FACTS AND INFORMATION ABOUT ANTS FROM ONTARIO'S LEADING PEST CONTROL COMPANY.

Ants are the definition of “tough and tiny,” as they are able to lift 100 times their own body weight. They can be a serious issue in any season, including winter. Ants in house or in a business pose a serious problem for home and business owners alike. There are over a thousand different types of ants! The main types that are common nuisances in homes are:

There’s nothing worse than seeing a trail of black ants in your home. In most cases, an ant infestation is difficult to control on your own, and should be dealt with by a pest control professional. Common areas where you find these pests are those that are most vulnerable to moisture, such as:

Under windows
Roof eaves
Decks and porches
Tree stumps
Wood storage piles

Many ants breed by swarming, which is when winged males and female queens fly (temporarily) to mate. Carpenter ants and thief ants breed this way. Ants that do not reproduce by swarming use a process called budding. Budding is when the queen and worker ants leave their current ant nest to form a new colony. Budding is used by fire and pharoah ants.

I want to thank Sarah! She really did a amazing inspection! I had a issue with mice. Sarah cover the inside and outside taking care of holes/gaps above the front and back doors. attics and garage. And has a very caring attitude towards her clients! I have know about Environmental Pest control for many years as they looked after issues with a school board I worked for.

We just had a fall treatment done at our country property. We never hesitate to call this company to protect us from ladybugs, cluster flies and more. You can count on them for punctuality, professionalism and thoroughness. Shout out to Cody who went above and beyond today: on his own accord, he brought our garbage/recycling bins to our garage door from the road and was able to retrieve a helium balloon that had floated up to the top of our cathedral ceiling. We are seniors, so these gestures of kindness were most appreciated. Highly recommend!

I cannot rate this company high enough. I first talked with Thomas on the phone. He was so polite and patient with this 79 year old lady animal advocate. He talked me through everything and I made my choice of the service I desired. I got an appointment the next day. Craig was right on time and he went through everything again and made sure I understood the whole procedure. I feel I got a very fair price for the work done. Do not hesitate to call Environmental Pest Control if you need help with wasps as I did!

I recently had the bait boxes refilled to avoid having mice move into my house as the weather turns colder. Mike and Jake arrived at the appointed time. Both gentlemen were polite, friendly and very professional. When they left, I contacted Kassandra to arrange payment. She was lovely, pleasant and polite, a pleasure to speak with. I have used the services of this company for years and have always been pleased.
