Carpenter Ants in Skylight Wood
After finding piles of sawdust accumulating on the couch beneath a skylight I was worried I had termites. I was fortunate enough to stumble upon Pesticon using google (I had yet to discover this site) and Waheed assured me over the phone that they were carpenter ants, since apparently termites don't leave sawdust as they consume the wood completely. He was right - not surprising since he has a degree in entomology!
It was easy to make an appointment with him in the next few days and he was very friendly and discrete, swept everything up when he was done, and left me some little traps of poisoned food for any ants that might still be lingering. All this for $300 plus tax.
A month later when the ants tried to make a comeback he was able to come back within a day of my phonecall and do a follow-up treatment for free (he has a 6 month guarantee). He recommended I replace the skylight since the wood is rotting and has offered to come the day I get it replaced to spray behind the wood - once again, all for free.
He is absolutely conscientious, trustworthy and wonderful. It's no wonder he's been featured in the Toronto Star AND Toronto Life magazine in the last year, he truly is Toronto's bugbusting superhero!
