Bed Bugs
Threat Level: HighBed bugs are small, reddish-brown insects that feed on human blood at night. They hide in mattress seams, bed frames, headboards, and furniture — and spread rapidly between rooms and units.
Do not attempt DIY treatment — over-the-counter sprays rarely penetrate hiding spots and can scatter the infestation. Call us immediately.
📞 Call (289) 264-3093 NowSigns to Look For
- Small rust-coloured spots or smears on sheets and mattress seams
- Tiny white eggs or shed skins in mattress folds and furniture joints
- Clusters of small, itchy red bites — often in a line or zigzag pattern
- A faint sweet or musty odour in heavily infested rooms
- Live bugs visible in seams, behind headboards, or inside electrical outlets
Rodents (Mice & Rats)
Threat Level: Very HighMice and rats can squeeze through surprisingly small gaps — mice through a hole the size of a dime, rats through a quarter-sized opening. They contaminate food, chew wiring (a fire hazard), and carry disease.
Rodents reproduce extremely fast. A single pair of mice can produce over 60 offspring in a year. Call us as soon as you spot signs.
📞 Call (289) 264-3093 NowSigns to Look For
- Small dark droppings near food sources, cupboards, or along walls
- Gnaw marks on food packaging, wood trim, baseboards, or wiring insulation
- Greasy rub marks along walls and baseboards where rodents travel repeatedly
- Scratching or scurrying sounds in walls, ceilings, or under floors — especially at night
- Nesting material (shredded paper, fabric, insulation) in hidden corners or behind appliances
- Burrow holes in soil near your foundation
Wasps & Hornets
Threat Level: HighWasps and hornets become aggressive defenders of their nest when disturbed. Unlike bees, they can sting multiple times. Nests appear in spring and grow through summer, often reaching the size of a basketball by August.
Never attempt to remove a nest yourself. Even a small disturbance can provoke hundreds of stings. This is especially dangerous for anyone with allergies. Call us.
📞 Call (289) 264-3093 NowSigns to Look For
- Visible paper-like nest — under eaves, in wall voids, in attic spaces, or underground
- Increased wasp activity around a specific area of your home exterior
- Wasps entering and exiting a gap in siding, soffit, or roof edge
- Buzzing sounds inside a wall cavity
- Chewed wood fibres visible on fence posts or deck railings
Cockroaches
Threat Level: Very HighCockroaches are nocturnal and expert hiders — seeing one during the day often means the infestation is already severe. They contaminate food and surfaces and are a known trigger for asthma and allergies.
Cockroaches develop resistance to store-bought products quickly. Professional treatment targeting harborage sites is the only reliable solution.

- Small dark droppings resembling coffee grounds or black pepper near food prep areas
- Oval-shaped egg casings in dark corners, behind appliances, or under sinks
- A strong, oily, musty odour — distinct and unpleasant
- Smear marks along walls and floors in areas of high moisture
- Shed skins found near hiding spots (under fridge, behind stove, in cabinets)
- Live roaches seen when lights are turned on at night
Ants
Threat Level: MediumMost ants are nuisance pests, but carpenter ants excavate wood to build nests and can cause structural damage over time. Ant colonies can number in the thousands and foraging trails can span large distances.
Store-bought bait can suppress trails temporarily but rarely eliminates the colony. We locate and treat the nest directly.
📞 Call (289) 264-3093 NowSigns to Look For
- Visible trails of ants moving between a food source and a wall, window, or floor crack
- Small piles of fine sawdust-like material (frass) near wood structures — sign of carpenter ants
- Winged ants (swarmers) appearing indoors in spring — often confused with termites
- Rustling sounds inside wall voids (large carpenter ant colonies)
- Ants consistently appearing near moisture — under sinks, around window frames, near plumbing
Raccoons & Squirrels
Threat Level: MediumRaccoons and squirrels commonly enter attics through roof vents, soffits, and fascia gaps — especially in late winter and spring when females are seeking nesting sites. Once inside, they cause significant damage to insulation and wiring.
Ontario wildlife legislation governs how and when animals can be removed. We handle removal humanely and legally, and proof the entry point after.
📞 Call (289) 264-3093 NowSigns to Look For
- Thumping, scratching, or rolling sounds in the attic — especially at dawn and dusk
- Visible damage to roof vents, soffits, or fascia boards
- Droppings in the attic space or near the roofline
- Insulation pushed aside or compressed in the attic
- Foul odour from the attic — can indicate a trapped or deceased animal
- Raccoon or squirrel sightings on the roof, especially near the chimney or vents
