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

Bees have an enormous impact on our natural environment and livelihood. In addition to producing honey and beeswax these black and yellow insects are responsible for the pollination of plants. In Canada there are around 800 species of bees, but in the world overall, there are more than 25,000 known bee species.

Most bees are social insects and generally build their nests/hives in low areas, in the ground or amid debris. Bees are often mistaken as wasps & hornets, but can be distinguished by their broader, hairier bodies and legs.

While most species of bees are not naturally aggressive, they do possess stingers, which they will use to defend the colony or ward off attacks. When a bee stings, their barbed stinger detaches from it, causing their abdomen to rupture and resulting in death.

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.
