    Joe and Snap Pest Control are the best!

    I first found Joe on Home Stars a number of years ago and I'm so glad I did. He is honest, reliable, a good communicator, and just an overall great human. He has tons of experience dealing with many different pests and brings his knowledge to each situation to deal with it promptly and efficiently, without wasting your time or money. He has dealt with a number of different pest issues for us, always exceeding our expectations. These issues have included dealing with raccoons getting in under our home (and on another occasion, our neighbors home - he also helped them), rats getting in (gross), deterring raccoons from hanging out on our top deck, squirrels getting into the roof above our porch.... the list goes on. Clearly, animals like our house. We are very thankful for Joe. His number is on my speed dial for any pest issues and will remain there always! :) Thanks for your hard work, Joe!

    Answer from pro:

    Thanks guys. Downtown living sometimes requires a variety of skill sets in an exterminator. So happy that these challenges were dealt with for you guys. Thanks once again Joe.

    Outstanding Service

    Joe is amazing. I called Snap Pest Control and described the situation we are encountering with a wood chewed window sill in our basement bathroom. Joe immediately diagnosed the problem - over the phone - as powder post beetle and generously told us what to apply ourselves to get rid of any new infestation. We are so impressed with Joe's knowledge, expertise and generosity. I highly recommend Snap Pest Control.

    Answer from pro:

    I have seen this situation a few times in my career and could tell right away we were dealing with powder post beetles. Powder posts can surface it seems at any time and while they tend to be localized seem to appear out of thin air. Thus far I've noticed these beetles appear from baseboards,kitchen cabinets,window sills (bathroom basement window sills),and a custom hand rail. These beetles like large grains in wood like oak but somehow get into other woods as well. One should be careful about the wood they bring into their homes these days I guess.

    Squirrels.

    It sounded like these squirrels were having a party right outside our room. After a few more sleepless nights I just decided to call in the pros. Joe showed up on time, checked the opening and explained the situation. Super friendly guy, very honest, provided competitive pricing and more importantly I haven't heard a peep from the unwanted guests ever since. Save yourself the time and trouble of researching for other companies. Just go with Joe - highly recommended.

    Rat Issue

    Back in August of last year, I first noticed something jump off of the tall green compost bin in the garage. I let my father know who had bought some commercial-grade rat poison but never worried beyond that. Fast forward to December when things escalated and we suddenly started hearing scratching and gnawing sounds in the kitchen during the night. Shortly after, we started noticing bite marks on our smaller compost bin and eventually noticed a decently sized hole in an obscure part of the kickplate under the kitchen cupboard. Essentially, we had not one but had a few rats (as evidenced by the number and size of their droppings) came in from a hole in the garage. Even then, we were reluctant to call for help thinking we could handle it ourselves. We tried to use glue traps which ended up being totally useless. We finally caved and started the hunt for who to call. I was this close to going with a big business competitor I had seen commercials for until I stumbled upon Snap Pest Control during a quick Google search for pest control in the area. I am a person who takes reviews seriously - many times reviews are written to give the honest critiques about a product or service, so it is even more surprising when there are so many reviews raving about it instead. And I could not be happier that we went with Snap Pest Control. I felt embarrassed and quite frankly terrified that we had let our rat issue get to this point, but after speaking to Joe during the initial consultation and until our final appointment which was earlier this month, he put many of my worries at rest as he had a solid plan in place. Within the first 2 weeks of Joe proceeding with his work and even until this point, we have not heard any noises or seen any more droppings. Thanks again for all your help Joe!

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you for your review. This job was fairly straight forward in that it was based in the suburbs and entry was found via the garage door. Our brown suited friends had chewed a hole right through the drywall in a hidden corner and simply went into the basement. Had we been in Toronto where rats pop up through a sewer, or broken basement slabs, hidden behind a finished wall things would have been very different. The garage and basement were baited with an acute rodenticide which I know through experience that they will consume readily. We went with a tracking powder in the garage after every visit and when all signs of tracks were gone closed the access points. Be careful of using store bought baits on rats as they are just not acute enough and you will experience a horrid smell for 4 to 6 weeks if your lucky. Should a rat perish in an area where there is a steady moisture supply it can go on for a long time indeed. Joe

    Mice issue.

    Amazing customer service. My wife saw a mouse in our kitchen and was terrified. After calling a few companies we decided to use Titan. They showed up later that day, inspected our house and took care of our mouse problem. Thank you Titan.

    Mice control and extermination

    Joe did an excellent and thorough job dealing with a mouse infestation. You could tell he had a sharp and experienced eye for where the problem could be coming from and how to deal with it. The problem was 'cured' within a week.

    Very thorough, competitive and gets results!

    I want to give a huge shout out to Joe at Snap Pest Control who did a very thorough work and got us rid of our mouse problem. It was not a small problem - we had mice running across the living-room while we were watching TV or sometimes, even while I was cooking and moving around in the kitchen, I could see a mouse dash around. Once, as I was at my computer, a mouse bumped into my foot. But Joe did a thorough investigation, sealed all the spaces where the mice could get inside our house, and the spots where they were coming through, added some poison. Now, 6 weeks later, I haven't seen a mouse - or a mouse dropping, anywhere. To compare, I first called a competitor who just put some poison and said they couldn't seal off the holes, we had to do it ourselves. It was not cheap, but well worth the money. If you have an infestation problem, call Joe. He is also a no-nonsense, funny guy. I will never call anyone else for other infestations issues.

    Answer from pro:

    Thanks for your review. The rodent issue here was one of those downtown Toronto situations that can be tricky to solve. I remember getting to the home and it was raining and cold outside. Having conducted an interior inspection and then looking at the homes perimeter it then became apparent that some work needed to be done to seal off the exterior. The issue was that it was raining and cold outside and I needed at least 2 hours to get things boarded up properly. It was decided that to get this job done we needed to reschedule it so that work could be done well with good working conditions. One access point was under a deck which was so narrow that I had to contort myself to get in there. I was completely covered in raccoon crap (thank you coveralls), wet, cold, and contorted to a point where I felt as if I had been kicked in the ribs and had to take shallow breaths for a few days because of the sharp pain I was feeling. The fact is, that it needed to be done to ensure long term results for my client. I could have easily did what her previous company did which was to bait the home down on my first visit but I have to sleep at night so I rescheduled the job in order to do it properly. My client understood the need to wait a little and in the end what is one extra week when these mice have been around for years at the house with no results. Just another day in my adventures.
