  2. Fast Raccoon Removal Services in Toronto & Hamilton Raccoon removal services are always in demand because these animals can be the most destructive pest in the urban areas of southern Ontario. They can cause severe damage to roofs, soffits, sheds, deck areas, garbage areas and pretty well anywhere else you can think of around your home! Biology Raccoons breed mainly in February and March, but matings may occur from December through June. The gestation period is about 63 days. Most litters are born in April or May, but some late-breeding females may not give birth until June, July, or August. The biggest problem occurs when a female has bred a letter within your home. Not only does she possess strong maternal instinct and protecting her letter, but as litter grows more damage will be caused to your home. Their diet is extremely diverse. In other words, they will eat almost anything that you have around! hey are also nocturnal or night-time active animals. That’s why sometimes you will hear a loud thump some times on your roof or inside your attic in the middle of the night. Raccoon Damage Raccoons can cause substantial damage. In urban areas, they can damage building (particularly attics and roofs), gardens, fruit trees, lawns, garbage cans and trash containers. They are also attracted to pet food left outdoors and will attack pets. Occasionally, one or more raccoons will establish a communal toilet area resulting in time of the deposition of a large number of scats. If this is inside your attic measures should be taken to get rid of the waste once these pests are removed. Disease Since free roaming wildlife does not receive veterinary care, all wildlife species can carry diseases and parasites. Raccoons are known carriers of rabies, canine distemper, encephalitis, histoplasmosis, trypanosomiasis, coccidiosis, toxoplasmosis, tularemia, tuberculosis, listeriosis, leptospirosis, roundworms, and mange. They are also infested with fleas, ticks, lice and mites which are known transmitters of disease. Children and pets are particularly at risk. Problem Prevention Raccoons are attracted to urban areas by the easy accessibility of food, water, and shelter. Reducing or eliminating the availability of all of these factors will encourage them to leave. Tight fitting lids should be kept on garbage cans; pets should be fed during daylight hours and any leftovers removed immediately; water bowl should be emptied or taken in a night; gardens should be frequently harvested and windfall fruit picked up. Food should never be intentionally left out for wild mammals.

  3. How can PPC Services help with raccoon removal? Our highly trained and professional Wildlife Technicians do a complete inspection of the home to determine if the animals have gotten inside the attic area. If they have, we will enter the attic to determine the extent of the damage that these pests may have caused. Once this is done we will set traps to remove the animals and after determining that all the animals are removed, we will repair where the animals have entered. When in the attic, we also look for droppings and the urine of the animals. This can be very significant if they have been living in the home for an extended time. When it comes to raccoon removal services from homes and attics, you should contact Petty Pest Control Services as soon as you can to minimize damage to your home. Squirrel Removal- Toronto, Hamilton, Niagara & Oakville More and more often, we are contacted about Squirrel Removal in Toronto, Hamilton, Niagara and Oakville areas. You may think that leaving on your attic lights or attempting to ‘harass’ the animals yourself might hurry their departure. While these methods can sometimes be effective, at Petty Pest Control Services we have years of experience with squirrel control and have helped homeowners and business owners alike get rid of these pesky animals in almost every situation and circumstance possible.

