Our North York Rodent-Control Process

1. Inspect

We identify active areas, harbourage, food sources and potential access points.

2. Identify the Rodent

Mouse and rat identification affects equipment, placement and monitoring.

3. Treat the Active Population

Depending on the property, treatment may include:

• Professional traps
• Baiting
• Tamper-resistant stations
• Monitoring equipment
• Strategic placement around active travel routes

4. Assess Entry Points

We inspect accessible areas where rodents may be entering the building.

5. Monitor Activity

Follow-up allows us to determine whether activity is declining and adjust the programme if required.

Rodent Problems in North York Houses

North York contains a substantial mix of detached homes, bungalows, semi-detached properties and older residential buildings.

Potential rodent entry areas include:

• Foundation gaps
• Utility penetrations (basement sewer holes)
• Garage doors
• Pipe openings
• Exterior vents
• Additions
• Roofline gaps

Basements and attached garages deserve particular attention when mouse activity is reported.

Rodent Control for North York Condos & Apartments

Multi-unit buildings create additional challenges because mice may move through shared infrastructure.

Potential pathways include:

• Utility penetrations
• Wall voids
• Plumbing openings
• Garbage areas
• Service rooms
• Adjacent units

Recurring activity may therefore require building-management involvement rather than repeatedly treating one unit in isolation.

North York Rodent Control FAQs

How do I know whether I have mice or rats?

Dropping size, footprints, burrows, gnawing and sightings can help identify the rodent. Rats are substantially larger and usually require different equipment. Read more about the difference between rats and mice at https://www.guardmorepests.com/pest-news/whats-the-difference-rat-vs-mouse

How many visits will I need?

That depends on the infestation, property and whether rodents can continue entering. Established activity often benefits from monitoring and follow-up.

Do you seal mouse entry holes?

Guard More can identify suspected entry points and discuss exclusion options. Treatment and exclusion should be coordinated appropriately.

Does seeing one mouse mean an infestation?

Not necessarily, but repeated sightings, fresh droppings or ongoing scratching indicate that further investigation is warranted.

Do you treat commercial properties?

Yes. Guard More provides commercial rodent control throughout North York.

What Our Rodent Customers Say

★★★★★ Sharon Lee

Gary is extremely thorough and cares a lot about family safety, qualities I very much appreciate when dealing with unwanted rodents. He provided service to us back in October and we are happy to report that after his initial visit to fortify the house and a second visit to check on and clear traps, we’ve been in the clear since late fall. Thank you so much Gary!

★★★★★ Hyder Jameel

I have rats start appearing in my backyard. I called Gary, and he came asap. He did an inspection to make sure my family was not in danger of any rats coming into the house. Fortunately, we had no holes or big enough cracks for it to fit through. He set up rodent bait stations around the house. Thank you, Gary!

★★★★★ costas mirza

We like to support local businesses when possible so we called Gary (Guard More) for help after a mouse sighting in our place.  He took his time and did a thorough inspection including outside the house and the basement, covered the dryer vent with mesh and filled and blocked a small hole in the basement as well as laying baits.  He has also offered to return to check on the baits in the coming weeks for no additional charge. His rate was very reasonable and to top it off Gary is a really nice guy.  Highly recommend.

★★★★★ Malinga Maddumage

We recently moved into our condo and found mouse droppings in the kitchen. We found a couple pest control companies on Homestars and lucky to catch Guard More Pest Control with availability yesterday. Gary came by within 2 hours (phew). He sent bait traps. We've already caught a mouse wow. Thanks Gary for the prevention advice!!
