Insect Control
Our comprehensive insect control addresses infestations of all sizes. We target common Ontario pests including carpenter ants, cluster flies, cockroaches, and earwigs using environmentally responsible methods. Our technicians conduct thorough inspections to identify entry points and implement prevention strategies, ensuring long-term protection for residential and commercial properties while maintaining safety for occupants and pets.
Rodent Control
Specialized rodent control services tackle mice and rat infestations with humane exclusion techniques. We employ safe trapping methods and seal entry points to prevent re-infestation. Our approach combines immediate removal with structural modifications to protect properties across Southern Ontario, including agricultural buildings and residential homes, while complying with wildlife protection regulations.
Mosquito Control Parties
Tailored mosquito control services for outdoor events guarantee 24-hour protection. Our morning fogging treatments use EPA-registered solutions that safely eliminate adult mosquitoes and larvae. This service benefits homeowners hosting gatherings and commercial venues requiring pest-free environments, with applications timed to maximize effectiveness during peak mosquito activity periods.
Real Estate Pre Inspection
Pre-sale property inspections identify pest-related issues affecting real estate transactions. We specialize in detecting rodent activity and bat infestations that could delay sales. Our detailed reports meet industry standards and include remediation recommendations, helping sellers address problems before listing while providing buyers with clear property condition assessments.
Bat Exclusions
Professional bat exclusion services address infestations in residential and commercial buildings. We implement one-way exit systems that allow bats to leave but prevent re-entry, combined with sealing access points. Our methods comply with conservation laws protecting these beneficial creatures while resolving property damage and health concerns caused by guano accumulation.

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.
