Carpenter Ant problem

Joe, we can't thank you enough for your very profesional services. You are the best! We really appreciate all the time you took, both times you came to our house, to really look and find the cause of the problem with the carpenter ants we had. You spent so much time observing these ants and seeing where they come from in order to get to the bottom of the problem. We have two young daughters so Joe was extremly carring and took care of the ants without just spraying chemicals everywhere. It is so nice to have found Joe and know that he is one phone call away to solve all our wildlife or pest issues. We have used his servies twice and I am sure we will again. He is the best out there, extremely knowledgeable, very profesional, careful, carrying and gives you all the advice you need to know and even more, and never rushes you. The best without a doubt. Joe, thank you! Amazing services!

Thanks guys for the great review. This issue manifested itself initially in the winter months. Sluggish carpenter ants were being found in various rooms of the house. I've seen this countless times before and knew full well that the problem really started the previous summer. It is important to understand that ant jobs are about observation and timing. In nature ants tend to forage and navigate via established pheromone trails. Trails are invisible and can last for years on a structure. Therefore, logically speaking it becomes important to erase the trail starting from its source. The primary nest with the queen could be in neighbors back yard or across the street in a park. In this particular case I was able to establish the source as well as erase the trail leading to the home. The issue was dealt with without randomly spraying chemicals everywhere in the hopes that they would just go away. Just because one does not see ants by the way doesn't mean the problem has been solved. These ants work in the early morning going to and fro while we are all sleeping . I educated my clients in what to look for if and when they should reappear. Thanks again, Joe

Raccoon problem

If I could I'd give Joe a 12 out of 10. We've got a family of 3 raccoons living under our kitchen and sunroom and couldn't find their point-of-entry. After a thorough inspection Joe found a tunnel from our neighbour's house under the alley to our house! He gave us plenty of tips and helpful advice so this doesn't happen again. If it does -- or any other critter issues pop up -- we'll be sure to call him first!

I was amazed too. I looked at the house and thought there was only one possible way they could be getting into that extension. Sure enough the little bears had dug a tunnel from one neighbors extension across and under a walkway and into my clients boarded up extension. I'm talking about a detached home and a tunnel that was 20 feet away. The clincher for me was the raccoons ripped off the vent underneath and created a little air conditioned rent free living space. I knew they were up to something when I saw the a/c blowing under there. I had seen this scenario before except in the reverse during the winter of last year. I reinstalled the vent and we told the neighbor to board up his space and this job was finalized. Thanks again,Joe

Termite extermination

We had discovered that our house had been infested by termites and as you can imagine, I was very distraught. I was referred to Joe from Snap Pest Control and I cannot say enough about his ability to make this situation right!! His calming words allieviated much of the anxiety I was experiencing. His service was honest and forthcoming, right down to the calculations for the amount of chemical we needed. He has made this very stressful time easier. I had "big name" companies quote twice the price without offering all the additional service that Joe offers.

Thank you Joe!! You are the best!!

Thanks for the great review. I'm always amazed at the far reaching potential of subterranean termites. A shelter tube created by the termites was seen protruding from a basement ceiling one day by my clients.They were fortunate enough to have called a local pest control company run by one of my mentors. He took one look and knew right away that the problem was termite related. The plan was to remove portions of the affected ceiling and walls to ascertain an entry point as well as develop a plan of action. I removed a 2 x 6 that was butted up against the bottom portion of a wall and discovered an used electrical box that was cut into the cinder block foundation. It was clear that the termites were entering via this spot but since the rest of the home was finished it was decided to treat all affected wood by cross drilling with a borate. I made calculations and the slab and exterior were treated with a termitcide with excellent soil bonding properties. Water issues were also addressed and a follow up visit in 6 months was arranged where the still exposed wood (showed no signs) was retreated as insurance.

