Commercial Rodent Control

Commercial Rodent Control For Your Business

Rodents, such as rats and mice, can be a menace to any commercial property. From causing millions of dollars in damages to equipment and structures, fire hazard to potential health and safety risks associated with rats and mice droppings. The worst part is that no commercial facility is immune to a potential rodent takeover, making the importance of a professional rodent control program vital to the operations of your facility.

How Orkin Canada Helps Control The Rodent Issue On Your Commercial Property

Orkin Canada offers a variety of commercial rodent control solutions that are both effective, safe and humane. These rodent control solutions use a combination of non-chemical methods, exclusion and habitat modification strategies to get the job done, with the use of rodenticides only as a last resort and only if needed.

In an effort to provide low-impact solutions, Orkin Canada also offers a variety of rodenticide free options. Contact your local Orkin Canada branch for more information.

Exclusion and Rodent Proofing Services

Rats and mice can sneak into the tiniest of spaces, exposing your facility to a potential rodent infestation. Orkin Canada’s exclusion services will inspect  for any vulnerable rodent pressures points  on your commercial property, such as gaps in doors seals and voids within the building foundation/walls or entry-points that may provide easy access for rodents. Exclusion efforts are a critical part of any Integrated Rodent Management solution and will ensure your building is protected against rodents.

Habitat Modification

One of the best ways to keep rodents away from your business is to ensure they don’t come inside in the first place. Your local commercial Orkin Rodent Control Pro  will accomplish this through habitat modification. The prevention process will help create pest-proofing measures such as reducing food sources, eliminating available water, eliminating harbourage spots and making the habitat unwelcoming for rodents.

Remote Rodent Monitoring Services

Modern rodent control solutions require more than traditional tools. That is why Orkin Canada uses advanced rodent monitoring systems that provide continuous oversight of your facility. Through Orkin Canada’s Insite portal, you gain 24/7 monitoring of your site. This allows you to gain visibility on rodent hotspots, trends, and other reporting necessary for audit compliance.

Trapping Services

Orkin Canada’s mandate is to use the most ecological friendly strategies to control and manage rodents, one of which is the use of mechanical trapping services that can include:

Snap Traps

These devices allow for the control of mice and rats without the use of any liquid treatments and are both eco-friendly and effective. Snap traps are the oldest form of rodent trap. Because of the size and simple construction of these traps, your local commercial Orkin Rodent Control Pro may use many snap traps in high rodent activity areas. They will ensure to keep traps out of sight in order to avoid alarming customers and staff.

Multi-Catch Live Trapping

Multi-catch live traps use a rodent’s natural tendency to investigate and wiggle into holes. In these traps, the rodents can get in but cannot get out. This is often through a mechanism triggered by touch. When the rodent goes into the trap, the mechanism is triggered, closing the door and trapping the rat inside. Once captured, the rodents can be humanely released.

Use Of Bait Stations

Exterior Bait Stations

As primary line of defense, bait stations on the exterior of your facility provide an easy way to effectively control outdoor rodent population. Using an anchored tamper resistant locked unit, treated bait is spiked in placed inside to attract the rodents.

Frequently Asked Questions About Commercial Rodent Control

Why is rodent control important for commercial properties?

Rodents like rats and mice pose serious risks to commercial properties. They chew through wiring, damage insulation and infrastructure, contaminate food and surfaces, and spread diseases. Commercial rodent control is essential for protecting your business from health code violations, product loss, fire hazards, and reputational damage.

What are common signs of a rodent infestation?

Common signs include:

• Droppings near food, equipment, or baseboards
• Gnaw marks on packaging or electrical wires
• Scratching or scurrying sounds in walls or ceilings
• Nesting materials like shredded paper or fabric
• Unusual pet behavior or musty odors

If you see any of these indicators, contact a professional for immediate rodent inspection and control.

How do rodents get into commercial buildings?

Rodents can enter through small gaps, cracks in foundations, open doors, roof vents, drainage pipes, and utility lines. Mice can squeeze through openings as small as a dime. Our commercial rodent control services include detailed inspections to identify and seal these entry points.

What industries are most at risk for rodent problems?

Industries with high exposure include:

• Food processing and distribution
• Warehousing and logistics
• Restaurants and foodservice
• Healthcare and long-term care
• Hospitality and hotels
• Grocery stores and retail

Rodents are attracted to food sources, warmth, and shelter, making these environments especially vulnerable.

What rodent control methods do you use?

Orkin Canada uses an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach, which includes:

• Monitoring and identification of rodent activity
• Strategic placement of traps and bait stations
• Sanitation and waste management guidance
• Exclusion and sealing of entry points
• Regular inspections and service reports

Our rodent control is discreet, science-based, and tailored to your property’s layout and pressure level.

Are rodent control treatments safe for employees and customers?

Yes. All our commercial rodent control products and methods are safe when professionally applied. We place traps and baits in tamper-resistant stations and follow strict safety protocols to protect your staff, customers, and environment.

How much does commercial rodent control cost?

Costs depend on the size of your facility, the severity of the infestation, and the frequency of service. Orkin Canada offers customized rodent management plans and transparent pricing following a free consultation.

Can I handle rodent control on my own?

DIY efforts often fall short for commercial settings. Rodents are intelligent, reproduce quickly, and adapt to changes. Professional rodent pest control provides the expertise, tools, and long-term strategy needed to fully eliminate and prevent infestations.

How can I prevent rodents from returning?

Rodent prevention requires a combination of:

• Regular inspections
• Prompt repair of structural vulnerabilities
• Proper waste and food storage
• Employee training on signs of rodent activity
• Ongoing monitoring by a licensed pest control provider

Orkin Canada offers comprehensive prevention services as part of every rodent control program.
