Mice Exterminator & Rodent Control in Edmonton

Expert Answers on Mice Control Edmonton and Rodent Control

The questions we get most from Edmonton homeowners, answered by the technicians who do the work.

What does mice control cost in Edmonton?

Mice and rodent control with All About Pests starts at $449 plus GST for the 30-Day Rodent Control program, or $649 plus GST for the 90-Day Rodent Elimination Protocol when the infestation is established, and you get the price before any work begins. Prices cover homes up to 3,000 square feet including an attached garage, and voles and squirrels are quoted separately. What moves the number is the size of the home, how established the mice are, and how much sealing the entry points needs, not the time of year. For homes that get mice every fall, year-round Home Shield protection starts at $80 per month and includes scheduled visits, so you are not paying for a fresh treatment each winter.

How do I know if I have mice in my Edmonton home?

Look for these, and if you find any two of them there is more than one mouse:

• Small, dark, rice-shaped droppings along baseboards, in cupboards, under the sink and in the garage
• Gnaw marks on food packaging, pet food bags and cardboard
• Scratching or scurrying in walls and ceilings at night
• Greasy rub marks along the bottom of walls and around openings
• Shredded insulation, paper or fabric where a nest is forming

In Edmonton the culprit is almost always mice, since Alberta is rat-free (see the question on mice versus rats below).

How quickly can you respond to a mice problem in Edmonton?

Fast. Mice calls are the bulk of our fall and winter work, so we plan the schedule around them and can usually get to you within a day or two, often sooner when a spot opens up. Call (780) 306-7704 and we will give you the earliest time we can be there. During peak season, October through February, it helps to call at the first sign, before the mice have settled in for the winter.

Are the rodent control methods you use safe for my family and pets?

Yes. We prioritize the safety of your family, pets and the environment in every rodent job. Our technicians place traps and monitoring stations where children and pets cannot reach them, and when bait is necessary it is secured in tamper-resistant, locked stations. You get clear instructions on anything to watch for during treatment, and if you would prefer a trap-only approach in a particular area of the home, tell us when you book and we will plan around it.

How do mice get into Edmonton homes?

A mouse only needs a gap the width of a dime. The common entry points in Edmonton homes are gaps around utility lines and dryer or furnace vents, foundation cracks that open with our freeze-thaw cycles, worn garage door seals, the seam where siding meets the concrete, unscreened roof vents and chimney openings, and the space under an exterior door. Our inspection maps the entry points specific to your property, and sealing them is part of the job, not an add-on.

Why are mice problems worse in Edmonton during winter?

Edmonton's cold drives mice indoors. Once nights fall below about 10 degrees, outdoor food gets scarce and a warm house with a pantry becomes the best real estate in the neighbourhood. Freeze-thaw cycles make it worse by opening new cracks as foundations shift and settle, which is why fall prevention is the cheapest way to avoid a winter infestation.

How long does it take to get rid of a mice infestation?

It depends on how established the mice are and the layout of the home. Most residential infestations are under control within one to three weeks, with the last activity gone within about 30 days once the entry points are sealed. Larger or long-standing infestations can take longer. Your technician will give you a specific timeline after the inspection.

Do you provide a warranty on rodent control?

Yes. If rodents return after we have completed the full treatment, we come back to address it under our "We've Got You" Guarantee. The 30-Day Rodent Control program is covered for 30 days and the 90-Day Rodent Elimination Protocol for 90 days. The programs include light sealing of minor gaps; larger rodent proofing is quoted after the inspection. The details are published so you know exactly what is covered before you book.

Do I have mice or rats?

In Edmonton it is almost always mice. Alberta has been rat-free for more than 70 years thanks to the provincial rat control program, so the scratching in the wall, the droppings in the garage and the chewed bag of dog food are the work of house mice or deer mice, not rats. If you believe you have seen a rat, report it to Alberta's rat hotline at 310-RATS (7287), and call us for the mice.

Does Home Shield cover mice?

Yes. Home Shield Rodents is the entry plan, starting at $80 per month, and mice are what it is built for: monitored stations, scheduled visits through the year, ongoing sealing as new gaps appear, and follow-up visits during your service period covered under our guarantee. The Seasonal and Year Round plans add wasps, ants, spiders and other pests on top. Home Shield runs on a 12-month plan billed monthly, with a 5% discount if you prepay the year and no-charge callbacks for covered pests between scheduled visits. Details are on the Home Shield page, and our mice cost guide compares a one-time treatment with the plan.

What makes rodent control in Edmonton different from other cities?

Edmonton's climate, housing and growth pattern create their own challenges. Our winters push mice indoors harder than milder cities, the river valley and ravines are ideal mouse habitat, and new suburbs keep pushing into field mouse territory in St. Albert, Sherwood Park and the outer edges of the city. Our technicians are local, they see the same entry points in the same house styles every week, and they adjust the plan to the property rather than running a template.
