Pest control FAQ for Brampton and the GTA.

Most single treatments for common insects cost $150 to $380 before HST. Mouse and rat programs usually run $225 to $350, and bed bugs cost $450 to $600 per chemical visit (two or more visits) or $450 to $800+ for heat. Your technician confirms the exact price after the inspection.

Yes. Unless exempt, anyone who performs or offers extermination in Ontario needs an exterminator licence from the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks. Ask any company for its licence number before booking.

We use Health Canada-registered products, placed in targeted spots such as tamper-resistant bait stations and wall voids. Your technician tells you how long to keep children and pets out of treated areas, usually [a few hours], and leaves it in writing.

Heat treatment costs $450 to $800+ and usually clears an infestation in one visit. Chemical treatment costs $450 to $600 per visit and needs at least two visits. We recommend heat for a heavy infestation or when you need your home back in one day.

Our usual response time is within 1 business day. Wasp nests by a doorway get priority.

The price covers the inspection and the treatment for the pests you book. Quotes are before 13% HST. Your technician confirms the final price, and how many visits it includes, before any work starts.

Mouse and rat programs include a follow-up after the first visit. Chemical bed bug treatment needs at least two visits. Heat treatment for bed bugs is usually one visit.

Treatments include a written 90-day warranty. If the same pests come back within that time, we return at no charge.

Our usual response time is within 1 business day. Wasp nests by a doorway get priority.

A description or a photo is enough. Text 416-857-9254 and a licensed technician identifies it at the inspection. If it is something we do not list a price for, call 416-857-9254 and we will go over the right price with you.

Mouse droppings are small, about the size of a grain of rice, and pointed at the ends. Rat droppings are larger, about 1 to 2 cm long. Rats also leave burrows along foundations and are more likely to be active outside. Your technician confirms which one it is at the inspection.

Most homes see activity drop within one to two weeks. A typical program is an initial visit plus a follow-up, and sealing entry points is what keeps them from coming back.

We use tamper-resistant, lockable stations placed in areas children and pets cannot reach, such as behind appliances, in wall voids or outside along the foundation. Your technician explains where each one is.

City of Toronto rodent service requests rose from 1,165 in 2015 to 2,523 in 2024. Warmer winters, a growing population and construction that displaces colonies all contribute.

Often, yes. In condos, apartments, townhouses and basement units, bed bugs travel through shared walls and laundry rooms. We can treat neighbouring units at the same visit so the problem does not bounce back.

No. Everyone, including pets, needs to be out during treatment and until your technician says it is safe to return. For heat treatment, plan for 6 to 8 hours.

Usually not. Mattresses and box springs can be treated, and encasements help trap any survivors. Throwing furniture out can spread bed bugs to other rooms and neighbours.

Shared walls, plumbing chases and garbage chutes connect units, so cockroaches move between them. Treating one unit alone often fails, which is why we coordinate with neighbours or property managers.

Please do not. Sprays repel cockroaches away from the bait and scatter them deeper into walls, which makes treatment slower.

You will usually see fewer cockroaches within one to two weeks as they feed on the bait. Heavy infestations need a follow-up visit.

Carpenter ants have a narrow, pinched waist and bent antennae, and they push out fine sawdust. Termites have a thick waist and straight antennae, and leave mud tubes. Termites are rarer in most of the GTA, but a technician can confirm.

If only the trail is sprayed, the colony survives and sends out new workers. Treating the colony and sealing entry points is what lasts.

They do not eat wood, but they excavate it to nest, usually in wood that is already damp or rotting. Over time that can weaken trim, decks and framing.

Small nests away from the house can sometimes be left alone until frost kills the colony. Nests near doors, inside walls, high up, or anywhere near someone with a sting allergy should be handled by a professional.

No. Colonies die off in fall and wasps do not reuse old nests, but new queens may build nearby next year, so we seal entry points into walls and soffits.

Nests by a doorway or play area get priority. Same-day appointments are often available.

Flea eggs and pupae survive in carpets and furniture and hatch over a few weeks. Vacuuming daily after treatment and treating every pet with a vet-recommended product breaks the cycle.

They are not dangerous, but large numbers point to a moisture problem. Reducing humidity in basements and bathrooms helps as much as treatment.

Yes. We treat the shady areas where mosquitoes rest and show you the standing water where they breed.

Yes. Every visit produces a dated digital report with findings, products used and their Health Canada registration numbers, station checks and recommendations, all kept in your account.

Yes. Restaurants and retail sites are often serviced before opening or after closing so customers are not disturbed.

Yes. One account can hold many properties, and reports can be copied to the property manager and the tenant.