  4. Helping You Rid Your Attic of Squirrels These pests can be quite a nuisance because they are able to easily adapt to a changing environment, making squirrel removal very tough to do on your own without the help of a professional. They have a bad habit of gnawing on just about everything that you can imagine. From your wood shingled roof to your metal gutters, they gnaw and gnaw. One of the main reasons for this behavior is that their teeth grow continuously, thus they gnaw on objects to keep their teeth to an adequate length. Beyond that, squirrels have been known to nest in attics of homes. They can cause structural damage wherever they live and can drive you absolutely crazy with annoying scratching sounds, gnawing sounds and shuffling sounds when they nest in your home. Do you need help with squirrel control? The first thing that may indicate a squirrel infestation is the noise in the attic that is made when they are either breeding, entering and exiting the attic and the gnawing that they continually do. Squirrels usually, will pick the highest spot on the roof to enter. Therefore it is very dangerous for a homeowner to try and remove them on their own. Sometimes the squirrels will actually jump out of the hole onto the unsuspecting homeowner that is trying to evict them. Further the wiring of the attic should be inspected in the attic if the squirrels have been in the attic for any length of time. Squirrels will gnaw on the wire plastic insulation and expose the wire to create a fire hazard. Once the squirrels have babies in the spring the noise will actually increase because of the amount animals present. More squirrels equals more noise and damage. So if you hear gnawing with some scuffling above your head at night, you can be sure that there are younger animals present and that a family has made a nest in your home. This is usually in the spring of the year. If you believe that squirrels have made a home on your property, Petty Pest Control Services can help with our professional squirrel removal service. Why do you need squirrel removal? Many homeowners think that squirrels will simply go away by themselves. While it is true that the animals sometimes make only a temporary den out of your attic, most of the time they will remain there for a number of weeks or longer. If you are lucky enough for the animals to leave on their own and you do not address the problem, they may return at a later time. If a pregnant mother makes its way into your home, it may stay there for the duration until all the babies have been weaned and left on their own. Then the process begins again. Squirrels will usually have two litters per year. Are squirrels dangerous? The biggest danger from squirrels is probably their habit of gnawing. Squirrels have been suspected in about 50% of all house fires with undetermined causes. How can Petty Pest Control Services help with squirrel removal? Our highly trained and professional Wildlife Technicians do a complete inspection of the home to determine if the animals have gotten inside the attic area. If they have, we will enter the attic to determine the extent of the damage that the squirrels may have caused. Once this is done we will set traps to remove the animals and after determining that all the animals are removed, we will repair where the animals have entered.

Ant Extermination & Ant Control Services In Toronto This is an excellent article on Ant Extermination and Ant Control by Barb Ogg, PhD, Extension Educator http://lancaster.unl.edu/pest/resources/antcontrol003.shtml And while Dr. Ogg refers to Nebraska, the content applies equally well here in Ontario. “How can I get rid of ants in my house?” . . . . .is one of the most common homeowner complaints heard by insect pest control specialists. They invade the home to forage for food or seek shelter or both. This article explains ant behavior and provides control tips so you, the homeowner, are better equipped to deal with this pest.

  6. Behavior All ants live in colonies, consisting of an egg-laying female (queen), short-lived males, and workers (sterile females). The ants you see foraging in your garden or kitchen are workers. Workers that find food communicate with other workers by depositing a chemical message on the substrate as they crawl back to the nest. Although we cannot smell it, this “trail pheromone” sticks to the substrate for long periods of time and helps other ants find the food at the end of the trail. In the spring, ants develop wings and fly to new locations and invade homes to forage for food or to establish a new nest. Termites also develop wings and swarm during the spring and look similar to flying ants. Examine them closely to make sure that you have the correct pest! Ants are thin-waisted and have elbowed antennae. Termites have thicker waists and have antennae that resemble strings of tiny beads. You may need a magnifying glass to examine antennal features. As a group, ants have a wide food range, feeding on sweet foods, greasy materials, starchy substances, wood, and all kinds of plant and animal materials. Part of the reason that these insects become a nuisance in our homes is that they often like the same kinds of food that we do. Ant Control There are two categories of ants that will be encountered when experiencing a problem with these insects. The control strategy that you should take depends on your type of infestation. Ants that live outside and forage in the home. Those that live outside will travel inside the home to search for food. Some species may ultimately reside in houses, discussed later in this fact sheet. To prevent both of these scenarios, follow these procedures: 1.First, cracks and crevices should be sealed to eliminate passages into the home. If you do not seal entry points, ants will probably find their way into your house at some later time. 2.Second, scrub around entry points with a detergent (to remove the trail pheromone) and spray a residual insecticide around entry points. Bait treatments and insecticides can be used to control ants in the outside nest. To be effective baits must be placed in areas where ants frequent, eaten and be taken back to the nest. There are several different kinds of baits available, and you may have to do a little trial-and-error to find the proper bait. Because they must get back to the nest for satisfactory control this strategy may be incompatible with insecticide sprays which may kill worker ants before they can get back to the nest with the bait. The successful use of a bait may take several weeks or more. Insecticide dilutions can be used outside to successfully drench nests. Be sure to follow label recommendations for correct procedures when applying the insecticide. Ants that live (nest) inside your home.

