First of all, you should know that all professionals do not offer the same prices and that these prices vary according to a list of criteria as follows:

1. The company itself:

   A company with experience in the field of mice extermination charges higher prices than a start-up company. Naturally, you're paying for a excellent quality because they are experts who take care of your household extermination needs in record time!

2. The mouse species:

   As you know, there are seven different mouse species in Quebec. Some mice require one method of extermination, while others can resist and require another. It all depends on the size of the mice, their rate of reproduction and their habits.

   Therefore, a mouse exterminator may require prior knowledge of the species in question, and will set his or her price according to the difficulty of getting rid of it.

3. The size of the infestation:

   This is a criterion of great importance. A mouse exterminator sets the price of his service according to the seriousness of the situation, that is to say the size of the infestation. If it is a single mouse, the professional is more likely to ask you for the lowest price for his service (which we will see later), if on the other hand it is an infestation by a whole group of mouse, the tariff will increase with how many and the type of treatments.

   Since Quebecers tend to try home remedies first before turning to a professional, infestations often become serious and therefore expensive to fix.

4. The mouse entrance gate:

   The cost of a mouse exterminator in Montreal also varies depending on the rodents' entry points! Let us recall that the job of an exterminator not only involves eliminating mice from your house but also closing their entry points to prevent access by other mice during the treatment period and to prevent future infestations.

   In some cases, the front door is a hole in the window that is easy to patch; but often it is a hole in the wall or in the pipes. These are places that are less easily accessible, and the effort required to reach them raises the price.

5. The characteristics of your home:

   If you have a big house and that there is lots of furniture and belongings, you guess that the mouse finds a thousand and one hiding places there! It is impossible for you to spot the places where these rodents hide, and it is not an easy task for the exterminator.

   Of course, the price of a mouse exterminator isn't the same between a minimalist decor studio and an old, stuffy home! The work in the second habitat is much more meticulous and takes more time, because a mouse can always hide in corners that escape our first reflexes. This is what justifies the high prices for this type of house.

6. The location of the mice:

   In the face of an invasion of mice, it is essential to specify where their nests are located: In the garden?  In the garage  In the attic  elsewhere?

   Clearly, the difficulty of finding the nest increases the price of mouse extermination, because a nest in the attic is easily spotted but it is much less so in the basement.

   Also, the place where the mice are can play a decisive role in the choice of the method of extermination.

7. Inspection fees:

   Most mouse exterminators visit your home for the purpose of doing an inspection which will normally result in an estimate of the total cost of the extermination service. Do not forget that the inspection costs are separate for certain professionals and included in the total price for others, feel free to ask!

   Ps: some young Quebec companies offer free consultations!

8. Guarantees:

   Generally, the services are offered at a total price which includes a guarantee of variable duration: 2 months, 4 months or 6 months.

   But some companies offer service without warranty. So please check what is included in the price of your mouse exterminator.

At the end of our article, you must have a clear idea of the criteria likely to influence the price of a mouse exterminator in Montreal. In Quebec, the margin between the lowest fares and the highest fares is not huge.

For first time inspection, the price is around $100 paid before the consultation, i.e. this price is independent of the aforementioned criteria.

If you want to know how much a mouse exterminator costs, consulting the expert is essential; if not, you can explain your situation in detail by telephone, and you will know the approximate price.

in short, for a 4 1/2 in Montreal, prices start at $200 and can go up to $500. There may be additional charges for repairs and closing entrance doors.

No matter the price you will pay, having recourse to an exterminator is the perfect solution to solve your problem, we encourage you to contact an experienced company!
