Pest Control Toronto

Answer: Look for rust-coloured blood stains on your sheets, tiny dark spots along mattress seams (bed bug droppings), and a sweet musty smell in the bedroom. You may also find shed skin casings near your headboard or behind wall outlets. Waking up with itchy red welts in a line or cluster on your arms or neck is another common sign. In Toronto condos, bed bugs spread quickly between units through shared walls and electrical outlets. If you spot even one sign, book an inspection immediately.

Answer: Yes, all treatments we use are Health Canada approved and PMRA-registered, independently tested for safety in Canadian homes. We treat targeted areas only and provide clear re-entry times for every treatment. Most standard services allow your family and pets back within 2 to 4 hours. Our bed bug heat treatment uses zero chemicals, rooms are brought to 56°C which kills all life stages with no chemical residue left behind. We always tell you exactly what products we are using and how long to stay out before we start.

Answer: A standard bed bug heat treatment for a Toronto home or condo takes 6 to 8 hours from setup to completion. We raise the room to 56°C, the lethal threshold for all bed bug life stages including eggs, and hold it long enough for heat to penetrate mattresses, wall voids, and furniture joints. You and your family need to vacate the property during treatment and for 1 to 2 hours after. Larger homes or severe infestations may take up to 10 to 12 hours. Every heat treatment comes with a full written removal guarantee.

Answer: Yes, our mice control service includes full entry point sealing and rodent-proofing as standard, which is what most companies skip. After removing all active rodent activity, our technicians identify and permanently seal every gap around pipes, vents, utility lines, and foundation cracks that mice are using to get in. We back every job with a written re-infestation guarantee so if mice return within the warranty period, we come back at no charge. Trapping and baiting without sealing is a temporary fix. Exclusion is the permanent solution.

Answer: Spring brings carpenter ants and pavement ants as temperatures rise. Summer is peak season for wasps, hornets, and spiders and black widow spiders have been found in GTA garages and wood piles. In fall, house mice and Norway rats move indoors as it gets cold and German cockroach activity peaks in older apartments and buildings. Bed bugs are a year-round problem in Toronto condos and multi-unit buildings. Wildlife including raccoons, squirrels, and skunks cause the most structural damage in early spring when they nest in attics.

Answer: Costs depend on the pest type, property size, and severity of the infestation. As a general guide, ant control starts from $120, cockroach treatment from $150, mice control with full exclusion from $250, bed bug heat treatment from $500 per unit, and wildlife removal from $250. All our services include a free on-site inspection and a written quote before any work begins with no hidden fees. Call us at (647) 471-1332 for a same-day estimate across Toronto and the GTA.

Answer: German cockroaches hide inside walls, under appliances, and behind outlets so DIY sprays only kill what you see and not the colony. Professional treatment combines gel bait in targeted hiding areas with residual insecticide applied to cracks and wall voids, followed by a confirmed follow-up visit. In Toronto apartment buildings, re-infestation from neighbouring units is common so building-wide treatment gives the best long-term results. All our cockroach treatments use PMRA-approved products and include a follow-up inspection to confirm full elimination.

Answer: Yes, we offer same-day and emergency exterminator services 7 days a week across Toronto and the GTA including weekends and holidays.

Answer:  Aprehend is a biopesticide made from Beauveria bassiana, a naturally occurring fungus that kills bed bugs through contact and not ingestion. When a bed bug walks through a treated area, fungal spores attach to its body, penetrate the exoskeleton, and cause death within 3 to 7 days. The infected bed bug then spreads spores to other bed bugs it contacts, creating a colony-wide kill effect that reaches eggs and nymphs hidden in areas the spray never touched directly. Unlike chemical sprays, bed bugs cannot develop resistance to it. Pest Control Pro is one of the few certified Aprehend applicators in the GTA.

Answer:  Yes, every technician holds a valid pesticide applicator licence from the Ontario Ministry of Environment (MECP) under the Ontario Pesticides Act, which requires passing government-certified exams in pest management and environmental safety. We are certified members of SPMAO, CPMA, and NPMA, and are certified Aprehend applicators and one of very few companies in the GTA with this qualification. All work is fully insured with commercial liability coverage on every job. You can request our MECP licence number at any time before or during your service.