  7. Yes, there are some types of ants that actually establish a nest inside your home instead of merely entering to forage for food and returning outdoors. Ants in this category may be present year round, although they will be more active in the warmer months. Ant species that may live in Nebraska homes include crazy ants, odorous house ants, pavement ants, pharaoh ants, thief ants, and carpenter ants. All of them may infest food products. Spraying a residual insecticide to control foraging workers may provide only short-term control. Even when over 99 percent of foraging workers are killed by insecticide sprays, the colony may rebuild to its original numbers. Location and total destruction of the nest is the most direct way to eliminate this infestation. Ant baits, described above, can again be a useful tool in eradicating inside-the-home ant nests, although baits may not work as well with carpenter ants as the other species mentioned. Again, workers must eat the bait, take it back to the nest, and feed to the queen and larval ants. This type of control is incompatible with treatments that prevent workers from returning to the nest with the bait. Unlike other home-inhabiting ants, carpenter ants cause structural damage to wood by tunneling and nesting inside wood structures. However, they rarely nest in sound wood, but consistently invade wood that has become wet and started to decay. Carpenter ants are large (about 3/8 to 1/2″ long) and black or red. The best way to control carpenter ants that inhabit a dwelling is to find the nest and destroy it. Insecticide sprays inside the home will kill some of the worker ants, but unless the entire nest is treated, the queen will continue to produce additional members of the colony. Locating a nest can be difficult because nests may be in locations within the walls or roof rafters. At this point, some homeowners may prefer to work with a professional pest control company. The most likely places to find carpenter ant nests are where wood has been wet and weathered, such as rotting timbers about the foundation, window sills, porches, around leaky plumbing, and in rafters under a leaky roof. Carpenter ants are most active in the evening hours foraging for all kinds of food, both inside the house and outside. By following them, you may be able to tell where the nest is. Because carpenter ants keep the tunneled galleries very clean and push the sawdust and dead insect parts out small holes in the wood, a small, fresh pile of sawdust under the nest timber is the usual sign of an active carpenter ant nest. Once a nest is found, treatment is usually easy with either an insecticide dust or spray. Injection of insecticide into wall voids or the nest itself may be necessary to insure complete control. To prevent further carpenter ant infestations, trim all trees and bushes so branches do not touch the house and correct moisture problems such as leaky roofs and plumbing. Paint and/or seal exposed wood construction before it becomes wet. Replace previously ant-infested wood, rotted, or water-damaged wooden parts of the structure and eliminate wood/soil contacts. Remove dead stumps on the property and store firewood off the ground and away from the structure. Carpenter Ant Queen Ants are a major annoyance to homeowners and are difficult to control. You should not underestimate the importance of good sanitation to eliminate food sources, although good sanitation may not control an ant infestation by itself. Although we do not like sharing our homes with these insects, they are beneficial organisms in the balance of nature. In nature, they greatly reduce the amount of dead and decaying plant and animal organic matter. They also aerate the soil with their nests. Many ant species have a fondness for honeydew that aphids produce from feeding on plants. Large numbers of ants crawling on a plant may be a sign of serious aphid infestation.

