Pest Control
Our comprehensive pest control services target ants, bedbugs, spiders, and other invasive species using advanced equipment and environmentally responsible methods. Technicians conduct thorough inspections to identify infestation sources and implement customized treatment plans. We provide follow-up services and preventative measures to ensure long-term protection for residential and commercial properties.
Wildlife Removal
We specialize in humane wildlife removal for raccoons, squirrels, bats, and other nuisance animals. Our process includes identifying entry points, live trapping, and exclusion repairs using steel mesh and caulking. All animals are relocated following Ministry of Environment guidelines, with seasonal follow-up visits to prevent re-entry.
Bedbug Treatment
Our bedbug treatment program combines specialized knowledge with proven methods to achieve 100% elimination. The process includes detailed inspections, cooperative client preparation, and multi-stage treatments targeting all life cycles. We offer 6-hour post-treatment clearance and follow-up monitoring to ensure complete eradication of these persistent pests.
Cluster Fly Program
This targeted program addresses cluster fly infestations in rural properties through perimeter treatments and attic applications. Our seasonal approach uses safe products applied in spring and fall, with customized treatment plans based on property-specific needs. The program offers 30-100 day guarantees depending on service level selected.
Rodent Control
Our rodent control services identify and eliminate infestations through inspection, baiting, and exclusion repairs. Technicians locate nesting areas in walls, attics, and basements, then implement exclusion measures to prevent re-entry. The program includes follow-up inspections and seasonal maintenance options to maintain rodent-free environments.
