Insect Control
Our comprehensive insect control addresses common Ontario pests including carpenter ants, cluster flies, cockroaches, and earwigs. Using targeted treatments, we eliminate infestations while implementing preventative measures to protect residential and commercial properties from future invasions.
Rodent Control
Specialized rodent management tackles mice and rat infestations through humane exclusion techniques and habitat modification. Our licensed technicians safely remove nesting colonies while sealing entry points to prevent re-infestation, ensuring properties remain rodent-free year-round.
Mosquito Control
Mosquito control parties provide temporary relief for outdoor events through safe, morning applications that eliminate adult mosquitoes. This service creates a 24-hour protective barrier, allowing uninterrupted enjoyment of backyard gatherings and special occasions.
Real Estate Pre-Inspection
Pre-inspection services identify pest-related issues affecting property transactions. Focusing on rodent activity and bat infestations, our thorough examinations help buyers and sellers address potential problems before closing, ensuring smooth real estate processes.
Tick Management
Tick control programs target blacklegged (deer) ticks through environmental treatments and habitat modification. We implement preventative strategies to reduce tick populations in residential areas, minimizing Lyme disease risks while maintaining ecological balance.

Report
We had wasps that migrated indoors in late fall (20/30 a day buzzing in our rec room/basement in morning and late evening). Its been a week since the company was in, and weve only had a couple dying ones flying around, as was expected. The gentleman that came to do the work was so informative and put our worries to rest. He was COVID friendly, asking about masks, and very sure he could help us. The office was also quick in answering invoicing questions. The price was less than expected. Very satisfied, even if we have to call them again, we would use them in a flash.

Response for yellow jacket bees was super fast. Staff on phone got ahold of me once they opened. Dave came, explained who, what, where & killed the colony beside shed. He sure knows his stuff. I highly recommend this company.

We have a cottage in Little Britain that was having a terrible wasp problem. Dave and his team took such good care of us knowing we have 3 babies and were frightened for them to be sting. It took 2 service calls since there were several nests but Dave was persistent and made sure we were totally satisfied. We are so glad to find such a dependable company and w e intend to stay loyal to them for all our pest/bug/wasp concerns!
