City Wildlife Control
We do not handle domestic pets such as dogs or cats. Our services are strictly for wildlife control.

Rodents are more than just a nuisance; they are a persistent threat to the health and safety of your home. In Southern Ontario, from the lakeside properties of Oakville and Burlington to the rural landscapes of Brantford and Beamsville, mice and rats are constantly seeking entry into residential and commercial buildings. Unlike a typical exterminator who relies on temporary poison, City Wildlife Control focuses on Rodent Exclusion—a permanent solution that keeps mice and rats out for good.

We serve homeowners across the Golden Horseshoe, providing expert rodent control in Hamilton, Burlington, St. Catherine's, Oakville, Brantford, Beamsville, and Niagara. If you’ve heard scratching in your walls or found droppings in your pantry, it’s time for a professional intervention.

Signs of a Rodent Infestation

Mice and rats are secretive and mostly active at night. Homeowners in Hamilton, Burlington, St. Catherine's, Oakville, Brantford, Beamsville, and Niagara should look for these tell-tale signs:

  • Droppings: Small, dark pellets found in cupboards, under sinks, or along baseboards.
  • Gnaw Marks: Rodents must chew to keep their teeth down. Look for damage on food packaging, wooden baseboards, or electrical wires.
  • Scratching Noises: Sounds of running or "scuffling" inside walls, ceilings, or crawlspaces after dark.
  • Nesting Material: Shredded paper, insulation, or fabric tucked away in quiet corners of the attic or basement.
  • Pet Behaviour: Dogs and cats often sniff or paw at walls where rodents are active.

Why "Poison-Only"  Methods Fail

Many homeowners in Hamilton, Burlington, St. Catherine's, Oakville, Brantford, Beamsville, and Niagara turn to hardware-store traps or traditional pest control companies that only use bait stations. Here is why that rarely solves the problem:

The "Dead in the Wall" Problem: Poison doesn't kill instantly. Rodents often retreat deep into your walls or ceilings to die, leading to horrific odours and fly infestations that can last for weeks.

The Endless Cycle: If you don't seal the holes, new mice will simply follow the pheromone trails of the old ones. You end up paying for a monthly service that never actually ends the infestation.

Safety Risks: Poison baits can be a danger to curious pets and small children.

Rodents
What you should know

Rodents in southern ontario

Here are the main problems you may encounter when dealing with a rodent

Nest

Rodent Nesting

Living underneath concrete slabs, such as sheds, decks, front steps, crawlspaces, attics and more.

Cage

Damage to property

Cause damage to attics and roofs, chew through wires, damage wooden joists, create holes and other damage

Snack

They steal snacks and make pets uneasy

Steal food or anything lying around, alarm cats and other pets with their presence.

Fleas

Carrying some unexpected friends

Carry fleas, ticks and other parasites, leading to even more diseases, and spread diseases, including rabies, to humans and pets

Dog digging for food

Digging for food

Although mice are not big on digging due to their size, they can easily fit into many places, such as BBQs, sheds, households, garages, etc., potentially carrying diseases.

 Group of animals

Can become more than just one

Mice can very quick reproduce and in high numbers, so addressing the issue before it becomes a problem is key.

Our Comprehensive Rodent Exclusion Process

At City Wildlife Control, we treat your home as a fortress. Our goal is to find every possible entry point and seal it with chew-proof materials.

1

The "Foundation to Roof" Inspection

Mice can fit through a hole the size of a dime, and rats only need a gap the size of a quarter. We inspect your home, whether it is in Hamilton, Burlington, St. Catherine's, Oakville, Brantford, Beamsville, or Niagara, for common entry points, including:

  • Weep Holes: The vertical gaps in brickwork.
  • Utility Lines: Where AC lines, gas pipes, or wires enter the siding.
  • Garage Door Seals: Worn-out weather stripping is a highway for rats.
  • Roof Intersections: Where different rooflines meet, leaving small gaps.
2

Professional Trapping and Removal

Once the exterior is sealed, we strategically place traps inside to remove any rodents currently trapped within the home. Because the house is now "tight," we can quickly clear the remaining population.

3

Total Home Proofing (The Permanent Fix)

We use high-grade materials that rodents cannot chew through, such as:

  • Stainless Steel Mesh: To block vents and weep holes.
  • Industrial Sealants: To close gaps around pipes and wires.
  • Metal Flashing: To reinforce corners and wooden fascia boards.
4

Sanitization and Decontamination

Rodent urine and droppings carry pathogens like Hantavirus and Salmonella. We offer specialized cleanup services for attics and crawlspaces in the Niagara Region, using HEPA vacuums and hospital-grade disinfectants to ensure your air quality is safe.

Serving the Entire Golden Horseshoe & Niagara Region

City Wildlife Control understands the unique rodent pressures in every local neighbourhood:

FAQs

Can mice really climb straight up a brick wall?

Yes! Mice and rats are excellent climbers. They can scale brick, siding, and even downspouts to find an entry point near your roofline.

Are the materials you use for sealing ugly?

Not at all. We take pride in our "Aesthetic Exclusion." Most of our work is discreetly tucked behind siding or colored to match your home’s exterior.

How long does mouse-proofing last?

Our galvanized steel and professional sealants are designed to last for the life of your home. Unlike foam or wood, rodents cannot chew through our steel reinforcements.
