Snap Pest Control

Took some time but we found the entry point. We were both determined to get to the bottom of the mouse issue from the very outset. I went in the garage and looked yet found no clues. Then I left the garage and inspected the perimeter and found very little access. So once again I went back into the garage a second time and then noticed something strange which led me to the source. Sometimes the access is obvious and then again sometimes its a small opening which leads to another which leads to somewhere which we cannot see except to remove building material. The size of the tunnels along with the corresponding compressed insulation led me to believe the issue had been going on for quite some time. I was looking for a particular kind of rodent evidence and was relieved to find it in the garage. For me I've amassed quite a vast library of rodent clues over the years and I've learned to read rodent tracks and sebum marks on all kinds of substrates. Rub marks like those found in this particular garage on drywall tape with white builders grade primer are always of particular interest to me. The case is mostly finalized but I will be returning to check up on things. Thanks for your kind review. Joe

This was such a fun job to do. The squirrel chewed a hole the size of a grapefruit outta that gable. Luckily enough a few pieces of plywood were lying around in the garage which were used to make some backing strips and a nice cut-out. I made a template with some cardboard then traced out an outline of the opening with my jigsaw. Wood filler was then used to
hide the joints which were then painted with matching paint which was also in the garage. Came out perfectly and took an hour and a half. I've got a enough tools and material in my truck to handle most of these special requests. I believe in being prepared for any and all eventualities when I'm driving around on my adventures. So if you're lookin for something unusual or out of the ordinary give me a call.647 991 1803

Thanks Jim you are a true gentleman. I'm honored indeed to be blessed with such wonderful clients. You'll never have to worry about raccoons or mice again. Joe

Thanks for your nice review.Joe

The wasps were indeed getting into the basement and I didn't want to make things worse. I luckily, had seen this situation on a previous job and knew right away that there was a direct link somewhere on the exterior which was facilitating the issue. The dead wasp in the chimney clean out pointed me in the right direction and once outside with my binoculars pointed upwards I could see wasps entering to and from a small opening on the chimney itself. At this point I taped up the cleanout tight against any other further incursions. Once it was confirmed we had things sealed well I came back to finish the job. The roof was steep and difficult to access but eventually I managed to get the gear up there. From a distance I positioned my vacuum on an extension pole and created a huge swarm of wasps. I sat on that steep roof as still as possible for over an hour under this swarm and picked off around 500 wasps before injecting the dust into the cavity of the chimney. The job was completed in a timely manner with the results that I wanted hence this nice review.
This leads me to another job which I will briefly touch upon. Three weeks ago and before this job mentioned above I was called to a home in Milton which was experiencing a raccoon problem. As I approached the lower roof I quickly noted a large wasp nest which was attached to some soffit. My initial reaction was to remove it but the issue was raccoons so I simply steered clear of it and carefully went about my business of installing a 1 way door and some roof vent covers. Remember the wasp nest was way on the other side of my work and I was feeling confident with my approach to things. Once I was finished and I passed it carefully just one last time I was attacked by about 15 wasps and stung on my hands and arms quite intensely. Those wasps picked the wrong guy to mess with that day. Truthfully, I didn't want to kill them but in the end I wiped out that whole nest for free because I was so messed up with their stings. This was a great learning experience for me and I didn't let it make me feel fearful towards wasps. Had I let that experience effect me I wouldn't have been able to deal with the swarm I created on the chimney just weeks later. Just another experience for me as I go about my adventures as an exterminator. Thanks for your review by the way.Joe

Thank you. Joe

Thank you for your review. The entry point was located and sealed. I'm totally confident mice will be forever locked out now. Joe

Thank you for your review.Joe

Thank you for your review and for choosing Snap Pest Control. This has been one of the worst wasp years in a long time. Dealing with them in a safe effective methodical way is very important to me. Lately I've seen too many stories where wasps are blocked from getting out of their nests and consequently start to move inside homes. Glad that everything worked out well.Joe

Thank you for the review.

Mice issues in semi- detached houses are always challenging for me because of the potential access between houses. I always want to know whether the Niehbours are experiencing a problem next door. In my experience if the Niehbours have an issue at the same time that my clients do then we might have an access situation which may warrant further investigation. The following is an example which occurred last year in the Danforth area of Toronto last year. I received a call from my client regarding an on going mouse issue in her semi detached home which had be going on for many years. Seems the mice were now avoiding the traps and not even getting caught on the traps anymore. I asked about the Niehbours and it was appears that they also had a problem. The people next door were using an exterminator on and off for a few years and managing the problem yet the issue had now reached a new level and mice were freely running around in the daytime. To me when mice are running around in the daytime the population is either high or they just came into a house and are just as surprised to see us as we are them. The Niehbours although reluctant to lose their existing company decided it was time for second opinion and I consequently took on the job at both homes. This works well because I could compare notes without having to rely on the another independent exterminator. I knew there was a problem when I found out the other exterminator had never even bothered to conduct an exterior inspection. So I put on some coveralls, grabbed a flashlight light, grabbed my drill and a shovel and removed some boards ( thank god for the cover-all's because I was a real mess ). Both houses were checked and sure enough I found the access point. I was thrilled, took photos, and both clients were elated to finally have an answer to the on infestation. Two hours and 90 % of the problem was resolved with closing the area down a little mesh and cement . Now the other 10 % was dealing with the locked in mice. The mouse problem took a year to resolve with two follow up visits and varying baits.
