Mice & Rat Control Services
It comes as little surprise to people living in Metro Vancouver area - mice and rats they are virtually everywhere as they are commonly spotted scooting across city streets, climbing up trees, and even hopping up on cars. It is a completely different story when these four-legged creatures find their way into your home.
Mice and rats can reproduce quickly and breeding occurs throughout the year. They are carriers of disease, and can contaminate you and your pet's food.
When they get into your house, they can do substantial damage to the property as they can chew up insulation and wiring, creating fire hazards that can be very expensive to repair. They can cause significant damage by gnawing on paintings, books, mattresses and other material which may be irreplaceable.
