The Complete Guide to Mice Extermination in Montreal & Surrounding Areas

What Every Homeowner Needs to Know About These Unwanted Intruders

So, What Are Mice Exactly?

Mice are small rodents that frequently invade homes and businesses throughout Montreal, Laval, the South Shore, and surrounding areas — especially during colder months. While they may seem harmless at first glance, mice can pose serious threats to health, safety, and property.

The most common species in Quebec is the house mouse. These rodents are small (6–10 cm long), grey to brown in color, with long tails and large ears. They’re nocturnal, fast breeders, and extremely good at hiding in walls, basements, and attics.

Mouse Biology & Behavior

Mice reproduce quickly, making infestations hard to contain once they begin. Their life cycle includes:

• Babies (pups): Born in litters of 4–12, helpless and hairless.

• Juveniles: Begin exploring and eating solid food within 2–3 weeks.

• Adults: Ready to breed in as little as 6 weeks.

One female can produce over 100 offspring in a year, creating an infestation in a matter of weeks.

Where Mice Hide in Your Home

Mice look for shelter, warmth, and easy access to food and water. Common hiding and nesting spots include:

• Inside walls and insulation

• Behind appliances or in kitchen cupboards

• In attics, crawl spaces, and basements

• Inside garages and sheds

• Beneath floorboards or storage boxes

Mice can enter through openings as small as a dime, making sealing entry points critical.

Why Mice Are a Serious Problem

🐭 Health Risks: Mice carry bacteria, parasites, and viruses — including Salmonella and Hantavirus — contaminating food and surfaces with their droppings and urine.

🪵 Property Damage: They chew wires (fire hazard), insulation, drywall, and personal belongings to build nests.

📦 Rapid Infestation: With short breeding cycles, a few mice can turn into dozens very quickly.

🧃 Contamination: Their presence near food storage and prep areas can result in costly waste and health violations.

Signs of a Mouse Infestation

Watch for these warning signs around your home or business:

• Droppings (small, dark pellets) near food, cabinets, or baseboards

• Gnaw marks on food packaging, wood, or wires

• Scratching sounds in walls or ceilings, especially at night

• Nests made from shredded paper, fabric, or insulation

• A musty or ammonia-like odor in closed-off areas
