Why is Rodent Control Important?
Rats and mice cause anxiety and sometimes even fear for many people, and for several important reasons.
Rodents are exceptionally resourceful critters, taking advantage of any opportunity to scurry through even the smallest crack or opening of your home. Once inside, they can cause serious harm to both you and your property.
Rodents create not only structural damage but also spread dangerous diseases. Plus, they also carry harmful bacteria that can contaminate food sources, putting you and your family’s health at risk.
If you’ve noticed any rodents in your home or business, give us a call. Solutions Pest Control has a host of tried-and-true methods to get rid of your mouse and rat problem.
What is Rodent Control?
What is Rodent Control?
Rodent Control is the prevention, management, and elimination of rodents (rat control and mouse control). The most common rodent control issues in Vancouver, North Shore, Whistler, Squamish, and Lower Mainland involve the House Mouse, Field Mouse, Roof Rat, Norway Rat, and Pack Rat (aka Furry Tailed Wood Rat).
Each of these rodents has unique characteristics that require different methods for proper eradication, including the use of traps, poison, and exclusion. We will eliminate your rodent issue and help you to prevent another one from occurring.

Top 5 Methods of Rat Control
Rat Removal
Rat Removal
- species,
- geography,
- diet,
- habitat and
- even weather are just a few.
The geography of a region can reflect the species you are dealing with and, in turn, the potential population over time. Even when we diagnose and approach the issue, the level of cooperation from the occupant can make a huge impact. Have the rat’s food sources been contained or removed (garbage,etc.)?
These reasons (and more) will dictate the best method to use when deciding how to get rid of rats in a home.
Rat Trapping
Rat Trapping
Solutions Pest Control does not use poison for inside rat control at any time.
When using the rat trapping method,
- the first step is a thorough inspection of the affected area.
- The next step is to set traps in optimum locations to ensure the safety of children and pets in the neighbourhood.
- We schedule follow up visits no later than every 2-3 days to inspect, empty and reset traps.
Since the rats are always in the traps, there is no guessing where they have died and associated smells. Trapping will continue until the rat activity has stopped. Then the traps are removed, and minor rat exclusion work is done to protect the home from further incursions.
Rat Exclusion
Rat Baiting
However, rat baiting is a very beneficial practice for exterior rat control. When using poison for outside rat control, the bait is placed into locked, secured, labelled stations that must meet specific provincial and federal safety requirements. The stations must be inspected and maintained as long as they are in place.
You will frequently see these black boxes around grocery stores, department stores, restaurants and apartment buildings to control the local rat population. Less outside rats mean fewer rats trying to get inside homes and businesses.
Rat Control Maintenance
Rat Control Maintenance
Prevention is the primary benefit of a regular rodent control program for your home or office. With Solutions Pest Control providing regular-scheduled rodent prevention visits, you never have to worry about having a rat infestation again.

Mouse Control Solutions
About Mouse Control
Have you ever gotten up in the morning, headed into the kitchen and discovered mouse droppings on the counter? Maybe you even saw the mouse itself while relaxing at night? Perhaps it’s just a chewed hole in the dog food or birdseed that is the first evidence of a mouse infestation.
No matter how the mice introduce themselves to you, it’s never a welcome sight. Mouse Control can take on many forms today; a search on the internet or a stroll through the local hardware stores looking for materials in the rodent control aisle can be overwhelming.
Mouse Control Solutions
At Solutions Pest Control, we prefer to offer an all-encompassing, long term solution for your mouse infestation that will last long after our certified mouse experts leave your home or business.
Successful Mouse Control Methods
Some of the mouse control methods include:
Mouse Identification
Mouse Identification
Identification is of particular importance when the only evidence provided is mouse droppings.
- A healthy, well-fed adult mouse dropping can easily be (and frequently are) identified as a rat dropping.
- Sometimes a mouse dropping can look similar to the larger American Cockroach dropping also (you would be surprised).
Proper identification of the mouse infestation is vital to deciding which is the best method to get rid of mice in your home or business. One of our trained mouse experts can inspect your premises and quickly identify your mouse.
Mouse Trap or Mouse Poison
Mouse Trap or Mouse Poison
Mouse Trapping is a relatively straight forward procedure that involves multiple visits in a short period of time. Traps are set up in inconspicuous areas, safe from children and pets. The traps are inspected, emptied and reset during each visit until the mouse traps are empty.
Mouse Poison involves the use of poison, deployed in pet/childproof bait boxes that are installed in similar inconspicuous safe areas where the mice are, and children and pets are not. Follow up visits are scheduled to make sure the infestations are entirely eradicated, then all poison or traps are removed. Most mouse infestations are gone in less than two weeks; however, this time frame may vary.
Mouse Exclusion
Mouse Exclusion
Let’s face it – if you can, keep them out permanently, doesn’t that make sense? Unfortunately, because mice are so small and their entry points on the outside of a house are little more than the size of your pinky fingertip, this may not be a ‘permanent’ exclusion.
Mouse Exclusion
Mouse Exclusion
Mice communicate through droppings, urine and other ways, telling their friends and family where to hide, feed, travel, etc…, all around the inside and outside of your house. Since you can’t possibly clean up all of these, why not make your home less vulnerable than it was the first time around.
Once we have completed our mouse extermination, we’ll provide some recommendations to help in this cause. Maybe it’s removing the bird feeder or not feeding the local squirrels. If you know why the mice choose your home in the first place, you will be better able to prevent it from happening again.
