1. What types of rodents are common in Calgary and Alberta?
Common rodents include house mice, deer mice, voles, rats, and occasionally squirrels or chipmunks. Each species has slightly different behaviors and habitats, but all can become a nuisance indoors and outdoors.
2. How do I know if I have a rodent problem indoors?
Look for droppings, gnawed furniture, chewed wires, nests made of fabric or paper, and scratching or scurrying sounds in walls or ceilings. Foul odors in hidden areas can also indicate a rodent presence.
3. How can I tell if rodents are outdoors on my property?
Signs include burrows near sheds, gardens, or under decks, damaged bird feeders, runways through grass, and gnawed vegetation or garden plants. Voles often leave noticeable trails through lawns and flower beds.
4. Are deer mice dangerous?
Yes. Deer mice can carry Hantavirus, a serious disease that can be transmitted through droppings, urine, or nesting materials. Always use caution and contact professionals for safe removal.
5. How do voles damage yards and gardens?
Voles feed on roots, bulbs, and grass, creating small surface tunnels or shallow runways. They can kill flowers, shrubs, and even young trees, making them a common problem in Alberta gardens.
6. Why do rodents come indoors in Calgary and Alberta?
Rodents seek warmth, food, and shelter, especially during cold months. House mice and deer mice often enter through small cracks, doors, vents, and gaps around windows.
7. How can I prevent rodents indoors?
Seal entry points with steel wool, caulking, or weatherstripping.
Store food in airtight containers and clean crumbs immediately.
Reduce clutter in basements, attics, and garages.
Keep garbage tightly sealed.
8. How can I prevent rodents outdoors?
Keep lawns and gardens well-maintained, removing tall grass or debris.
Store firewood and compost away from structures.
Remove birdseed and pet food left outside.
Consider professional bait stations in high-rodent areas.
9. Can I trap or bait rodents myself?
Yes, for small infestations. However, deer mice, voles, and rats require special safety precautions, especially when using poisons or traps outdoors. Professionals like Pest Pro Exterminator ensure safe and effective removal.
10. When should I call a professional rodent control service?
If you notice persistent droppings, gnawing damage, nests, or rodent sightings, contact a licensed pest control company. Professionals can identify the species, safely remove them, and implement preventive measures.
