In Calgary, mice are among the most prevalent household pests, especially from October to April when lower temperatures force rodents inside for warmth, food, and refuge. Once inside, mice procreate rapidly. Theoretically, a single breeding couple can generate over 150 offspring in just six months, making it possible for a little issue to quickly grow into a significant infestation.
Why Are Mice Dangerous?
For homes, mice can pose major health and property threats. They often nibble on electrical wiring, damage building materials and insulation, and contaminate food preparation areas with bacteria, urine, and droppings. Since mice are nocturnal and like hiding places like crawl spaces, attics, and wall voids, infestations can go undiscovered until they are well established.
Common Signs of Mice in Your Home
You may have a mouse infestation if you notice:
- Small dark droppings along baseboards, in basements, pantries, or cabinets
- Gnaw marks on plastic, wood, wiring, or food packaging
- At night, there are scratching or scuttling noises coming from the ceiling and walls.
- Materials for nesting, including fabric, insulation, or shredded paper
- A persistent ammonia-like or musty smell in tight spaces
- Mouse activity in storage rooms, crawl spaces, garages, and attics
Why Mice Are Common in Calgary Homes
Calgary's long winters create ideal conditions for mouse activity indoors. As temperatures drop, mice enter homes through small openings around foundations, utility lines, garage doors, roof vents, and crawl spaces. Many homeowners are surprised to learn that mice can squeeze through openings as small as 6 mm.
Older homes, properties backing onto green spaces, and homes with attached garages are especially vulnerable to rodent infestations during the fall and winter months.
