Before contacting a pest control company
Health Canada describes rodent control as a combination of preventing access to buildings, reducing food sources and control measures. Asking how entry points will be addressed is therefore useful when comparing quotes.
Source: Health Canada — Mice and rats
Information to prepare
- Note the affected rooms, how often you notice activity and the type of building.
- Explain whether the issue affects one home, several units or a business.
- Ask whether inspecting and sealing exterior entry points is included or requires separate work.
Questions to compare quotes
- How will you identify mice versus rats and assess the extent of the problem?
- Does the price include inspection, treatment, equipment, follow-up visits and taxes?
- How will you check that activity has stopped, and what are the conditions for a return visit?
