Rats and the Pandemic

6/30/2020

 
Rat Exterminator Toronto
​Everyone knows there are rats in Toronto. Most people are fortunate enough not to have had to deal with them, but for those that have, it can be a nightmare. There are several varieties of rats in Toronto. The most common are the roof rat and the Norway Rat.  Rats are not a pleasant pest to look at and they can also transmit diseases. If you notice a rat call GTA Toronto Pest Control and we will get on with the eradication. Norway rats live in burrows or at ground level and roof rats, as their name may suggest, live in trees or your roof. They may eventually move in as it gets cold outside.

​Rodents carry many diseases that can be passed to humans, but luckily, most of them are fairly rare. These diseases are transmitted through either direct or indirect contact with rodents. Direct contact may include: touching or breathing in feces or urine, eating contaminated food, handling a carcass, or receiving a bite. Indirect diseases are transmitted by a vector like a flea, tick, or mite.

​Rats are much less picky when it comes to food. Rats are scavengers that have been known to eat everything from meat and grain to garbage and sewage. Norway rats, in particular, are often found in sewers and landfills. To avoid rats and mice, keep your yard free from food, trash, and debris. It is also a good idea to keep pet food and water inside at night so that you don’t attract

Pest Spotlight: The Norway Rat

3/7/2019

 
​The Norway rat, also known as the brown rat, common rat, or sewer rat, is a constant problem in urban areas across the world. Although it was once thought to have originated in Norway, researchers now believe this species started in China and was able to migrate to every continent, except Antarctica.

​​Norway Rat Behavior

Norway rats are nocturnal creatures with very good hearing and a great sense of smell. They are also excellent swimmers, climbers, and burrowers. This species of rat generally lives underground in burrows or in cellars or sewers. Norway rats are omnivores, meaning that they eat both plants and meat. Although they usually consume a lot of grain in their diet, they will eat almost anything if needed.
One of the most difficult things about Norway rats is that they can reproduce extremely quickly. Small infestations can grow rapidly if not handled properly. One female Norway rat can have up to 14 pups per litter with upwards of 5 litters per year.

Time For A Pest Control Overview

10/3/2018

 
Picture
​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...

Ants and mice infestation in Toronto and southern ontario
​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.
