Extermination of field mice on the North Shore
At a glance: In Quebec, the “field mouse” is actually a vole : a small rodent that digs galleries in the lawn, gnaws on the bark of shrubs and tries to enter the house in the fall. It is controlled by removing its shelters, protecting the garden and sealing the entrances to the house. In the event of a persistent invasion, an exterminator solves the problem.
