Cambridge Rodent Control and Mice Removal Services
Mice and rats in Cambridge homes often go unnoticed until they’ve made a mess of things. Scratching in the walls, chewed wires, and droppings under the sink are just a few early indicators. As they breed and spread, so does the damage. These pests are quick to move into attics, garages, and basements when the weather gets colder.
Ontario Wildlife Removal Inc. delivers professional rodent removal throughout Cambridge. From older properties in Preston and Galt to newer developments in Hespeler, we know where rodents get in – and how to keep them out.
Signs of Rodent Activity
Don’t wait until there’s visible damage. Common indicators include:
- Black droppings near food or along baseboards
- Rustling sounds in walls at night
- Gnawed cardboard, plastic, or electrical wiring
- Musky odours in hidden areas
- Shredded nesting materials behind appliances or in basements
A single mouse often means a larger population is hiding nearby.
Why Humane Removal Is the Smarter Option
Store-bought traps and rodent poisons may provide temporary relief, but they rarely solve the problem at its source. These approaches tend to address only the visible rodents, not the hidden colonies or entry points they’ve used. When rodents die inside your walls, they leave behind foul odours, unsanitary conditions, and expensive cleanups. More importantly, without blocking off the paths they used to enter, new rodents are likely to return.

Rodents in Cambridge Homes: Why It Happens
Cambridge’s geography and architecture provide an inviting environment for rodents. Historic homes in Galt and Preston often have aging brickwork, crawlspaces, and structural gaps that offer mice easy ways inside. In Hespeler, newer homes may be built tighter, but unfinished basements, garage door gaps, and vent openings still leave them vulnerable – especially during the colder months.
Rodents are highly adaptive and gravitate toward areas that provide easy food and shelter. Outdoor pet bowls, compost piles, bird feeders, and even open garbage bins are common attractants. The nearby Grand River and extensive trail systems add to the dampness and natural cover that support rodent activity year-round. Once inside, these pests quickly settle into insulation, behind appliances, or anywhere quiet and undisturbed.
