Snap Pest Control reviews (495)

This typical Toronto home posed many challenges. Such a small house yet it still took me hours and hours to source out the entry area. Baiting alone could never solve the problem and access issues (semi-detached home) made the situation even more interesting. The job was a process and I am happy with the outcome.Joe

Thanks for your review. A tricky job however with careful planning it worked out well. Joe

Thanks guys. Your business is much appreciated.Joe

This was a tricky job and executed without having to remove a lot of so-fit. Thanks again Joe

Thanks and so glad I could help

Thanks for your review. The key here is that I vacuum the wasps out so that the risk of them entering a home are lessened dramatically. This method takes longer however I can sleep a night knowing that 95% percent of them have be removed offsite. Joe

Thanks for your review. Wasp season is among us and it is going to be interesting. The effects of this summers heat and lack of rain may stress out wasp nests. I will keep you posted .Joe

Thank you for the review. Upon arriving at the home I noted that there were many dead carpenter ants right at the front door. Knowing that two previous companies had sprayed the homes exterior it was peculiar to see so many dead bodies concentrated in one area. The issue was that I was staring at a concrete foyer and a nest was sure to be nearby. In my termite operations I have often found that poured concrete wooden forms are usually left in place by builders. Plywood as is most often found in the forms themselves is readily consumed by termites. A quick look directly under the front porch ( cold cellar ) verified to me that carpenter ants were nesting in the plywood form. An experiment was conducted whereby water was poured down the wall by my client while I was downstairs and sure enough liquid was seen spiraling downward into the cold cellar. As the two previous companies sprayed copious amounts of chemicals randomly around the homes exterior some insecticide did seep down into the plywood and managed to kill a few ants which died near the front door. The issue however was not resolved because the ants which were unaffected were numerous and the access to the cold room was still readily available. With 1 tube of silicone the 4 foot span of the upper wall was rendered water and ant proof. The escape routes were dusted and the ant issue is now resolved. Finding the source of the problem and sealing it for good has put a stop to what would have been a lingering carpenter ant issue at my clients home. As an exterminator the mistakes which were made here are the result of improper inspections and an inability to fully grasp the the consequences of the spray applications themselves. Had the exterminator simply waited and understood the consequences of his or her spraying activities they may have then been able to discover the nest location with respect to the emerging ants. The issue is that by the time the spray is over they are rushing to the next job and not seeing the results of their actions. Having to return however, over and over to respray the home results in added frustration and spending even more time to resolve the issue. Finally,the possibility that the ants now will spread and explore even more locations in a home is more likely.Joe

Thank you for your kind review. I enjoyed the challenge of locating the root cause of this issue. Doing the job correctly involves a thorough inspection of a home and anything less only prolongs an issue and or creates a lingering mouse problem. Mice by the way are now making their way back into homes as we speak.Just this week there has been an increase in mice calls. As the days grow shorter(Early August) mice will create or find openings to a home. Rodents are now in storing mode and are actively engaged in stockpiling for the winter. Mice know that the cold will come and instinctively are preparing themselves.Joe

Thanks all around for your review. These pests have been on the move lately and it was wise to think proactively. This turned out to be a big job. We will monitor the progress throughout the year.Joe