  8. Summary Ant infestations are not easy to control and different strategies should be used depending on nest location and food preferences. They can be controlled with a combination of good sanitation, removing pheromone trails, caulking entry points and eliminating active nests. Insecticide sprays and baits can be used to kill foraging ants and destroy nests, but strategies designed to prevent further infestations should be used in conjunction with chemical treatment. Petty Pest Control Services can provide households with ant extermination and ant control services in Toronto, Hamilton, Mississauga and the Niagara region in Ontario. Flea Extermination Service and Flea Control in Toronto Ridding a home of fleas can be a frustrating and costly endeavor which is why many would often turn to a flea extermination service for help. Unlike some pests encountered around the home, fleas cause discomfort and irritation to both pets and people. They account for more than half of all dermatological conditions requiring veterinary assistance, and even a single flea bite to a hypersensitive animal or person may cause intense itching and irritation. For successful flea control, the home, pet and oftentimes, the yard must be treated. Yet the manner in which these treatments are performed can greatly influence the results. The following information will help frustrated pet owners effectively rid their homes and pets of fleas. Essential Facts About Fleas Adult fleas (the biting stage seen by pet owners) spend most of their time on the animal, not in the carpet. This is why treatment of the pet in conjunction with the pet’s environment is an essential step in ridding a home of fleas. Adult fleas lay all of their eggs (up to 50 per day) on the pet. However, the eggs soon fall off the animal into carpeting, beneath the cushions of furniture, and wherever else the pet rests, sleeps or spends most of its time. This is where homeowners should focus control measures. After hatching, flea eggs develop into tiny, worm-like larvae. Larvae remain hidden deep in carpet fibers, beneath furniture cushions and in other protected areas. The larvae feed mainly on adult flea feces (dried blood) which accumulates, along with the eggs, in pet resting and activity areas. Before becoming adult fleas, the larvae transform into pupae within a silk-like cocoon. Pupae remain inside the cocoon for 2 to 4 weeks, sometimes longer. The cocoon is resistant to insecticides and this is why some adult fleas are seen for an extended period, even after the home and pet are treated.

  9. Treatment of Premises If you neglect to treat the pet’s environment (the premises), you will miss more than 90% of the developing flea population — the eggs, larvae and pupae. If the pet spends time indoors, the interior of the home should also be treated. Before treatment, the pet owner should:  Remove all toys, clothing, and stored items from floors, under beds, and in closets. This step is essential so that all areas will be accessible for treatment. Remove pet food and water dishes, cover fish tanks, and disconnect their aerators. Wash, dry-clean or destroy all pet bedding. Vacuum! — vacuuming removes many of the eggs, larvae and pupae developing within the home. Vacuuming also stimulates pre-adult fleas to emerge sooner from their insecticide-resistant cocoons, thus hastening their contact with insecticide residues in the carpet. By raising the nap of the carpet, vacuuming improves the insecticide’s penetration down to the base of the carpet fibers where the developing fleas live. Vacuum thoroughly, especially in areas where pets rest or sleep. Don’t forget to vacuum along edges of rooms and beneath furniture, cushions, beds, and throw rugs. After vacuuming, seal the vacuum bag in a garbage bag and discard it in an outdoor trash container. Insecticide Application – Once these pests become established in a home, insecticides are almost always needed to control them. Always read and follow label directions on the insecticide container. Other than the person performing the application, people and pets should be out of the house during treatment. People and pets should also remain off treated surfaces until the spray has dried. This may take several hours, depending on carpet type, ventilation and method of application. Opening windows and running the fan or air conditioner after treatment will enhance drying and minimize odor.     Many different products are available for home treatment. The most effective formulations contain both an adulticide (e.g., permethrin) effective against the biting adult stage, and an insect growth regulator (methoprene or pyriproxyfen), necessary to provide long-term suppression of the eggs, larvae and pupae. It is essential that the application be thorough and include all likely areas of flea development. Carpets, throw rugs, under and behind beds and furniture, and beneath cushions on which pets sleep should all be treated. Pay particular attention to areas where pets spend time or sleep, as these will be the areas where most flea eggs, larvae and pupae will be concentrated. For example, if the family cat sleeps within a closet, or hides under the bed, these areas must be treated or the problem will continue. Hardwood and tile floors generally do not require treatment, but should be thoroughly vacuumed. Expect to see some fleas for 2 weeks or longer following treatment. Provided all infested areas were treated initially, these “survivors” are probably newly emerged adults which have not yet succumbed to the insecticide. Instead of retreating the premises immediately, continue to vacuum. As noted earlier, vacuuming stimulates the insecticide-resistant pupae to hatch, bringing the newly emerged adults into contact with the insecticide sooner. Flea traps, such as those utilizing a light and glue board to attract and capture adult fleas, can be helpful but will not eliminate a flea infestation unless used in combination with other methods. If adult fleas continue to be seen beyond 2-4 weeks, retreatment of the premises (and pet) may be necessary. Pests can be quite difficult to eliminate from your home if you do it alone. Contact Petty Pest Control Services today if you are looking for a reliable flea extermination service in Toronto, Hamilton, Mississauga and the Niagara region.

