Snap Pest Control

Thank you for your review. Personal note : I will say it's been a tough year so far with mice. Toronto in particular, (with a special emphasis on semi detached homes) seems to be hit hard for some unexplainable reason. I've personally never seen semi detached homes have such an uptick in rodents. Rats and mice seem to be out of control no matter where you go, be it city or suburb or country. Mice in particular seem to be evolving strategically all over southern Ontario. Rodents that have adapted to not eating bait or get caught in traps were so abundant in homes this year that I'm certain there must be some explanation. My theory is that this phenomena is likely a result of climatic changes whereby the winters we've been having were milder than normal and as a result I feel that the mice were able to forage for food over a wider period of time and restock their reserves. This ability to access resources no doubt kept the mice at higher than normal reproductive ( in a home ) rates producing an extra generation within a dwelling. To me that extra generation fueled by an abundance of food has likely enabled overwintering rodents the ability to better grasp the homeowners' pest control efforts. I expect that this trend will only get worse as these smarter evolved mice pass on these avoiding behaviors' to their offspring. My advice is to focus on exclusion efforts and find the right exterminator because there is only one chance to remedy a mouse problem. Once those mice learn to avoid your baits and devices it spells certain doom for us exterminators to quickly resolve a rodent issue. These modern day mice are better equipped, smarter, and more determined than ever to stay alive. Back to the review. The home was tight all around but I had a suspicion in one particular area and so I worked the job backwards. My theory was that the mice had access via the West wall. Having excluded all other possible scenarios' I checked the basement ceiling tiles as they corresponded to this location accordingly. Removing the tiles one by one I could see that the droppings seemed more pronounced as I reached the theoretical point that I was looking for. I proceeded back outside and decided to look higher up at a suspicious location. The bricks in this area were a mixture of browns that did not lend themselves well to the existence of rodent rub marks. With the proper angle and a flashlight I could see a faint pathway of evidence which was almost invisible to the naked eye. The job itself consisted of ladder work, removal of roofing material, mesh installation, stainless steel wool, and silicone plus baiting and traps. The job, with all my time at deduction took 3 hours to complete. I really feel like I've made a difference in my clients lives and this makes it all worth while for me. Joe
