Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about pest control in Ontario.
How quickly can you come for pest control in Ontario?
expand_more
We offer same-day service for urgent pest situations across the GTA and Southern Ontario. For standard bookings, we typically arrive within 24–48 hours. Call 289-925-9405 to confirm availability in your area.
Are your pest control treatments safe for children and pets?
expand_more
Yes. We use hospital-grade, eco-safe treatments carefully selected for minimal impact on humans and animals. Our technicians will advise you on any short-term precautions — such as staying out of a treated room for 1–2 hours — before work begins.
What pests do you treat in Ontario?
expand_more
We treat bed bugs, mice, rats, cockroaches, wasps, hornets, bees, ants (including carpenter ants), spiders, centipedes, silverfish, and more. We do not treat wildlife (raccoons, squirrels, skunks, etc.) — a wildlife removal specialist handles those.
How long does a pest control treatment take?
expand_more
Most standard treatments take 30–90 minutes. Bed bug treatments may take 4–8 hours. Rodent exclusion with full perimeter sealing typically takes 2–4 hours. Your technician will give you a time estimate during the initial inspection.
Do I need to leave my home during treatment?
expand_more
For most treatments, you can remain in untreated areas. For full-room chemical treatments (cockroaches, bed bugs), we recommend vacating those rooms for 2–4 hours. For heat treatments, you and your pets must leave the property for the duration. Your technician will give specific instructions before starting.
What is the 100% Sanctuary Guarantee?
expand_more
If pests return between scheduled visits, we come back and re-treat at no additional charge. We stand fully behind every treatment we perform — your peace of mind is non-negotiable.
How do I know if I have bed bugs?
expand_more
Common signs include rust-coloured stains on bedding, tiny dark spots (excrement) along mattress seams, a sweet musty odour, and itchy bites in a line or cluster on your skin. If you suspect bed bugs, do not move mattresses or furniture between rooms — call us immediately to book an inspection.
