    Urgent call!!!

    I called Joe when I started hearing scratching in my crawlspace under my kitchen. He was recommended to me by a good friend. I was pretty sure I had rats, and Joe helped me confirm my fear. He inspected my place, showed me where I needed to seal off the house, and he put bait out where it couldn't harm my pets. When I found a rat in my house and called him in a panic, he got right back to me. He also followed up a week and a half later to see how things were going. I would totally recommend him. He's a fair guy and will be a good listener and do his best to help you with pests or vermin removal.

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you for your review. I hate rats the most simply because they are one of the toughest pests to track down and eliminate. The stories I have of them could fill many books. In fact there were times when I've had to gut whole basements in order to finally seal them out. Rat jobs are difficult to price for me simply because they dig into a home. Rats are known to have emerged from drains, open concrete basement slabs, crawlspaces,vents,toilets,poor foundations etc etc. They are a process and cannot be dealt with by setting a few traps and laying down poison. Not dealing with the root cause of a rat issue only leads to dead rats in walls, the smell of droppings and urine, chewed water lines ( pex pipes ), mites, fleas, or even house fires. I take rats seriously.

    Remediation of extensive termite problem.

    Joe and Dominic were referred to us to deal with our specific termite problem. Joe and Dominic did a full inspection of the house and surrounding area and we planned a full remediation using soil injection. Joe and Dominic have extensive knowledge on pest control and in specific on termites. Joe and Dominic showed up on time and completed the work in an excellent manner. They went above and beyond to remediate the problem in the best manner possible. They were well prepared and have excellent equipment to inject the chemical solution with high pressure into the ground, so that the complete house is protected. Excellent quality and a pleasure to work with Joe and Dominic. Thanks !

    Answer from pro:

    Thanks for your review. Termites are one of the toughest pests to manage and control. Considered to be a silent menace in a home termites can be seen all over Ontario. The pest itself poses many challenges and pricing and treatments vary from one job to another. Simply treating a home with chemical deterrents alone without dealing with underlying causes can result in disaster. Dominic worked with our client and was able to develop a strategy based on his extensive knowledge of construction. A 36 inch drill bit was used to loosen any surrounding soil which enabled the rod to get as close to the footing as possible which gave us an excellent barrier saturation. At one point we even could see many dead termites oozing from the homes paved asphalt driveway.

    Mouse Removal

    As a mother of a newborn, I was quite upset to discover that we had a mouse problem. Joe's service was prompt and efficient. He immediately put my mind at ease by sealing up possible entry points and putting baits in locations that my baby and toddler would not have access. Because he was so thorough at sealing up entry points, there was no evidence of further activity when he came for a follow up appointment. He was even kind enough to offer to come again in the fall to ensure there is nothing new happening at that point. Thanks, Joe!

    Answer from pro:

    Thanks for the review. Its has been almost 3 months with no activity at all in the home. This makes me happy. Mice issues can be tricky even though they are locked out. I will conduct 1 more follow visit in October as added insurance. The fact that there was no evidence at this time of the year though is reassuring.Joe

    Pest Control- Mice

    I had a big problem with mice entering my townhouse. That is when I called Joe. Joe was quick to respond and took his time to understand the problem and the situation on hand. Joe ensured he fixed the root cause by closing out all entry points inside and out so that the mice could not come in again. Its been almost two years and I have not seen the mice in my house again! I would recommend Joe to anyone who has a pest issue!

    Answer from pro:

    Thanks for your review. Two years and no mice, now that is what I like to hear. Only through a proper inspection and the closure of entry points can a mouse issue be be solved for good. This makes me very happy indeed. Joe

    Pest removed

    Over-run with bats. Joe of Snap Pest Control came very quickly, found their entry point and took care of the issue. He put in a one so they could get out but not get back in. We were very impressed. He is very personable, polite and I was very comfortable with him and very pleased. I would recommend him 100%

    Answer from pro:

    Thanks guys. I needed a change from wasps and mice and luckily this bat issue came across my lap. The farm had many bats and the inspection process involved getting an accurate reading on the sheer number of bats, along with their access and exit schedule. They had a routine and a good 46 of them were gone by 8:15 at night. Like clock work once the bats were out and accounted for I installed a bat cone in the dark. The cone was left in place for a solid month and I am happy to report that the bats have moved on.

