  • Droppings — Mouse droppings are small (3–6mm) and dark, while rat droppings are larger (12–20mm), blunt-ended, and dark brown. These are often found along baseboards, inside cupboards, under sinks, and near food storage areas.
  • Gnaw Marks — Fresh gnaw marks are pale and rough-edged, whereas older marks are darker and smooth. Look for damage to wiring, pipes, joists, and even softer masonry, as rats tend to gnaw harder materials than mice.
  • Burrow Holes — Rat burrows usually have smooth-edged entrances about 6–9cm in diameter, often appearing along foundations, under concrete slabs, or in garden beds near buildings.
  • Grease Trails & Smear Marks — Oily, dark smear marks along walls and baseboards indicate repeated rodent movement along well-established runways.
  • Sounds — Listen for scratching, scurrying, or gnawing sounds inside walls, ceilings, or under floors. Mice tend to produce lighter, faster sounds, while rats create heavier, more deliberate noises.
  • Nesting Material — Check for shredded paper, fabric, insulation, and other soft materials gathered in hidden areas such as behind appliances, inside wall voids, or in attic insulation.
  • Ammonia Odor — A strong, sharp smell caused by accumulated rodent urine is a tell-tale sign, particularly in enclosed spaces like cupboards, basements, and wall cavities.

Rodent Control Pre-Prep Checklist

  • Before our technician arrives, note every location where you’ve observed droppings, gnaw marks, grease trails, or unusual sounds such as scratching in walls or ceilings. Marking these spots helps our team zero in on active runways and nesting zones quickly.
  • Store all dry goods, pet food, and birdseed in sturdy airtight containers made of glass or heavy plastic. Clear countertops of fruit, bread, and open snacks. Rodents can detect food through packaging, so even sealed cardboard boxes should be relocated to hard-sided bins.
  • Make sure all indoor and outdoor waste receptacles have tight-fitting lids. Take garbage bags to outdoor bins the evening before service. If you compost, ensure the unit is fully enclosed and positioned away from the building’s foundation.
  • Clear boxes, stacked newspapers, and unused items from basements, garages, attics, and closets. Rodents nest in undisturbed clutter. Elevate stored belongings at least 18 inches off the floor on shelving to reduce potential harbourage sites.
  • Pull refrigerators, stoves, washing machines, and large furniture at least 12 inches from the wall. Our technician needs unobstructed access to baseboards, pipe entry points, and the gaps behind appliances where rodents commonly travel.
  • If you notice obvious cracks or openings around pipes, vents, or door frames, stuff them loosely with steel wool as a temporary measure. Our technician will perform a professional exclusion, but pre-blocking large gaps prevents new rodents from entering before the appointment.
  • Cut back tree branches, ivy, and shrubs that touch or overhang the exterior of your building. Remove leaf piles, woodpiles, and ground debris from around the foundation. Overgrown vegetation acts as a highway and shelter for rodents approaching your property.
  • Repair dripping taps, leaky pipes, and any areas of standing water indoors or outdoors. Rodents require a daily water source, and eliminating excess moisture makes your property far less hospitable. Pay special attention to basements, crawl spaces, and under-sink areas.
  • Remove pet food and water bowls from the floor. Cover aquariums tightly and switch off filtration systems before treatment begins. Arrange for all pets to be kept in a safe, untreated room or away from the premises during the service visit.
  • All household members and animals should stay out of treated areas for at least a few hours following our technician’s visit. Exact re-entry timing will be confirmed on-site based on the products applied. Keep windows cracked for ventilation where possible upon return.

The service was provided on time.Ahmed was professional and courteous. He explained everything patiently, answered all our questions, inspected the house inside and outside to check for possible entry points for rodents. Sealed gaps, set traps and was done within one hour with a promise to come back within 5 weeks if the signs for rodents show up again.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Why do I have rodents in my home or business?

Rodents are attracted to food, warmth, and shelter. Unsealed food sources, cluttered areas, and open entry points could invite them in.

Mice, rats (Norway rats and roof rats), and squirrels are among the most common rodents in Toronto.

Yes. Rodents carry diseases like hantavirus, leptospirosis, and salmonella, which can be transmitted to humans through droppings, urine, or bites.

Rodents can squeeze through small gaps, cracks, or openings around doors, windows, vents, and utility pipes.

Hiring a professional pest control service ensures safe and effective rodent removal and long-term prevention.

Rodenticides can be toxic to pets, children, and non-target wildlife if not used properly.

Mice are smaller, leave small droppings, and usually infest higher areas, while rats are larger, leave larger droppings, and prefer ground floors or basements.
