The initial call to the property was for a mouse infestation in the basement of a house in Brampton. Mice are a frustrating and difficult infestation to deal with. Mice are very dirty creatures who sleep in nests that they leave rotting food in, urinate in and defecate in. This means their dander and fine…
Cockroaches are very dangerous and harmful insects. When they grow they do not go through any instar transformations like most other insects. The egg hatches and a tiny barely visible cockroach comes out, fully formed and mobile. The baby will moult hundreds of times as it grows and that moulting is coated in feces and…
Mice are a frustrating and problematic infestation. They are hard to find and even harder to catch. They usually enter on the ground floor often through a back door that has been left open. They will then rapidly populate your home and begin moving up the walls to the second floor and all the way…
Cockroaches have existed for millions of years, to the point that we do not really know how old they actually are. They are very different from other insects, specifically having thicker harder carapaces and actual organs instead of free-floating organelles.

The social wasp makes its nest from many various kinds of material such as mud, plants, and inside wood made from their secretion. Many materials are gathered and built in a honeycomb pattern and are frequently strengthened by an extra protective layer. The locations vary based on what kind of wasp species you are dealing…
Yes, they are able to nest underground, however, only certain species are able to. Hornets in general build nests above the ground, but the hornet is known as the Cicada Killer or Ground Hornets does. They build their nest in a preferably dry area and can be present anywhere where there is dirt. These hornets…
Wasps construct wasps in isolated, dry, and dark areas around the house. They usually build nests that are ideally close to food sources and far away from any type of disturbances. Wasps usually make nests in abandoned sheds, under eaves, and even in the garage. Wasps make nests inside wall cavities. Some of these spots…
The life cycle of a wasp nest is a fascinating one as it keeps repeating time and time. When the queen wasp passes the harsh Ontario winter, she will begin scouting an area for the wasp nest in the spring. The wasp nest is then just the size of a tennis ball. It gradually…