  10. Skunk Removal in Toronto, Hamilton & Niagara Region There’s a reason why many individuals ask for immediate skunk removal in the Toronto, Hamilton & Niagara area. Read on to find out why. It‘s the dog owner’s biggest fear…. You let your dog out into the backyard, you hear some very noisy barking and maybe a yelp. You run back your door to let the dog in, and then it hits you! Your dog has just been sprayed by a skunk and he brought the smell inside! Contrary to popular belief, these small critters are not only nocturnal animals, they are actually more active at both dawn and dusk. It’s something to consider when you’re letting your dog outside. They are omnivorous, which means they’ll eat practically anything to survive. They’re not very fast, have extremely poor vision and rely upon their sense of smell to find food. Garbage, barbecue droppings and compost heaps will attract a skunk. Skunks do not climb, unless the climbing is easy, for example beside a fence with piles of wood beside it. Or they’ll use bushes that are easy to climb. Typically, a skunk will burrow underneath a shed or a deck, or take refuge in a window well. People tend to worry about skunks being rabid, however it’s typically not the case. Most other types of animals, with the exception of dogs, tend to stay away from skunks therefore the chance of skunks being bitten by a rabid animal is extremely rare. However, as a precaution, with any wild animal bite, we recommend that you go get the proper tetanus shot if it does happen. But if you’re that close to a skunk, let’s face it folks, you’re far more worried about being sprayed then being bitten. Skunks can spray quite accurately up to a distance of about 10 feet, that’s not to say they can spray further but this is where they can really aim. Their spray contains a chemical from the mercaptan family, which is also used in natural gas to let you know when there’s a leak. What does this mean to you? It means a very small amount stinks to high heaven and is very difficult to remove until it just wears off. We at Petty Pest Control Services use specialized opaque plastic traps for skunks. This allows us to approach the traps safely without fear of being sprayed. We then remove the skunk humanely and allow him to get on with his life without bothering you. Another facet of our approach is exclusion. Petty Pest Control Services will eliminate areas that skunks will burrow under so that you and your dog can enjoy your backyard (or for that matter your front yard). We dig far enough down (typically about 2 feet), install the mesh and refill the hole so that it will hit the mesh and not bother digging any further. If you do find a skunk in your home or near your area, you need to act fast. Contact us today for all skunk removal in Toronto, Hamilton, Mississauga, Guelph, Oakville and the Niagara region.

