Rodents don't just raid the pantry — they chew wiring, contaminate surfaces, and squeeze in through gaps the size of a coin. Terra13's rodent control service, from Terra13 Pest Control, handles mice, rats, voles, moles, gophers, and groundhogs across Winnipeg with tamper-resistant baiting, trapping, and the entry-point exclusion that keeps them from coming back.
Manitoba's cold winters push mice and rats indoors, and once they're inside a warm wall or attic they breed quickly and leave contaminated droppings and urine behind. Outdoor rodents — voles, moles, gophers, and groundhogs — damage lawns, gardens, and foundations.
Baiting and trapping deal with the animals that are already there, but on their own they're only half the job. If the gaps rodents use to get in stay open, a fresh population simply replaces the one you removed — which is why exclusion is built into the plan.
The Rodents We Handle in Winnipeg
Indoor and outdoor rodents call for very different work:
- Mice — the most common indoor rodent; they nest in walls, attics, and appliances and spread through shared utilities in apartments.
- Rats — larger and more destructive, entering from exterior gaps, sewers, and burrows.
- Voles & moles — damage lawns and gardens with runways and tunnels.
- Gophers & groundhogs — burrowing rodents handled with outdoor treatment and, for groundhogs, monitored live-trapping.
Baiting, Trapping, and Exclusion
Indoors, Health Canada–approved rodenticides are locked inside tamper-resistant bait stations, and snap traps are placed inside protective stations or where your family can't reach — so pets and children can't access the bait. Groundhog work uses monitored live-trapping over several visits.
Then comes the part that lasts: sealing the gaps around foundations, pipes, vents, rooflines, and utility penetrations that rodents use to get in. In apartment buildings, Terra13 inspects the building footprint at no extra cost and recommends baiting neighbouring units, since mice travel through wall voids and shared plumbing.

Secure Baiting & Trapping
Rodenticides locked in tamper-resistant stations; traps placed out of reach.
Entry-Point Exclusion
Gaps around foundations, pipes, vents, and rooflines sealed so rodents can't return.
Outdoor & Burrow Work

Rodent Control FAQ
How much does rodent extermination cost in Winnipeg?
Pricing is affordable and based on inspection findings, pest activity, access, and treatment scope. We confirm the recommendation before work begins.
Can you come for an emergency rodent infestation?
Yes. Terra13 runs a 24/7 emergency line for active rodent infestations across Winnipeg - same-day baiting is available for most addresses inside the perimeter. Call +1 204-881-5849 and we will triage the species and risk before we arrive.
How long does rodent treatment take?
A standard mouse baiting visit takes 15-30 minutes per apartment. Rat exclusion and baiting takes 45-90 minutes per home. Vole/mole/gopher outdoor work runs 30-60 minutes per visit. Groundhog live-trapping typically requires 2-5 visits over 7-14 days.
Is the treatment safe for kids and pets?
Yes. All Health Canada-approved rodenticides are locked inside tamper-resistant bait stations - pets and children can't access the bait inside. Snap traps are placed inside protective stations or in areas your family can't reach.
Do I need to leave my home during treatment?
No. Rodent baiting and trapping don't require evacuation. You can stay in the unit while we work. We'll show you where every station is placed and ask you not to touch them.
What if the rodents come back?
Free re-treatment within the warranty period - typically 90 days for residential mouse jobs, 60 days for vole/mole treatments, and ongoing replenishment for commercial programs. If fresh droppings or activity appear, call us back at no cost.
Can you treat just one apartment unit?
We can treat a single unit, but for mice in apartment buildings we strongly recommend baiting neighbouring units too - they travel through wall voids, plumbing chases and shared utilities. We'll inspect the building footprint at no extra cost and coordinate with the landlord.
