Bug Pests
Spiders
Few pests make people as squeamish as spiders, and although they are very beneficial to our ecosystem, they are very unpleasant to have at home, cottage, or business. Not only are they unsightly, but their webbing can be difficult to remove if left unchecked. Our spider treatments are very effective and consist of an exterior (and interior if required) application of residual insecticide to their harbourage sites, such as soffit and fascia, window and door frames, decks and railings, baseboards, attics, crawlspaces etc.. And these treatments include a 2 month warranty!
Combine this treatment with one of our other services such as ants or mice and receive a discount!
Bedbugs
Not only are they extremely resistant to most insecticides, but their ability to hide and quickly reproduce makes them virtually impossible for the average home owner to eliminate, and application of over-the-counter insecticides and aerosols are more likely to push the bugs into more obscure harbourage sites and cause them to spread even further. But fear not, bedbugs are by no means invincible.
Carpenter Ants
They do not actually eat wood but rather excavate the infested material in order to create tunnels and galleries in which they house their colonies. Small piles of saw dust or “frass” can often be found near the nests, and are an obvious sign of infestation, and it’s not uncommon to actually hear the ants as their mandibles chew at the infested material.
Cluster Flies
Our cluster fly treatments consist of a thorough interior and exterior treatment of the structure (and attic if applicable). Having this treatment performed in early fall is very effective at preventing cluster flies from entering in the first place and dramatically reduces the amount of flies present in your home the following spring.

Fleas
Obviously as their names suggest, they infest our homes and feed on our pets, not only is this unpleasant for us, but it can be very stressful to your pets as the fleas feed on your pet’s blood and lay eggs in their fur.
These eggs are then dislodged from the fur when your pet scratches, causing these eggs to be dispersed throughout your home. Once these eggs hatch the larvae will emerge seeking organic matter for food, these larvae avoid sunlight and are attracted to dark, humid areas such as soil, cracks and crevices, in bedding, and under carpets and baseboards. Once adequately fed these larvae pupate and seal themselves in a silken cocoon.
Cockroaches
Cockroaches have been linked to asthma and are capable of reproducing faster than any other residential cockroach species, reaching sexual maturity within a matter of several weeks and impregnated females carrying up to 50 eggs at a time. Making them a prolific and problematic pest!
Wasps
Attempting to treat these nests without proper equipment and experience can prove to be extremely hazardous. Our wasp treatments are guaranteed and affordable, by injecting insecticide dust directly into the entry point of the wasp nest , we can quickly neutralize the colony. We will also remove the nest if possible, this treatment includes a warranty of the treated nest or entry point, we are ready to serve!
