Red Deer is ringed by cropland and cut by treed ravines, and every autumn a lot of mice lose their food and cover at roughly the same time. Garages, basements and wall voids are the next best option for them.
We remove the mice already inside and, just as importantly, find and close the gaps they're using so the next wave can't follow.
Rodents in and around Red Deer
Because Alberta's rat control program keeps the province rat-free, the rodents we deal with in Red Deer are almost always mice: house mice indoors and deer mice, which are common in rural-edge areas, outbuildings and garages. Deer mice can carry hantavirus, so cleanup needs care.
Properties backing onto fields, ravines or the river valley — and homes with detached garages or sheds — typically see the most fall activity.
Signs of a mouse problem
- Droppings in cupboards, drawers, garages or storage areas
- Scratching in walls or ceilings, especially at night
- Chewed food boxes, bags of pet food or bird seed
- Shredded insulation, paper or fabric nests
- Small holes or rub marks along walls and baseboards
- Mice spotted in the garage, vehicle or outbuildings

Full inspection
Inside and out, including garages and attached structures, to find activity and entry points.

We monitor results and service stations until activity has stopped.
What to expect after treatment

Rodent Control in Red Deer: FAQs
Are there rats in Red Deer?
Alberta is considered rat-free thanks to its provincial rat control program, so rodent problems in Red Deer are nearly always mice. Suspected rats should be reported to 310-FARM.
When should I mouse-proof my home?
Late summer is ideal — before harvest and the first cold nights push mice indoors.
Can you deal with mice in a garage or shop?
Yes. Garages and outbuildings are some of the most common places we treat, and they're often where mice enter the house.
