Accurate ID drives the right method: bait stations, snap traps, humane live trapping, or exclusion sealing.
Light grey-brown, large round ears, long thin tail. The mouse you're most likely to find inside a Winnipeg apartment or home — squeezes through 6 mm gaps and breeds year-round indoors.
Bicoloured — brown back with crisp white belly. Common in rural and edge-of-city properties. Carrier of hantavirus, so droppings must be wet-disinfected, never swept or vacuumed dry.
Stocky body, short tail, small ears. Lives in surface runways through grass and snow. Kills bulbs, grass crowns, and tree-trunk bark — common across Winnipeg yards through fall and winter.
Velvety dark body with paddle-shaped front feet. Not a true rodent — an insectivore that eats grubs and earthworms. Telltale sign: raised tunnels & conical molehills across yards and parks.
Brown-to-grey, thick body, blunt nose, short tail, small ears. Burrows around foundations and travels sewer systems. Chews electrical wiring and contaminates food with droppings — serious health and structural risk.
Slim body, tail longer than body, large ears, pointed nose. Climbs and prefers elevated spaces — attics, ceilings, roof voids. Less common in Winnipeg but arrives via shipments and transport.
Burrowing rodent with fur-lined cheek pouches. Brown body, small eyes/ears, large front teeth and powerful claws. Telltale sign: fan-shaped soil mounds across lawns. Damages roots, bulbs, and irrigation underground.
Large brown squirrel-family rodent. 8–12 inch (20–30 cm) wide burrow entrances near foundations. Eats gardens and vegetables; undermines patios, sidewalks, sheds. Often seen feeding above-ground in daylight.
If you're seeing any of these warning signs, grocery-store snap traps catch a small fraction of the population while the rest keep breeding and chewing through wiring. Call a licensed Winnipeg rodent exterminator before structural damage spreads.
Droppings — 3–8 mm (mice) or 15–20 mm (rats) near food or wallsLive mice or rats along baseboards, basements, or attic spacesGnaw marks on cardboard, wood, drywall, wiring, or food packagingFan-shaped soil mounds or large 8–12 inch burrow holes near foundationsScratching or scurrying from walls, attics, or basement ceilingsRaised lawn tunnels, molehills, or burrow entries beneath decks or shedsEvery Terra13 rodent treatment follows the same predictable sequence — free inspection first, affordable inspection-based quote, no surprises and no upsells.
Identify the species (mice vs rats vs voles vs gophers vs groundhogs), locate entry points, burrows, and runways, and grade activity. Different species need different traps, baits, exclusion, or humane live-trapping strategies.
Tamper-resistant bait stations and snap traps for mice and rats; above-ground traps for voles; scissor or harpoon traps for moles; in-tunnel traps for gophers; humane live cages for groundhogs.
Health Canada–approved rodenticides locked inside tamper-resistant stations — never loose, never exposed. All placements safe for kids, pets, and non-target wildlife.
Seal entry points (anything wider than 6 mm), advise on storage and moisture, schedule a follow-up at day 14. Free re-treatment within the warranty period if rodents return.

Winnipeg's long cold winters drive house mice, deer mice, and Norway rats indoors from October through April — into attached garages, basement walls, attic insulation, and any wall void warmer than outside. A 6 mm gap is enough for a mouse; a rat needs only the diameter of a quarter.
Outdoor species dominate yards from spring through fall — voles cut runways under thatch, pocket gophers leave fan-shaped mounds in lawns, moles raise molehills across gardens, and groundhogs dig 8–12 inch burrows under decks and sheds across River Heights, Charleswood, and the Red River corridor.
Rodent extermination kills the active population. These habits stop the next wave finding their way in — both indoor mice/rats pushing in for winter and outdoor gophers, voles, and groundhogs claiming your yard each spring.
Seal gaps 6 mm+ for mice or 12 mm+ for rats — both fit through shockingly small holes.
Store grains, pet food, and bird seed in sealed metal or hard-plastic bins.
Trim shrubs and grass to keep a 30 cm gap from the foundation.
Move firewood, mulch, and compost at least 2 m from the house (groundhog attractant).
Keep garbage in lidded bins; harvest garden produce promptly to deter groundhogs.
Inspect lawns weekly in spring for vole runways, gopher mounds, or new burrow entries.FAQ

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'll triage the species and risk before we arrive.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Free inspection, affordable inspection-based quote, and a satisfaction guarantee. Call our 24/7 line or send photos and we'll triage the species before we arrive.
