Bed Bug Control
Our bed bug specialists use heat treatments reaching 60C to eliminate all life stages in a single visit. Certified technicians combine canine scent detection with residual insecticides for 99% effectiveness. We provide mattress encasements and follow-up inspections to prevent recurrence in homes and multi-unit buildings.
Rodent Control
Customized rodent management includes exclusion techniques, tamper-resistant bait stations, and wildlife relocation. Our technicians identify entry points as small as 6mm and implement HACCP-compliant solutions for homes and food processing facilities across Western Canada.
Mosquito Control
Targeted larvicide applications and fogging treatments reduce mosquito populations by 90% within 48 hours. We conduct property inspections to eliminate breeding sites and install barrier treatments that protect outdoor spaces for up to 21 days.
Bird Control
We implement humane bird deterrent systems including netting, spikes, and ultrasonic devices. Our technicians address health hazards from droppings while complying with migratory bird regulations for commercial properties and agricultural facilities.
Insect Control
Comprehensive insect management targets ants, cockroaches, wasps, and stored product pests. Using crack-and-crevice treatments and pheromone monitoring, we create customized solutions for homes and businesses while minimizing environmental impact through IPM practices.

Questions
How can I identify a bed bug infestation?
Look for rusty stains on bedding, live insects in mattress seams, or shed skins. Musty odors and unexplained bites with central feeding patterns indicate activity. Professional inspection confirms presence.
What prevents recurring rodent problems?
Our exclusion service seals entry points as small as 6mm using stainless steel wool and caulk. Combined with strategic baiting and annual inspections, this creates permanent rodent deterrence.
Are chemical treatments safe for homes with children?
We prioritize non-chemical methods and use EPA-registered products with restricted access application. All treatments follow strict safety protocols approved by Canadian Pest Management Association.
How quickly can service be scheduled?
Emergency pest situations receive same-day response. Routine appointments are available within 48 hours across all service locations in Western Canada.
Do you guarantee pest elimination?
Our service guarantee includes free follow-up treatments within 30 days. For bed bugs, we provide three-phase heat treatments with 90-day monitoring to ensure complete eradication.
What commercial pest control certifications do you hold?
We maintain HACCP, SQF, and ISO 9001 certifications. Our staff includes Board Certified Entomologists and we comply with all CFIA and FDA regulations for food processing facilities.
