Humane mouse control in Calgary
Short answer
Humane mouse control starts with sealing: close the gaps and the stream of new mice stops. Mice already inside are handled with methods chosen for your home and explained first. Rodenticide is used indoors only when essential.
Typical mouse work: $100–$1,500 depending on severity, after inspection, GST extra.
Why sealing is the humane step
Removing mice without closing the gap means removing the next ones too. Once the entry points are closed, the job shrinks to the few mice already inside. Calgary’s Chinook swings can take a wall through several freeze-thaw cycles in one winter, and each cycle works sealant and trim joints loose.
How we work
- Ask about pets, kids and anyone vulnerable in the home.
- Find and name every entry point.
- Close each joint with mesh, sealant or metal screens.
- Handle mice already inside with the method agreed with you. Rodenticide is used indoors only when essential, and we tell you first.
What you can do today
- ☐ Store food, pet food and seed in sealed containers.
- ☐ Do the daylight test on exterior doors.
- ☐ Note where you see droppings, without sweeping them dry.
- ☐ Keep the garage door closed in the evening.
Guarantee
The Gap Guarantee covers re-entry through a specific joint we closed and documented, during the first freeze-thaw season after the visit. It is not a whole-house seal.

Questions
Can mice be controlled humanely in Calgary?
Yes, in most homes. The humane part is mostly prevention: closing the gaps so mice stop coming in. Mice already inside are handled with methods chosen for your home and explained before anything is placed.
Do you use poison?
Rodenticide is used indoors only when essential, for example a heavy infestation that other methods cannot bring under control. If it is needed, we tell you first and explain where it goes and why.
Why does sealing matter so much?
Every mouse removed from a house with an open gap is replaced by the next one. Closing the gap is what ends the cycle. A house mouse fits through about 6 mm.
Is this the same as your pet-safe page?
They overlap. The pet-safe page is about keeping pets and kids safe; this page is about the method. Both start with sealing.
What does it cost?
Mouse work is typically $100–$1,500 depending on severity, after inspection, GST extra.
