Norway rats burrow at the foundation, roof rats travel the attic and eaves, and house mice need only a quarter-inch gap — knowing which one you have changes the entire treatment plan.
A technician walks the roofline, foundation, and utility penetrations to find every gap a rodent could be using, not just the obvious one.


Our Rodent Control crew is trained specifically on rat and mouse biology, not general pest spraying.
Rodent calls in Ottawa get prioritized scheduling since a small mouse problem can become a breeding population within weeks.
Pricing is quoted after inspection and covers both removal and the exclusion work needed to keep rodents from returning.
Our vehicles carry door sweeps, vent screening, and expanding sealant specifically for rodent exclusion work.
We trace grease trails along rafters and gable vents, which is where roof rat activity concentrates.
We inspect crawl spaces and foundation perimeters specifically for Norway rat burrow entrances.
Snap traps go along interior travel routes — usually baseboards and cabinet edges — where mouse activity is heaviest.
Trapping without sealing just invites the next rodent in — we close every identified gap with steel wool, hardware cloth, and sealant.
Commercial rodent accounts get recurring exterior station checks documented for compliance records.
After removal, we can address contaminated insulation and droppings left behind in the attic.

Call +1-866-315-0243 and describe what you're hearing — attic scratching versus pantry droppings changes our dispatch priority.
A technician arrives with snap traps, bait stations, and sealing materials already loaded for Ottawa rodent calls.
Inspection covers attic, foundation, and utility penetrations, with species ID driving trap placement.
Traps and stations go out the same visit, gaps get sealed, and a follow-up confirms activity has stopped for good.
Mice were getting into the pantry no matter how much steel wool I stuffed in myself. Turns out the real gap was behind the dryer vent.
Our warehouse had rodent activity near the loading dock and Nex Pest Control set up a monitored station program with logs for our next audit.
We'd tried every trap from the hardware store with no luck. The tech explained these were roof rats, not mice, and that changed everything about where traps went.

Nex Pest Control dispatches rodent-specialized technicians throughout Ottawa and nearby communities, with trapping and exclusion gear stocked on every vehicle.

Mouse droppings are small and rod-shaped; rat droppings are noticeably larger, and the entry gap size differs too — mice fit through a quarter-inch, rats need closer to a half-dollar.
Yes, exclusion is the permanent fix; trapping alone without sealing usually means new activity within a few weeks.
Yes — station placement is planned around pets and kids, and we'll walk you through exactly where everything goes.
Most Ottawa cases clear within one to two weeks once entry points are sealed, confirmed at a scheduled follow-up visit.
We can document damage for your records and offer attic sanitation as an add-on service after removal is confirmed.
Yes, commercial accounts get scheduled exterior station checks with service logs for health and safety audits.
