- Noises from walls and ceilings at night;
- Friction and vibration of piping at night;
- Discovery of damage in the morning;
- Etc.

The mouse has a litter of an average of 6 mice, with a gestation of 20 days!
At this rate, a female mouse can have nearly 50 young per year, which in turn multiply from the age of 6 weeks!
Mice make 40 to 100 droppings a day!
Mice can go through very small holes. The size of a simple 10-cent coin is enough to allow them to settle in your property. That’s why we offer caulking services to block entry points.
Indeed, when we carry out our work against mice, we will caulk the junction between the brick and the soffit, install a mesh in the weeping songs. We make sure that your ventilation hatches are equipped with a screen and a damper, as well as install custom-bent aluminum moldings in the bottom of the exterior cladding. Caulking is the most effective long-term way to exterminate mice from your home permanently.

A mouse infestation can cause significant damage to your home. An untreated mouse problem can cost you dearly in property and property damage. In addition to the risk of damage that gnawing can cause to your home’s infrastructure, there are risks related to the short circuits that can be caused by gnawing on the electrical wires of electronic devices.
These risks can be the failure of your appliances or even a fire in your home. In addition to the dangers of damage to your property, a gray mouse infestation can be very harmful to humans and pets.
Small rodents can sneak all over your home and infect food that you, your family, and your pets could potentially consume. Disease transmission includes salmonellosis, leptospirosis, and hanta virus.

Frequently Asked Questions: Mouse
How do I know if I have mice in my home on the South Shore?
Typical signs of a mouse infestation are small, black, rice-grain-shaped droppings along walls, scratching noises in partitions or ceilings at night, gnawed food wrappers, and a smell of musky urine in cupboards. Grease marks are often noticed along baseboards, as the mouse runs along the walls. If you observe these signs in Longueuil or Boucherville, a professional inspection can confirm the extent and points of entry.
Why do mice enter Montérégie mainly in the fall?
As soon as the nights get cooler, the mice look for warmth and food inside the buildings, which makes fall the peak period for infestations in Montérégie. A mouse squeezes through a pencil-sized opening (about 6 mm), especially around pipes, foundations, and garage doors. This is why prevention and sealing of accesses are more effective when they are done before extreme cold.
What risks do mice pose to my health and my home?
Mice contaminate food and surfaces with their urine and feces, which can transmit salmonella and other pathogens, in addition to aggravating allergies and asthma. They are constantly gnawing to wear down their incisors, attacking the electrical wire, which creates a real risk of fire and breakage. A small population multiplies quickly, hence the importance of acting quickly.
How is a mouse extermination procedure performed at Nova?
Our technician first conducts a complete inspection to locate nests, trails and entry points, then installs safe bait stations and traps in strategic locations. We then seal the openings to prevent any re-intrusion and schedule a follow-up to validate the result. Our products are approved and the intervention is adapted to the presence of children or animals.
How much does a mouse extermination cost on the South Shore?
The price is based on an evaluation, depending on the extent of the infestation, the area to be treated, the number of entry points to be sealed and the type of building. A single-family residence with the beginning of an infestation does not require the same work as an apartment building with a recurring problem. We will give you a clear estimate after the inspection of the premises.
Do you offer a warranty on mouse treatment?
We aim for sustainable results assessed on a case-by-case basis, as each building presents different challenges in terms of access and the environment. When we combine the removal and sealing of openings, the control is usually very strong and we follow up. We explain honestly what can be eliminated and what should instead be managed preventively.
