These seemingly small and cute rodents, if left uncontrolled, can damage your property and pose serious health risks.
Fear Not! Bugs Heat Terminator, Specialists in Mice Removal, is here to the rescue. Let’s explore the available effective methods for eliminating these pesky creatures from your properties and learn when to seek professional help with us.
Mice are an important part of the urban ecosystem, though often considered a pest. The most common mouse species in Toronto is the house mouse. These intelligent, adaptable rodents can be found in a wide variety of environments across the city.
Scientific name: Mus musculus
Description: Small rodent with slender body and long tail.
Behavior: Nocturnal, excellent climber. Squeezes into buildings through tiny openings.
Reproduction: 20-day gestation, litters of 5–6 young, up to 10 litters per year.
Risks: Transmits diseases, droppings can trigger asthma.
Signs of infestation: Droppings, gnaw marks, sightings.
Recognizing the signs of a Mouse Infestation is necessary before considering professional help. Although these rodents are experts at staying hidden, the following are some common indicators that you may have a mouse problem:
One of the clear signs of a mouse infestation is discovering small, dark, and pellet-shaped droppings in your storage areas or living spaces. You will find the highest number of droppings where the rodents are nesting or feeding.
Look for gnaw marks on furniture, baseboards, and other household items, as these creatures have a relentless urge to chew on various materials. Newly found marks are lighter in colour and could be an indication of a continuing infestation. These marks can also indicate whether you have rats or mice; larger teeth of rats create larger gnaw marks.
Mice are primarily nocturnal creatures, which means they are active at night. You might hear scratching or scampering sounds in your walls or ceilings at night.
Rodents use materials such as shredded paper, fabric, or dried plant matter to construct their nests. Look for droppings, scraps, or dirt marks. These could be clues that the nest is nearby. Mice can also be pests that nest in gutters or live in garages, so be sure to check for the same signs there, too.
One adult mouse can consume between 3 and 4 grams of food in a day. They have many favorite foods in common with humans, like cereals, grains, seeds, nuts, fruits, seeds, chocolate, and candy. Compost heaps, whether outdoors or in your kitchen, attract mice as well. When these invaders raid your pantry, they leave behind contaminated food, strange holes, and chew marks. This contaminated food can cause serious illnesses, including Salmonella and Hantavirus.
A strong, distinctive, ammonia-like smell indicates the presence of a large mouse population. This smell results from the urine and feces of the rodents. In some areas where mice urinate frequently, you may find urine pillars as well. Finding a dead mouse, or God Forbid, seeing a live one along with the mentioned indicators is a sure sign that you have a mouse problem.

The cost of hiring a professional mouse exterminator in Toronto depends on the following primary factors:
The Extent of Infestation: The size of the infestation determines the overall cost of the procedure. A small, localized problem will likely cost less to address than an infestation that has invaded every corner of the property.
Necessary Treatment Methods: Some treatments are more expensive than others, so the overall cost can vary depending on the exact strategy your technician recommends.
Property Size: The area or size of your house or property also impacts the overall cost. Larger properties need more time for inspection and locating the nesting areas and entry points for the treatment.
Location of Infestation in your house: The extermination cost increases if the infestation is located in a hard-to-reach area with minimal accessibility, such as inside your drywall, in your crawl spaces, or in your attic. This will take longer to seal entry points, set traps, and clean up feces and messes from the nests.
On average, the cost for professional mouse extermination in Toronto can be from $100 to $300, depending on the factors mentioned above. Whatever the situation is, with Bugs Heat Terminator, you will always get a competitive price for the specific needs of your property.
