Because household pests are such a common problem, it seems everyone and their uncle has a home remedy for dealing with them.

Bugs, rodents, and other unwelcome critters can spread disease, and they can also cause expensive damage to your home and property.

We’d love to provide a solution for your unique problem with guaranteed results.

“If only I had cleaned more!” One of the most common assumptions when you discover a pest problem is that you must have left something undone. And while it’s true that there are preventative steps you can take to reduce your risk of pests, even the tidiest homes can be susceptible to mice and insect invasions. A bit later on we’ll talk about some of the things you can do to guard against unwelcome intrusions. For now, don’t let pests get you down. Call us for pest control in St. Catharines and receive a comprehensive pest control treatment that you’re sure to be satisfied with.

Bedbugs are a byword amongst anyone with a bed. These little bloodsucking creatures are difficult to get rid of and can cause irritation and infection in humans and animals alike. Some have claimed that bedbugs only emerge in the dark, and that you can avoid being bitten by keeping the lights on. Aside from this being an impossible solution – who keeps the lights on all night? – it’s also, unfortunately, not true.

While it’s true that bedbugs prefer the dark, the light won’t keep you from getting bitten by them. Call us when you need an effective, guaranteed bed bug exterminator in St. Catharines.

Contrary to everything your childhood cartoons may have taught you, cheese doesn’t have a lot of attraction for mice. Many homeowners have kept this assumption going, using cheese in mouse traps in an attempt to entice them. Often, the result is that rather than getting rid of mice, the cheese sits for days and draws flies and other pests.

The truth is, mice actually prefer foods that are high in sugar and carbohydrates, like peanut butter. Don’t delay when you see signs of a mouse problem. If you wait too long before trying to deal with them, a few mice can quickly turn into a large infestation.

Some people have tried to work around the question of mouse or rat traps by using rodent poison. At first glance this seems like a simple solution; many of these chemical manufacturers advertise their products as a one-step fix for your problem, that it will not only eliminate the offending rodents, but will also dry them out.

The trouble is that these claims are often exaggerated, or they lead you to believe they act immediately. In reality, after a rodent has ingested the poison, it can still take several days to take effect, and the desiccating effect is not as complete as advertised. This means that rats and mice are more likely to die inside the wall in your home. This usually leads to bad odours and can even attract other pests who are attracted to the carcass.

This is another thing that a lot of people believe because of cartoons: that dogs, and especially cats, are an in-house pest control service. The truth is that unless you’re on a farm with an army of outdoor cats, family pets are generally unmotivated to hunt, because they are already getting fed.

As a matter of fact, pets come with their own pest control complications. Fleas and other bugs can get tracked into the house on their fur, and any leftover food in their bowls can also attract rodents and insects.

We’ve seen all kinds of home remedies for bee, ant, and insect problems: vinegar, essential oils, club soda, plaster of Paris, ground pepper, the list is endless! We’ve even tried some of these recommendations.

After decades of experience, however, we’ve identified which pantry treatments are effective and which are a waste of time and effort.

Check out our page of DIY tips and advice for some of the home solutions that we’ve tried and proven. The unfortunate truth is that most of them are a bust. The most effective solution is a proper insecticide, properly applied by a pest control professional.
