Toronto Rodent Control for Mice & Rats
Professional Mouse & Rat Control in Toronto
Hearing scratching inside a wall? Finding droppings under the kitchen sink? Seen a mouse run across the floor?
Guard More Pest Control provides professional rodent control in Toronto for mice and rat infestations in houses, condos, apartments, rental properties and commercial buildings.
Our approach isn't limited to putting down a few traps.
We inspect the property to establish what rodent you're dealing with, where activity is occurring and how rodents may be getting into the building.
Treatment can then combine professional trapping or baiting with structural exclusion of identified entry points.

Mouse & Rat Control in Toronto
Mice can get through remarkably small openings around foundations, utility penetrations, vents and other structural gaps.
Once inside, they can establish activity around:
- Kitchens
- Basements
- Attics
- Garages
- Wall voids
- Crawl spaces
- Storage areas
- Utility rooms
- Areas around food and waste
- Interior and exterior inspection
- Mouse and rat identification
- Entry-point identification
- Nesting and travel-route assessment
- Professional trapping
- Bait-station placement
- Rodenticide treatment where appropriate
- Structural exclusion
- Follow-up
- Monitoring
Guard More's current general rodent service explicitly uses this inspection → treatment → exclusion → monitoring model.
Signs of a Rodent Infestation
Rodent Droppings
Small dark droppings may appear inside cabinets, underneath sinks, along walls or near food-storage areas.
Scratching or Scurrying
Movement inside walls, ceilings and floors can become particularly noticeable at night.
Gnaw Marks
Mice and rats continually gnaw and may damage packaging, wood, plastics and other materials.
Nesting Material
Shredded paper, fabric and insulation can be used for nesting.
Grease or Smudge Marks
Repeated rodent movement along the same routes can leave visible marks.
Damaged Food Packaging
Chewed bags, boxes or containers are an obvious reason to investigate further.
Actual Mouse or Rat Sightings
Seeing a rodent confirms activity, but doesn't tell you the size or location of the wider infestation.
Rodent Control for Toronto Houses
Toronto houses can present rodents with multiple potential routes into the structure.
Guard More checks areas including:
- Foundations
- Utility penetrations
- Dryer and exhaust vents
- Doors
- Garage areas
- Rooflines
- Exterior gaps
- Basements
- Attics
Older properties, renovations, additions and utility work can all leave gaps worth investigating.
A mouse problem therefore isn't always a "kitchen problem" just because that's where the mouse was seen.
The kitchen may simply be where it is feeding.
Mice in Toronto Condos & Apartments
Rodent control in a multi-unit building can be different from treating a detached house.
Mice may travel through:
- Utility penetrations
- Pipe chases
- Wall voids
- Service areas
- Shared structural spaces
Guard More works with:
- Condo residents
- Tenants
- Landlords
- Property managers
- Building owners
If activity affects multiple units, tell us before the inspection.
The underlying issue may require investigation beyond a single kitchen or apartment.
Our Toronto Rodent Control Process
1. Inspection
We inspect inside and outside the property for:
- Rodent activity
- Entry points
- Nesting locations
- Travel routes
- Food sources
- Structural vulnerabilities
2. Identify Mice vs Rats
Mice and rats behave differently.
The species, activity level and property determine the treatment plan.
3. Trapping & Baiting
Depending on the situation, Guard More can deploy professional snap traps, bait stations and/or tamper-resistant rodenticide in appropriate locations.
4. Rodent Exclusion
This is the bit many DIY approaches miss.
Identified entry points can be secured using appropriate materials to prevent rodents simply replacing those removed.
Guard More's current service uses exclusion materials including hardware cloth, steel wool, caulk and suitable expanding foam as part of the sealing system.
5. Follow-Up & Monitoring
Guard More can return to inspect traps, remove rodents, replenish bait where appropriate and monitor activity. Please note that follow-up visits require a per visit fee.
Why Traps Alone Aren't Enough
A trap can catch a mouse.
It cannot repair a hole.
If rodents are entering through an accessible structural opening, trapping without exclusion can become a revolving door:
rodent enters → rodent gets caught → another rodent enters.
That's why we look at both active population control and structural access.
How Long Does Rodent Control Take?
Guard More's current programme indicates that active infestations commonly require 2–3 service visits over approximately 1–2 weeks, although the actual programme depends on infestation severity and the property.
Regular monitoring or bait servicing may be recommended where continuing rodent pressure exists.
