Saskatchewan Rodent Control
Protecting the equipment you work with
and the toys you've earned
The Saskatchewan Problem
When equipment sits — through harvest, through winter, through a long summer stretch — mice move in. They chew wiring looms, nest in cabs, and work through insulation. The damage often doesn't show up until you're in the field when you can least afford it.
The same goes for stored RVs, boats, and quads. Park them for the season and you come back to nests in the engine bay, chewed upholstery, and electrical damage that can write off a vehicle entirely.
And it's not just the damage. Mouse urine and droppings leave a persistent odour that's extremely difficult to fully remove — and rodent waste carries a real risk of disease, including Hantavirus, which is present in Saskatchewan. Getting into a cab or RV that mice have been living in is a health concern, not just an inconvenience.
What We Protect
A modern tractor's cab, wiring harness, and insulation are prime targets during any idle period. Damage to electronic systems can sideline a machine at the worst possible time — seeding or harvest.
Combines sit for months between seasons and rodents treat them like a hotel. Chewed wiring in a combine can mean thousands in repairs — or a breakdown in the middle of harvest when parts and technicians are stretched thin.
SGI has documented motorhomes written off entirely from rodent infestations. Stored seasonally in a yard or acreage, they're a long-term target. Protection before you park for winter is far cheaper than what you'll face in the spring.
Boats stored in a yard, shed, or on a trailer are especially vulnerable — cushions, wiring, and engine compartments offer everything a rodent is looking for through a long Saskatchewan winter.
Recreational vehicles parked between seasons are a common target. Engine bays and under-seat storage attract nesting, and wiring damage on a quad can be deceptively expensive to trace and repair.
Sprayers, balers, and other large equipment stored between seasons face the same risk as combines. We can help you put a plan in place for your full equipment lineup, not just the high-ticket items.
The Science Behind It
Mice and rats possess a highly developed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields. As they approach the Rodent Shield barrier, they detect the electrical field before they ever make contact with it — triggering an instinctive avoidance response.
This means the barrier doesn't just react to rodents — it repels them. Animals that approach learn quickly that this is not a place they want to be.
Rodents are neophobic — hardwired to be deeply suspicious of anything new or unfamiliar in their environment. Once a rodent has a negative experience at the barrier, that fear is reinforced and retained.
They will not attempt to jump or cross it. The barrier becomes a boundary they learn to avoid entirely — protecting your equipment around the clock without any ongoing intervention.
