When It's Not One Thing — It's Everything
Sometimes homeowners deal with a mix of pests, or aren't sure what they're seeing. General pest control covers the full spectrum of nuisance and invasive insects common to Winnipeg homes — from spiders and silverfish to earwigs, centipedes, boxelder bugs, and more.
Even when individual pests seem minor, an active infestation inside your home signals a point of entry and the right conditions for pests to thrive. Addressing the problem properly means identifying why they're there — not just killing what's visible.
Common Pests We Treat
- Spiders: Most Winnipeg spiders are harmless but can become a nuisance in large numbers. We treat harborage areas and web-building sites.
- Silverfish: Moisture-loving insects that damage paper, books, and clothing. Often a sign of high humidity in basements or bathrooms.
- Earwigs: Invade from outdoors in spring and summer. Often found in basements, bathrooms, and damp areas.
- Centipedes & Millipedes: Typically come in from the garden and foundation. Centipedes feed on other insects — their presence often indicates another pest problem.
- Boxelder Bugs: Seasonal invaders that gather on the south-facing walls of Winnipeg homes in fall, seeking overwintering spots.
- Crickets & Clover Mites: Common late-summer and fall invaders that enter through gaps in foundations and window frames.
- Fleas: A major problem in homes with pets. Require treatment of the pet, bedding, carpets, and cracks in hardwood floors.
Our Approach
- Inspection: We identify the pest(s) present, assess the severity, and determine how they're entering and where they're sheltering.
- Treatment: We apply targeted residual insecticides to entry points, baseboards, cracks, and harborage areas. Application methods depend on the pest species and the areas affected.
- Perimeter Treatment: We treat the exterior foundation, window frames, and door thresholds to stop pests before they enter.
- Prevention: We identify structural gaps, moisture problems, and other attractants, and advise on remediation steps to reduce future pressure.
