Mice are one of the most common household pests in Surrey and the Lower Mainland — and one of the most damaging. A single mouse can squeeze through a gap as small as 6mm, and once inside, a small problem becomes an infestation fast. If you’ve found droppings, chewed wires, or heard scratching in the walls, Top Line Pest Control is the trusted mice exterminator Surrey homeowners call, offering same-day mice control in Surrey, Langley, Abbotsford, and across BC. Call (604) 551-6504 for a free quote.
Signs you have a mouse infestation in your Surrey home
- Droppings — small, dark pellets near food sources, under sinks, or along walls
- Chewing damage — gnawed food packaging, wires, insulation, or drywall
- Scratching sounds — especially at night, inside walls or ceilings
- Nesting material — shredded paper, fabric, or insulation in hidden corners
- Grease marks — dark smear marks along walls and baseboards where mice travel
- Unusual pet behaviour — cats or dogs pawing at walls or showing heightened interest in certain areas
If you spot even one of these signs, act immediately. Mice breed rapidly — a single pair can produce over 60 offspring in a year.
How Top Line removes mice from your home
Our mice control program follows a proven three-step process used across Surrey, Langley, Newton, Fleetwood, and Cloverdale:
- Inspection. We thoroughly inspect your home to locate entry points, identify nesting sites, and assess the scale of the infestation. Mice commonly enter through gaps around pipes, utility lines, roof vents, and foundation cracks.
- Trapping & treatment. We place snap traps and tamper-resistant bait stations in targeted locations — no guesswork, no broadcast rodenticide use. All methods comply with BC’s integrated pest management regulations.
- Entry point exclusion. We seal the gaps and holes mice are using to enter. This is the step most homeowners skip — and why infestations keep coming back. Without exclusion, trapping alone is a revolving door.
We also offer a follow-up visit to check traps, confirm activity has stopped, and make any additional exclusion repairs needed.
Why mice are a serious problem — not just a nuisance
Mice cause more damage than most homeowners expect. Beyond the obvious chewing, here’s why fast treatment matters:
- Fire risk. Mice gnaw on electrical wiring. Frayed wiring in walls and attics is a leading cause of house fires.
- Contamination. Mouse droppings and urine contaminate food prep surfaces, pantry items, and insulation. They carry Hantavirus, Salmonella, and Leptospirosis.
- Structural damage. Mice shred insulation for nesting, damage vapour barriers, and compromise ductwork.
- Rapid reproduction. A female mouse can have a new litter every three weeks. Waiting a month to act can turn a minor problem into a major infestation.

Mice vs rats — how to tell the difference
It matters because the treatment is different. Here’s a quick comparison:
| Mice | Rats | |
|---|---|---|
| Size | 7–10 cm body | 20–25 cm body |
| Droppings | Small, pointed (6mm) | Larger, blunt (12–18mm) |
| Ears | Large relative to head | Small relative to head |
| Behaviour | Curious, frequent explorer | Cautious, neophobic |
| Entry point size | 6mm gap | 20mm gap |
If you’re not sure which rodent you’re dealing with, we’ll identify it during the inspection. We also handle rat control across the Lower Mainland.

Frequently asked questions — mice control in Surrey BC
How much does mice control cost in Surrey BC?
A typical mice control program in Surrey costs $250–$450 depending on home size and infestation severity. This covers inspection, trapping, and entry point exclusion. We give you an exact price before any work begins — no surprise charges.
How long does it take to get rid of mice?
Most residential mouse infestations are resolved in 2–3 visits over 2–3 weeks. The initial treatment catches active mice, and the follow-up confirms the exclusion work has held and no new activity is present.
Do I need to leave my home during mice treatment?
No — our trapping-based mice control program requires no evacuation and is safe for children and pets. If bait stations are used in hard-to-access locations, we use tamper-resistant boxes and will advise you of any precautions.
Will mice come back after treatment?
Not if exclusion work is done properly. The most common reason mice return is unsealed entry points. Our program includes identifying and sealing entry points as part of the service — this is what sets professional treatment apart from DIY trapping.
Can I use DIY mouse traps instead?
Why Mice Are Common in BC’s Lower Mainland
The Lower Mainland’s mild winters, food sources, and dense residential areas create ideal conditions for mouse populations. Urban and suburban homes offer shelter, while nearby farms and storage facilities provide food sources. Mice breed rapidly—producing multiple litters per year—so what starts as a single mouse can become a full infestation within weeks. Early detection and treatment are critical.
Our Mice Control Treatment Process
Inspection & Assessment: We thoroughly inspect your home to identify entry points, nesting areas, and signs of activity. Understanding the extent of the infestation helps us design an effective treatment plan.
Strategic Baiting & Trapping: We use snap traps and bait stations strategically placed along walls and in high-activity areas. Our approach targets active mice while minimizing risks to pets and children.
Exclusion & Sealing: After eliminating existing mice, we seal gaps and cracks throughout your home—around pipes, vents, windows, and foundation cracks. Mice can squeeze through openings as small as a dime, so thorough sealing is essential.
Prevention & Long-Term Protection
Prevention is key to avoiding future infestations. Store food in airtight containers, keep kitchens clean of crumbs and spills, remove clutter where mice can hide, and trim vegetation away from your home’s exterior. Regular inspections catch early signs of activity before they become major problems.

Snap traps from a hardware store can catch individual mice, but they won’t solve the underlying problem — the entry points that let them in. If you’re catching mice regularly but the problem keeps returning, it means more are getting in than you’re catching. A professional inspection will find where they’re entering and seal it permanently. Our mice control Surrey program follows the same integrated pest management principles set out in the Province of British Columbia’s official guidance on managing rat and mouse pests, prioritizing trapping and exclusion over broadcast rodenticide use.
