How AstraHive Pest Control gets rid of mice in Nobleton
- Inspection. We check the foundation, penetrations, doors, roofline and interior for entry points and travel routes.
- Exterior sealing. Entry points are closed from the outside with steel wool or copper mesh locked in with sealant or foam, and hardware cloth for large gaps. We never seal interior gaps. Weep holes and vents get breathable mesh only (steel wool, copper mesh or excluder mesh), never sealant, foam or mortar, because the hollow wall needs them to release moisture and warm air.
- Interior trapping. We trap the mice inside, with tamper-resistant bait stations where bait is needed.
- Follow-up. We return to check traps and seals.
Products are Health Canada approved and applied according to the product label, and our technicians are licensed by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP). Our mouse work is backed by a 90-day warranty.

One of the most persistent misconceptions is that mice only travel along floors. The same pathway described above applies here: entry point → wall → insulation → wood framing → upper wall/ceiling space → attic. Why Mice Keep Coming Back Every Year (It's Rarely the Same Mouse)
A golf-ball-sized glob of peanut butter looks generous, but it lets a mouse nibble from the edges without ever putting enough pressure on the trigger pan to fire the trap. Rule of thumb: if you can still see bare metal trigger pan under the bait, you've used too much. Why Your Mouse Traps Aren't Working: Victor Snap Trap Placement Mistakes (Ontario Guide)

The first line of defence against mice is eliminating easy entry points, since mice can squeeze through cracks as small as a dime. Interior gaps like baseboards or attic hatches aren't entry points at all, they're just travel routes a mouse uses once it's already inside, and sealing them only pushes the mouse to find another route through your walls without solving anything.

Mouse droppings, urine, saliva and nesting material can carry pathogens including Salmonella, Leptospira, LCMV, and hantavirus.
