Mice Removal in London, Ontario | Humane Exclusion & Mouse Proofing

Sealed for life, not treated for a season.

Most companies set traps, clear what’s inside, and offer you six months or a couple of years of coverage. Our approach to mouse removal in London, Ontario, works the other way around: we find every gap a mouse can use, seal it with materials they can’t chew through, and guarantee the work for life. Traps empty a building. Sealing keeps it empty.

One Mouse Is Never One Mouse

If you do see a mouse, it’s almost certain you haven’t seen all of them. Mice are nocturnal creatures that build nests in wall voids and insulation and breed indoors year-round. A female produces 5-10 litters per year, with 5-6 young per litter, and the young reach breeding age in about 6 weeks. Dozens of mice can grow from a few in a season.

Here’s what to look for:

  • Small, dark mouse droppings, such as rice, stored near food, under sinks, in drawers, and along baseboards
  • Scratching and scurrying in walls and ceilings, particularly at night when mice are more active
  • Shredded packaging, food boxes that have been chewed or gnawed, or wood, wiring, and insulation with gnaw marks.
  • Shredded paper, fabric, or insulation placed in quiet nesting spaces
  • A musty or stale odour from cupboards, basements or closed areas

 

One detail worth knowing: activity is often found in wall voids, basements, garages, and attics, even when you only ever see a mouse in one room. What you’re seeing is only a fraction of what’s there.

Mouse droppings and urine contaminate surfaces and food they touch, and Salmonella is the most common everyday risk. Hantavirus is mainly associated with deer mice rather than the house mice found in most London properties. Still, the safety advice is the same either way: don’t dry sweep or vacuum droppings, as that can push contaminated dust into the air. Ventilate the area and use proper protection, or let someone with the equipment handle it.

Sealing Is the Job. Everything Else Is Housekeeping.

Many companies will tell you they remove mice humanely. For mice, the word only means something if the work is permanent, and that comes down to precision rather than the product.

We don’t use poison, and we don’t use glue boards. Poison leaves mice to die inside wall cavities, and glue boards cause a slow death for the animal and offer no solution for you. Neither one closes a single gap.

We don’t treat and leave. Clearing mice from a building without sealing how they got in means you’re booking the same job again next autumn.

We seal, and we’re thorough about it. A mouse can fit through a hole the size of a dime, roughly one centimetre, and a young one needs even less. That means an inspection has to account for every gap, not just the obvious ones, which is why ours takes as long as it does and why we can guarantee it for life.

That’s what humane mouse removal in London, Ontario means here: the animals leave, nothing suffers inside your walls, and the building stops being available.

How Our Mouse Removal Works

The order matters. Sealing first, then clearing, makes the result permanent.

1. Detailed inspection

We work the entire exterior and interior, from the foundation to the roofline, identifying every active and potential entry point. This is the longest part of the job and the one everything else depends on.

2. Full exclusion seal

Every gap is closed with materials mice cannot gnaw through. Steel mesh, sealant, and hardware are used where needed, chosen for the specific opening rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

3. Interior clearing

With the building sealed, the mice already inside are removed. No poison, no glue boards.

4. Verification

We confirm that activity has stopped and the seal is holding before the job is closed out.

Every stage of our mouse removal in London, Ontario, is backed by a Lifetime Guarantee. If a mouse finds its way back through a point we sealed, we return and deal with it.

Why Traps and Bait Don't Solve It

Traps work. That’s the confusing part. You set them, you catch mice, and it feels like progress, so it’s worth being clear about what they actually do.

  • A trap removes a mouse. It doesn’t remove the doorway. The wider the gap, the more mice will enter. This is not a controversial opinion – pest control companies recognize that traps and baits can eliminate visible mouse activity but won’t solve the problem of entry.
  • The maths beats the traps. A family of six mice can grow to sixty in about three months. Catching a handful a week while the colony breeds behind the drywall isn’t a solution; it’s a treadmill with a monthly invoice.
  • And autumn resets it every year. Mice move indoors as temperatures drop and outdoor food becomes scarce. A building that was cleared but never sealed is just as accessible in October as it was the year before. Effective mouse control in London, Ontario is measured by what doesn’t come back, not by what was caught.

Where Mice Get In

Mice don’t chew their way into a building so much as find where it was already open. These are the points we check during every inspection, and the ones homeowners rarely notice.

Entry point

Why it gets missed

Foundation gaps and cracks

Below eye level, often hidden behind grading, mulch, or shrubs

Siding transitions

Wherever one material meets another, small gaps open up

Utility penetrations

Pipes, wiring, gas lines, and AC linesets are rarely sealed tightly

Garage door corners

The bottom corners are the first part of the seal to fail

Vents and weep holes

Screened against weather, not against a rodent that fits through a dime-sized hole

Worn door sweeps

A gap under an exterior door is an open invitation after dark

Proper mouse-proofing services in London, Ontario, mean working through everything, not just the opening where the droppings are.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the signs of a mouse infestation?

What are the signs of a mouse infestation?

By exclusion rather than extermination. We find and seal every entry point with materials mice can’t chew, then clear the ones already inside without poison or glue boards. It’s more humane because nothing dies in your walls, and it works better because the building stops being accessible.

There’s no flat rate. The mouse removal cost in London, Ontario depends on the size and age of the building, the number of entry points, and how accessible they are. An older property with a stone foundation is a different job from a newer build with two gaps. If you’re searching for “mice infestation removal near me,” ask what the inspection actually covers before you ask about price; that’s what determines whether they come back. We inspect and quote free, in writing, with no obligation.

Seal every opening larger than about a centimetre, and check the places people often overlook: foundation cracks, siding transitions, utility penetrations, garage door corners, vents, and worn door sweeps. Steel mesh and proper sealant hold; expanding foam and steel wool alone don’t.

More than their size suggests. Mice gnaw all day long, and chewed electrical wiring in walls and attics is a real fire hazard. They also chew through insulation for nesting material, thereby reducing its effectiveness, and contaminate surfaces and food storage with droppings and urine.

Permanently means every gap, not just most, is sealed with materials that can’t be chewed through and verified afterwards. That’s the difference between a treatment and an exclusion. It’s also why we back the work with a Lifetime Guarantee rather than a service window, and why, to get rid of mice in the house for good, the inspection matters more than anything that follows.
