MICE WE TREAT

House Mouse & Deer Mouse Control

Part of our rodent control service. Seeing larger droppings or burrows? See rat control.

House mice

Indoor mice that stay in homes all year, nesting in wall voids, behind appliances and inside cupboards. They seldom travel far from a steady food source.

Deer mice

Native BC mice that live in forests and fields, including Surrey's Green Timbers. In fall they move into sheds, garages and cabins to nest and store seeds.

MOUSE OR YOUNG RAT?

How to Identify a Mouse

Two kinds of mice turn up in BC homes, and a young rat is easy to mistake for either.

Colour

House mice are grey-brown all over. Deer mice have white bellies and feet.

Tail

About as long as the body. A deer mouse tail is dark on top, pale below.

Head and feet

A young rat’s head and feet look oversized. A mouse looks in proportion.

Ears and eyes

Deer mice have big rounded ears and large, bulging black eyes.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR

Signs You Have Mice

Tiny droppings

Droppings about 6 mm long are the clearest sign of mice.

Chewed packaging

Nibbled cereal boxes and bags show mice are feeding in your pantry.

Shredded nesting

Torn paper, fabric or insulation means a nest is close by.

Sounds behind baseboards

Quick, light scratching behind cabinets means mice travel inside the walls.

Musty smell

A stale odour in cupboards builds up where mice nest and leave urine.

Tracks in dust

Tiny footprints on garage or shed shelves show the routes mice run.

WHY EARLY ACTION MATTERS

Why Mice Need Quick Action

A pair of mice in one cupboard can spread through the whole house within months.

Fast breeding

A female house mouse can have a new litter about every three weeks.

Contaminated food

Mice leave droppings and urine on counters, shelves and stored food.

Damaged insulation and wiring

Mice shred insulation for nests and chew the cables inside walls.
Tip: never sweep or vacuum mouse droppings. Wet them with disinfectant first so the dust stays down.

OUR MOUSE PROCESS

Our Mouse Removal Process

01

Inspect

We find where mice nest and every gap they use to get in.
02

Trap

Traps go along walls and behind appliances, where mice run.
03

Seal

When catches stop, we close every gap of 6 mm or more.
04

Check

A return visit makes sure no new mice are getting in.

SAFE, BC-COMPLIANT METHODS

Mouse Trapping & Mouse Proofing

BC restricts the strongest rodent poisons, and a poisoned mouse often dies inside a wall. We trap and seal instead.

Sealed trap boxes

Tamper-resistant boxes let mice in but keep small hands and paws out.

Mouse proofing

Pipe gaps, worn door sweeps and vents closed with chew-proof materials.

Safe clean-up advice

We explain how to clean droppings the way BC health guidance advises.

When to Call a Professional

One mouse in a trap may have been a lone visitor. Call us if you notice:
Mice keep arriving until their entry points are closed. We find those gaps and seal them for good.

Exceptional service by a local Canadian owned company. We called Exopest at 9pm on a Friday night and Manager Kashif Naseer picked up the phone! He was at our home in less than 24 hours. A significant mouse problem was irradiated 24 hours later. Kashif is a true professional: polite, proficient, he educated us, and he solved the problem for us. Could not be happier to recommend this company. Thank you Exopest!

Kashif just left. Bald faced Hornets nest hanging in our front yard tree is safely deactivated. Minor activity still but he said it should be dormant by tomorrow. Super responsive and really nice guy. I checked prices and he's extremely reasonably priced. Easily 5 stars. Would recommend and call again anytime for services if needed! Thanks Kashif and Exopest!

HELPFUL ANSWERS

Mice Control FAQs

Straight answers to what BC homeowners and businesses ask before booking mice control.

Is it a mouse or a rat?

Check the droppings and the animal’s proportions. Mouse droppings are about 6 mm long, and a mouse’s head and feet look small for its body. We confirm which rodent you have at the inspection.
House mice won’t. They stay indoors all year while there’s food and shelter. Deer mice may go back outside in spring, but they often return through the same gaps each fall.
Take extra care with deer mouse droppings, which can carry hantavirus, a rare but serious illness in BC. Air the space out for 30 minutes and wear gloves and an N95 mask. Soak the droppings in 1 part bleach to 9 parts water for 10 minutes, wipe up with paper towels and double-bag them. Never sweep or vacuum.
A mouse can squeeze through an opening about the size of a dime. That’s why we seal every gap of 6 mm or more around pipes, doors, vents and siding.
As the weather turns cold and wet, deer mice look for dry shelter to nest and store food. Sheds, garages and gaps by the foundation are usually their way in.
Catches usually slow within one to two weeks. Sealing the entry points is what stops new mice from replacing the ones we remove.
Yes. Every trap sits inside a tamper-resistant box, placed behind appliances and in spaces children and pets can’t reach.
It depends on the type of mouse, your property size, how widespread the activity is and the sealing needed. Call 604-760-1542 for a free quote.