Bedbug extermination

People weren't kidding when they said Joe was the guy to go to. He was very helpful and friendly from the first moment I called to the last moment when he left. Explained to me everything that I needed to know in detail and did not hesitate to answer any of my questions. Came to my place on time and started working right away. He looked at every nook and cranny possible and didn't miss one spot. I know that cause I was there watching him lol. He spent a good 6 hours at my place making sure that everything that needs to be done has been done. Most places that I've called has said they will be there doing the same job but at a fraction of the time which makes me think, are they just rushing through my house just to get to the next job? Probably and most likely. Joe made sure to book a day with me where he could actually spend most of the day to go through everything thoroughly and not try to fit me in between jobs like the other companies would (ie. Orkin, Royal Forest, etc.). Because it was bedbugs it required a lot to do to get rid of and preventing them from coming back. A quick spray here and there won't do any good and that's what some of these other guys are doing. Anyway I'm just rambling on here but bottom line, Joe's work was beyond my expectations and I know that he will for sure be my, as well as my family and friends, go to guy for all my pest related needs. Thanks again Joe.

Thanks for the review. I must admit that bed bug jobs are particularly challenging and require a systematic approach to become successful. There are no standardized way that bed bugs are tackled. I personally like to conduct a long inspection then plan my treatment accordingly. These jobs take time and a lot attention to detail. A bed bug job can yield poor result's and even spread to non infected areas quickly. Better to leave these particular jobs to a professional or a continued re - infestation can become a true reality for a home-owner.

Racoon Removal

I have been having some serious issues with racoons. I reached out to Snap and they were there within the day. Over 5 days they captured and cured my racoon problem. They were knowledgeable, professional and courteous. They went over and beyond to take the necessary steps to safeguard the location where the racoons were living so we wouldn't have the same issue again.
Thanks Snap!

Raccoon Removal from the attic

We heard noises from our attic and one evening saw a raccoon peeping out from a gap made the raccoon. Joe came even on the Mothers' Day! He recommended to wait 3 weeks as he was concerned that there could be raccoon babies too small to walk through the one-way gate. We waited for 3 weeks and the whole process was handled professionally and he always thought of the best alternative advantageous to us. He went into the attic and found the babies but did not see the mother, He had to come back with some cages to trap the mother but failed and finally installed a one-way gate and after making sure that the mother was gone he wired the hole. He even showed us ways to prevent this happening again! Thank you Joe.

Thanks for the review. Raccoon mothers can be unpredictable depending upon their experience. This seasoned mother wasn't going into any trap so the babies were placed in a lined cardboard box outside.Joe

Squirrel problems in a townhouse attic

Joe is a really good solution provider in terms of the overall cost and long-term effect. This is a townhouse in row which means 4 neighbours all sharing the same connected attic. I was told that the cost would be $250 to put a single-way gate on the hole over my unit on the phone. However, after Joe came up to the roof, checked and evaluated the damage and potential issues. He advised that I only need to pay him 100 dollars to buy the gate with the installation. If other neighbour found the hole on their side, I can lend the gate to them in order to drive the squirrel out, and patch the holes by ourselves. This is a fantastic long run idea instead of one-time fix for a few days as the squirrels may find another access through other neighbour's roof. Thank you very much Joe for your honesty and expertise!!!

I highly recommend his company. Very reasonable price as well

Mice and Squirrel problems

Hi,

I first met Joe when I had a problem with mice in 2009 after having some work done in my basement. At random I just chose to contact Snap Pest Control and Joe made an appointment to see me immediately. After a walk around the house to try to determine where the mice were making entry into the house, he immediately went to work in blocking off areas that he thought they could make entry. He then entered the house and again had a look around at the cupboard areas and other places where he showed me where the mice were running around. Bait and traps were set in spaces in the house where he thought they may be hiding and within a two week period, my mice problem was under control. In early May 2012 another problem arose where squirrels were making entry into my basement and knowing how pleased I was with Joe's service after the mice problem, I contacted him again although I was not sure that squirrels were his specialty, but he came right away and he discovered that the problem was that the squirrels were gaining entry through my chimney which did not have a covering. He ensured that the area was covered with wire mesh and returned a week later to do the final covering with a piece of sheet metal.

Our problem is now solved and I would like to take this opportunity to say how reliable and dependable Joe has been to deal with these problems that we had over the years. I would also like to say that his price range was very acceptable

Ant infestation

Ants were eating their way into my house through the baseboards. Snap drilled holes in my lower walls and applied some insecticide. They patched up the holes which didn't end up being very noticeable. They also applied some gel outside where the ants seemed to be entering, and sprayed around the windows, doors and foyer. They offered to return in the spring to conduct a re-treatment if necessary. The service was excellent and the results were good so I was fully satisfied.
