Seeing a rodent is a clear warning, but mice and rats often leave other evidence first. Arrange an inspection if you notice these common signs.
Droppings in cupboards or storage areas
Scratching inside walls and ceilings
Gnaw marks on packaging, wood or wiring
Shredded nesting materials
Greasy marks along travel routes
Burrows near foundations or gardens
Unusual odours in enclosed spaces
Pets focused on a wall or appliance
Damaged insulation or belongings
Food containers that appear disturbed
Correct identification matters
Complete Rat and Mouse Control
Mice and rats have different behaviours, nesting preferences and travel routes. EnviroGreen considers the species, evidence, property type and conditions supporting the infestation.
M
Mouse Control and Removal
Mice can use small gaps around foundations, doors, rooflines, pipes and vents. They commonly hide in kitchens, walls, attics, crawlspaces, garages and storage rooms.
Service may include inspection, strategically positioned control measures, monitoring and accessible entry-point recommendations.
Rats may travel at ground level, burrow outside or move along trees, fences, rooflines and utility routes. Activity is common around waste, food service, sheds and loading areas.
We assess droppings, gnawing, rub marks, burrows and likely travel patterns before recommending a plan.
Effective rodent management involves more than placing traps. Our process addresses current activity and the conditions that may allow rodents to return.
Activity Assessment
We document what was observed, where the evidence appeared and how long it has been present.
Detailed Inspection
We examine relevant accessible areas for droppings, gnawing, nesting, travel marks and openings.
Rodent Identification
Evidence helps distinguish mice, roof rats and Norway rats and guide control placement.
Customized Plan
The recommended approach reflects the species, activity, building and occupants.
Entry-Point Exclusion
Accessible openings may be addressed or documented for repair where included in service.
Monitoring & Follow-Up
Follow-up helps determine whether activity is decreasing and measures are working.
Prevention Guidance
Recommendations may address food, waste, vegetation, moisture, clutter and maintenance.
Long-term protection
Rodent Exclusion and Entry-Point Sealing
Rodent exclusion addresses openings that mice and rats may use to enter a building. It can be an important part of long-term control because trapping alone does not stop new rodents from entering.
Possible access areas include gaps around pipes, damaged vents, openings beneath doors, foundation deficiencies, roofline gaps and garage-door openings.
Exclusion should be coordinated with the control plan. Sealing without understanding current activity may trap rodents inside or push them toward another route.
Rodent control for detached houses, townhomes, condos, suites, rental properties, garages, sheds and storage areas.
Service planning considers children, pets, allergies and other occupant concerns.
S
Strata & Multi-Unit Buildings
Mice and rats may move through shared walls, utility routes, parkades, storage rooms and common areas.
We can assist residents, landlords, strata councils and property managers with coordinated assessment and monitoring.
C
Commercial Facilities
Service for restaurants, retail stores, warehouses, offices, strata buildings, rental properties and light-industrial facilities.
Programs may include inspections, monitoring, targeted service, prevention recommendations and scheduled visits.
Integrated pest management
Eco-Conscious Rodent Management
EnviroGreen prioritizes targeted practices and practical prevention. The recommended strategy reflects the infestation, building and people or animals using the space.
01
Identify
Confirm the rodent species and map signs, nesting areas and travel routes.
02
Control
Use targeted traps, monitoring devices and appropriate control measures.
03
Exclude
Identify accessible gaps and coordinate suitable repair or sealing work.
04
Prevent
Improve food storage, waste handling, vegetation, clutter and maintenance.
Practical prevention
How to Help Prevent Mice and Rats
Property maintenance and sanitation can make a building less attractive and accessible to rodents.
Store Food Securely
Keep pantry goods, pet food, birdseed and animal feed in durable containers with secure lids.
Manage Waste
Keep garbage and compost closed, clean waste areas and avoid leaving loose food outside.
Reduce Shelter
Remove clutter and stacked materials beside the building and trim dense vegetation.
Inspect the Exterior
Check doors, vents, foundations, siding, rooflines and utility openings for damage.
Address Moisture
Repair leaks and reduce standing water that can support rodents and other pests.
Monitor Storage Areas
Regularly inspect garages, sheds, crawlspaces, attics and rarely used rooms.

Helpful answers
Rodent-Control FAQs
How much does rodent control cost?
Cost depends on the species, property, activity level, required visits and exclusion needs. Contact EnviroGreen with information about the evidence you found.
How do I know whether I have mice or rats?
Dropping size, gnaw marks, noises, travel routes and entry conditions can help. A professional inspection is recommended when the species is uncertain.
Can mice and rats damage a building?
Rodents may gnaw wood, plastic, insulation, food packaging and wiring. They can contaminate stored materials and nest in concealed spaces.
Are rodent-control measures safe around pets?
The plan should account for children, pets and occupants. Tell the technician about pets and follow all placement and safety instructions.
How many visits will I need?
This depends on the infestation, building and strategy. Established activity may require multiple visits and continued monitoring.
Should every entry point be sealed immediately?
Exclusion should be coordinated with control. Sealing without understanding activity may trap rodents inside or cause them to use another route.
Do you provide rodent control for strata buildings?
Yes. We assist residents, landlords, strata councils and property managers. Multi-unit activity may require coordinated inspection and monitoring.
