Rodent Identification & Control – Mice & Rats in Quebec
Overview
Rodents like mice and rats are common invaders in Quebec homes, cottages, and commercial spaces—especially during colder months. These pests can contaminate food, damage property, and spread serious diseases. Extech Pest Control specializes in discreet, effective rodent removal and long-term exclusion strategies.
Common Rodents in Quebec
| Species | Size & Appearance | Behavior | Risks |
|---|---|---|---|
| House Mouse | 6–9 cm; small, dusty gray with large ears | Active year-round; nests in walls, pantries, basements | Contaminates food, chews wires and insulation |
| Norway Rat | 20–25 cm; brown with blunt nose and short tail | Burrows under buildings; enters through sewers | Damages foundations; spreads disease via droppings |
| Roof Rat | 16–20 cm; black or dark brown with long tail | Excellent climber; nests in attics or rafters | Spreads pathogens; causes structural damage |
Signs of a Rodent Infestation

- Gnaw marks on food packaging, wood, or wires
- Noises in walls or ceilings at night (scratching or scurrying)
- Grease marks or smudges along baseboards or beams
- Nests made of shredded paper or fabric in hidden areas
Prevention Tips
- Seal gaps and cracks in foundations, siding, and around pipes
- Keep food sealed in containers and clean crumbs promptly
- Trim tree branches and store firewood away from buildings
- Install door sweeps and repair window screens
- Keep garbage bins tightly sealed and emptied regularly
Why Choose Professional Rodent Control
DIY traps often miss the root of the problem. Mice and rats are smart, cautious, and multiply quickly. At Extech, our technicians inspect entry points, place tamper-proof bait stations, and provide exclusion services to prevent reinfestation—safely and discreetly.

Rodent FAQ
What’s the difference between a mouse and a rat?
Mice are smaller with thin tails and large ears; rats are larger, more aggressive, and leave bigger droppings.
Can rodents make you sick?
Yes. They spread diseases like hantavirus, salmonella, and leptospirosis through droppings, urine, and contact.
How do I know where they’re getting in?
Look for gaps near pipes, vents, or foundation cracks. Our technicians can identify and seal these points during an inspection.
