​You probably wouldn’t be surprised to learn that ants are some of the most common household pests throughout the world. Frustrated homeowners know that ants always seem to reappear, over and over again, no matter how many are killed. Ant problems make up a large percentage of the calls made to pest control companies. Hiring a professional from GTA Toronto Pest Control is a valuable part of your ant control in Toronto, and now we want to help you learn some of the other things you can do to get rid of ants. 

Like most pest problems, ant control must begin with prevention efforts. Ant prevention needs to take place both inside and outside of your home for it to be effective. It must also focus on eliminating the three things that will attract ants to your home: food, water, and shelter. 

​The majority of pest problems begin when pests enter homes in search of food, water, and shelter. Just like us, rodents, spiders, and insects will seek out a warm, safe environment that provides for their needs. Unfortunately, our homes are a perfect fit. If you want to keep these pests from coming into your home, there are often repairs and improvements that need to be done to the exterior of the building to prevent access. These are known as exclusion efforts. Start these exclusion efforts by learning how to seal the exterior of your home.

​Pest control companies are fairly widespread and available.  There are so many that there obviously must be a need for them.  The fact is, there is a strong need for them.  With health hazards and potential destruction caused by pests, there needs to be an equalizing force that contends with infestations and insect and rodent problems.  No matter the pest, once indoors, most can spread bacteria and disease as they crawl through your cupboards, on countertops and over floors where feces and urine left behind can harm anyone, especially children as they roll around...

​In the past couple of years, bed bugs and carpenter ants have proven to be the worst pests creating problems for Toronto and area residents and business owners.  Canada's bed bug problem has been worsening since 2013 and they are multiplying in Canadian cities and communities across the country. According to Global news, pest control experts claim frequency of bed bug reports has shot up 20 per cent from 2013 to 2014 and it continues to happen currently at that rate.  These parasites are aggressive reproducing monsters; they continue to reach farther and wider.  And there is no indication that the spread and increase in incidents will slow down.
