Got the job done when other companies failed
We had an on-again, off-again mouse problem at our semi-detached in Toronto for MONTHS and two different companies just kept coming in, laying some bait traps, and telling us to be patient. I knew we could do better, and based on other enthusiastic reviews, decided to try Snap Pest Control. Joe actually assessed the situation - walked around the property perimeter, moved the fridge and oven and used a scope to see behind them, and bingo! He figured out how the mice were getting in, something neither of the big-name companies bothered to do. He sealed it up and the mice were gone. We were thrilled! Then, a few weeks later, they exploited another entry point - but no problem, Joe came back again, helped us to identify and seal that up too...and did so at no extra charge. Highly recommend this more thoughtful, targeted approach to pest control. Sure, traps and bait are part of the solution. But Joe is like a pest sleuth - he really knows what he's doing. Highly recommended.

Thank you for the review.
Mice issues in semi- detached houses are always challenging for me because of the potential access between houses. I always want to know whether the Niehbours are experiencing a problem next door. In my experience if the Niehbours have an issue at the same time that my clients do then we might have an access situation which may warrant further investigation. The following is an example which occurred last year in the Danforth area of Toronto last year. I received a call from my client regarding an on going mouse issue in her semi detached home which had be going on for many years. Seems the mice were now avoiding the traps and not even getting caught on the traps anymore. I asked about the Niehbours and it was appears that they also had a problem. The people next door were using an exterminator on and off for a few years and managing the problem yet the issue had now reached a new level and mice were freely running around in the daytime. To me when mice are running around in the daytime the population is either high or they just came into a house and are just as surprised to see us as we are them. The Niehbours although reluctant to lose their existing company decided it was time for second opinion and I consequently took on the job at both homes. This works well because I could compare notes without having to rely on the another independent exterminator. I knew there was a problem when I found out the other exterminator had never even bothered to conduct an exterior inspection. So I put on some coveralls, grabbed a flashlight light, grabbed my drill and a shovel and removed some boards ( thank god for the cover-all's because I was a real mess ). Both houses were checked and sure enough I found the access point. I was thrilled, took photos, and both clients were elated to finally have an answer to the on infestation. Two hours and 90 % of the problem was resolved with closing the area down a little mesh and cement . Now the other 10 % was dealing with the locked in mice. The mouse problem took a year to resolve with two follow up visits and varying baits.