  11. Possum Removal in Hamilton, Toronto & Niagara Region Possum removal can be quite tricky and more often than not, families would call a professional to help get rid of them. Possums are native to Australia, New Guinea and Sulawesi not southern Ontario. However, they are here. Experts feel that they were introduced to the area in the 1960s. Possums tend to be roughly the size of a large house cat. Like our other friends the skunk or raccoon, possums are opportunistic omnivores, eating any kind of vegetation or meat that’s available. So as with our other pests, you can find them looking in your garbage or your compost heap or even in your barbecue. They are tremendous climbers and they will climb onto roofs and trees to get away from danger. Although I have never encountered them inside an attic, if there’s a hole there it’s not past the realm of possibility that they would take up residence inside your attic. It’s far more likely though to be a raccoon or squirrel. Do possums play dead? Yes, they do –this is not an old wives’ tale. I would not approach one that that looks dead, as there have been recorded incidents where someone has been bitten by a possum after picking it up thinking it was dead. And as we always recommend, if bitten by a wild animal you should always go get a tetanus shot. A lot of times they will take up residence underneath sheds, decks and abandoned burrows from other animals. Petty Pest Control Services will trap possums using chicken or sausage, then take the animal to a safe area where they will not bother you and we will not bother them. We also recommend exclusion work to ensure that no other animal or possum can get into your shed or under your deck. For assistance on possum removal in Hamilton, Toronto, Mississauga or the Niagara region, contact Petty Pest Control Services right now.

  12. Termite Exterminator and Termite Control in Toronto For your own home’s sake, termite control from a termite exterminator is crucial. As a pest, termites can be the most destructive of all the insects that can enter your home. If left unchecked, termites can literally eat the house from underneath you! Unless you carry special insurance, this can also leave you without a home! Termite damage on structural wood from home in Toronto July 2011 Close up of termites What is a termite? Termites are part of the same group of insects as cockroaches, and they feed on dead plant material, such as wood and soil. They are around the size of an ant although they move slower, and they are fatter and usually white in colour. And as small as they are, these insects have been known to build towers, hollow trees, move soil and destroy houses. They generally inhabit dark nests and tunnels. Some have wings and are a darker colour, and they are the ones that leave the nests to harvest food and to eventually start new colonies, while the termites that stay in the shelter are wingless and paler. The flying termites can shed their wings when they find a new nest, and the wings grow back when it is time to hunt for food once again. They feed on the cellulose that is in plant fiber. This is a rich energy source but is difficult to digest.

  13. Termites live in colonies that can have several hundred to several million termites living in the nest. A queen can lay as many as several thousand eggs in a day. They use swarm intelligence to gather their food, and within the colony there are several roles for the termites, including workers, soldiers, and breeders. The egg-laying queens are kept within the colony nest at all times. A female termite that has flown, mated and produced eggs is termed a ‘queen’, and there can be many queens within a colony. The male termite is usually the only one in the colony and mates with all of the queens to produce offspring. The termite workers are usually blind, as their eyes are undeveloped. They are responsible for creating the nest walls using soil, wood, and saliva. The soldier termites are used when ants attack, and they have an over-developed jaw to attack; yet this makes it difficult for them to eat, so the workers feed them. What do termites do? Termites can cause major structural damage to buildings, crops and plantation forests as they pick away at the wood fibers. They can go undetected for years, consuming the wood without people noticing until the structure is too severely damaged. These pests can also damage paper, cloth and carpets. Termites feed on materials, such as wood and cloth, yet they do not digest it. Rather they use most of their intake to build their colony nests and to protect themselves from sunlight and rain. They usually build their nests in the walls of houses, as there is a large amount of food nearby for them, and they can go undetected for years. What can you do to prevent termites? Insure that all deadwood (piles of firewood, dead trees etc.) are as far away from the home as possible. Inspect any decks, sheds or parts of your home that are made of wood for signs of tunneling or wood rot. If you suspect termites, it is imperative to take a proactive approach to this situation, as they will move from fences and trees into your home. If any of these situations are detected, please contact us immediately! How can PPC services help? PPC service professionals will come in and evaluate your home and surrounding area for termite infestation. Once it has been determined that termites do exist in your home, PPC will exclude the termites from your home by inserting a chemical rod into the surrounding soil (including the basement), as well as spraying down the wooden structure of the house. If you suspect greater damage, it is possible that sections of drywall may have to be opened up to be examined, and if necessary, chemically sprayed. If you think your home is infested by these pests, call us as soon as you can for termite control and termite extermination services to minimize any damage to your house structure.
