  • The size of your house.
  • The number and size of your furniture.
  • The size of the infestation.
  • The Infesting Mouse Species.
  • The difficulty of locating and closing the entrance doors.
  • The quality of service of the mouse extermination company.

However, it is estimated that an infestation in a 4 and a half room apartment in Montreal requires between $200 and $500.
