To understand pest control, you first need to understand pests. Pests or vermin are basically any creatures that cause disturbances in the lives of humans. There are a lot of different factors that make vermin annoying, but the four big ones to look at are diet, reproduction, habitat and disease. Animals will be vermin if their diet consists of things that humans eat; sometimes, they feast on human blood! Vermin are especially pesky if they reproduce really quickly; insects and rodents are quite bad for this. When animals make their home in your home, they can quickly become a nuisance. Finally, animals that carry diseases are incredibly problematic; they’re putting the health of you and your family at risk. This makes it imperative to seek out a quality pest control company.
The number of different pest control techniques we used are as varied as the vermin themselves; each kind responds differently to different chemicals, baits, and deterrents. The two broad strategies we employ are prevention and extermination. Prevention means going through every inch of your property and checking for places the vermin you want to go could live, breed or travel through, and sealing off or eliminating those spots. Extermination means finding and eliminating the vermin that are causing you to suffer. We employ both strategies to get rid of the vermin and make sure they don’t come back.
The unwanted pests you’ll find in your home during the winter are those who can’t stand the cold, usually mice, rats, and cockroaches. These critters will make their way through your walls, traveling through ducts, cracks, and crevices until they infest your entire home. The earlier you call us, the more quickly we can get these problem vermin under control; they all reproduce pretty quickly, and they’re all hungry, eating everything from your foodstuffs too, in the case of cockroaches, your book bindings. Mice and rats, in particular, carry diseases, many of which can be deadly. When you call us, we’ll find all the cracks and holes they could travel through, and we’ll use comprehensive baiting and extermination strategies to get rid of each and every pest.
The most annoying pest in the summertime? Living in Winnipeg, you’ve got to know it’s mosquitoes. With the city’s fogging efforts, a lot of folks don’t realize the incredible work our extermination team can do to take down the mosquito population in your yard. We start by doing a thorough analysis of the premises, finding any stagnant water that’s built up and getting rid of it. Then, we can use a combination of larvicides and ovicides to kill mosquitoes before they’ve hatched, while treating plants to get rid of adult mosquitoes who are bringing down your picnics.