    Mice problems

    Joe is professional, knowledgeable and very personable. He went above and beyond and truly has a passion for what he does. I knew I hired the right guy the moment I spoke with him. He didn't just rush through he spent the time to thoroughly inspect our house to find the root of the problem, sealed then baited the entire house. I would definitely recommend Joe and would be the only guy I would call if I had pests in my house again.

    Answer from pro:

    Thanks guys. Good to know that this problem is solved.

    10 stars! Above-and-beyond service from Joe

    While tackling home renovations and opening up some walls, we discovered evidence of a frightening pest issue. It was like a dramatic scene out of an HGTV show. In a panic, we called multiple companies and had a few estimates. Most companies automatically gave us the worst-case-scenario and developed invasive, expensive plans without conducting a thorough investigation of the affected area. Joe was referred to me by another company. As of our first conversation over the phone, I knew Joe was different. He took the time to ask me direct questions to figure out exactly what was happening. He was very assuring, straight-forward, and patient. I even sent him photos via e-mail for him to give me his opinion. When he came over to view the affected area, he did a thorough investigation of the entire home. He asked us a ton of questions to determine what had happened, and why. Joe works with you to pinpoint the exact reason behind the problem, and finds a targeted solution. Joe does not base his business model around FEAR, which is exactly what most companies do. He truly is not there to just take your money. He is there to ease your worry, and help find a solution, if one is even necessary. Joe does not create or exaggerate problems to scare the homeowner. He is there to fix the root of the problem. He does not offer a generalized option which oftentimes does not solve the problem. Hopefully we never need to call Joe again, but if we have any more problems, he's already on my speed dial as my go-to.

    Answer from pro:

    Thanks for the review. The job required an inspection to determine the best treatment options available. I see no reason to instill fear in people in order to generate more money. This is wrong and done solely for profit which in the end will not solve a pest issue. Throwing large amounts of money at a pest issue which has not been properly inspected and planned out will not work. An example of this is on an earlier long review in which a client had contacted another company in order to deal with a nagging mouse issue. Having spent over $3500 to completely seal inaccessible areas to mice proved to be completely useless. The issue according to this company was that mice were climbing the vertical walls and slipping underneath so-fit in order to access the home. The so-fit and walls were tight and the home was surrounded by vinyl siding which mice could never climb without sliding off. They missed one spot in the garage which was sealed by me with 2 dollars worth of stainless steel wool.

    Mice problem

    To my horror and dismay, I discovered that mice had somehow made entrance to my home. Joe is a seasoned professional; he completed a through assessment of my house and blocked & baited potential areas of entries. Since then, I have not seen any more evidence of mice. Thank you Joe!

    Thanks for your review. Happy to finally put an end to the mice problem. Joe

    Second Followup Visit

    I contacted Joe to come by and do a Followup in my attic to see if the mice activity slowed down since his last visit a year ago and he came by on Tuesday as planned. He looked in the attic and gave me an update that the mice activity has decreased and it doesn't appear to be problem at this time. I was relieved that he came by and checked it out and he said if there was any further concerns to call him for a service call. Thanks again for the Followup Joe. I appreciate your help.!

    Pest problem

    Joe gets the job done. He is professional, personable and fair. I had a persistent mouse problem for many years. Over the years I retained several pest control companies to address the issue. They all baited my home but did not conduct much of an investigation into the root causes of the problem. Joe thoroughly checked my home inside and out, even getting on a ladder to check the upper areas of the outside of my house. His inspection lasted almost 3 hours. He determined the issue to be a hole in the wall of my home. He baited my home, I sealed the hole and I no longer have a mouse problem. I have already recommended Joe and would not hesitate to do so again.

    Answer from pro:

    The process was exhausting to say the least. The semi detached nature of this older Victorian home had me inspecting my clients neighbors house as well. Only with the use of a ladder was I able to source the entry into the home. I could not explain it however I was drawn to the location by a small mound of maple keys at the base of a tree. This home is now rodent free. I know this because of the duration ( 2 years of monitoring ) of the job. Thanks again
