Abitibi Extermination
Rodents
Rodents
Rodents such as mice and rats are not uncommon in buildings, but they can become a real problem if not disposed of quickly. Agile, intelligent, but also carriers of disease, they are as harmful to your furniture and plumbing as they are to you.
Mice
The mouse, cute for some and a real phobia for others, is particularly active at night. When there are several of them, it can quickly become invasive and cause significant damage, even leading to a fire. With 4 to 8 litters per year of approximately 12 young, the extermination of mice is not to be taken lightly.
