Mouse Activity Treatment in a Two-Unit Home in Guelph

Location: Guelph, Ontario
Structure: Two unit house
Problem: Mice
Service: Mouse treatment
Summary

Our team completed a single-visit mouse treatment at a two-unit residential property in Guelph after reports of live mice observed in both kitchens. Activity was confirmed in each unit, and a treatment was applied. No exclusion work or warranty follow-up visits were scheduled.

Background / Property Context

The property is a two-unit house with shared structural components. Both units contain kitchens located along exterior walls, increasing the likelihood of pest access where building penetrations are present.

Customer Concern

The occupants reported seeing live mice in the kitchens of both units and requested professional pest control service to address the activity.

Inspection & Findings

During the visit, active mouse signs were identified in both kitchens. The technician observed conditions consistent with rodent movement within the living spaces. Exterior wall vents were also noted as potential vulnerability points. Photos taken during the visit show wall vent areas referenced during the inspection.

Cause Analysis

Mouse activity was likely influenced by shared wall construction and accessible entry points common to multi-unit homes. Exterior wall vents can provide opportunities for rodents to enter when not adequately sealed. Kitchen areas also attract mice due to food availability and warmth.

Treatment / Removal

A mouse treatment was completed during the visit by a licensed exterminator in accordance with Ontario Ministry of the Environment guidelines. The treatment focused on addressing the active mouse presence identified in both units.

Exclusion & Repairs

Sealing of three exterior wall vents was discussed and quoted during the visit; however, no exclusion or repair work was carried out as part of this service.

Outcome & Confirmation

The treatment visit was completed as scheduled. No exclusion work or warranty follow-up visits were arranged. Activity levels beyond the initial service were not monitored due to the single-visit service structure.

Technician Notes

The service was completed by technician **Shaohua**, who confirmed mouse activity in both kitchens and documented exterior wall vents as potential entry points. Photos of the wall vent areas were taken for reference.
