FAQ

No, the entire treatment space and all its contents need to reach the above temperatures to fully eliminate the bed bugs. Contents absorb heat, and the more clutter or furniture in a space, the more heat will be required. Once the room reaches the target temperature, the contents should be moved around to ensure heat reaches every cooler spot. We recommend strategic placement and the use of high-temperature, high-velocity air movers for optimal heat penetration and to eliminate cool spots.

All chemicals, cleaners, bleach, water and pesticides can be harmful if not used correctly. Pest management professionals are taught and trained on the proper placement of materials, based on the pest’s biology and habits, to get the desired results.

Everyone is at risk for getting bed bugs. Anyone who travels often and/or shares living and sleeping accommodations has a higher risk of being bitten and/or spreading a bed bug infestation. Bed bugs are known to “hitch” rides on people, travel luggage, household items and pets.

Cleaning and de-cluttering the interior and exterior of your home, including around garbage bins and composters, will help deter mice.

Sanitation is the single most important measure of control in getting rid of a mouse and rat problem. Mice & Rats must have access to a ready supply of food and water to thrive and a harbourage to nest. To reduce the population, try the following sanitation measures:

• Store any bulk food items in large metal containers with tight-fitting lids, rather than bags or boxes that can easily be gnawed through.

• Keep dog food or other pet food stored in a Rubbermaid container overnight.

• Remove clutter such as paper and cardboard that these pests might use to build their nests

• Remove grass clippings and yard debris near the structure

• Trim up shrubs and bushes so they do not touch your home and so you can see beneath them

• Store firewood away from the structure

• Pick up fruit and nuts that fall from trees

There is no need to worry about ants in the home, as these pests pose no threat to your health. If ants continue to return, even after multiple "do-it-yourself" treatments, it is best to contact a pest control specialist.

Nesting ants that enter your house to forage for food aren't too much of a problem. They can crawl up vertical surfaces and get in through some pretty tiny holes. But, the ants you see in your kitchen, may have come from a colony within your walls, in which case you might kill a few worker ants using a "do-it-yourself" method, but probably won't harm the colony.

If earwigs have made their way inside your home, you may be able to spot them around windowsills or doorframes, along baseboards, under kitchen or bathroom sinks, and in crawl spaces. During this time, they will typically emerge from hiding at night to find food. Your first line of defence for keeping these pincer bugs out of your home is to practice effective exclusion techniques—keep your lawn free of excess mulch and thatch, eliminate unused piles of wood, and maintain a working drainage solution to reduce the time the surface of your lawn stays damp.

Check for any cracks and crevices in your home’s perimeter that could serve as entry points for earwigs or other unwanted insect pests. Sealing these points will help keep earwigs out when they begin to seek shelter indoors.

Keeping spiders out of your home or business is important to most people. You can help stop these occasional invaders by keeping up general maintenance and sanitation around the structure which will reduce the chance that spiders would find the area favorable in the first place.

Getting rid of mosquitoes in the yard during warm seasons will usually include sanitation, removing standing water and liquid insecticide applications every 30-60 days. Following the treatment plan will help keep mosquitoes to a minimum and will allow you to use your outdoor areas without constant mosquito bites. While it is unrealistic to expect 100% control of all mosquitoes, you can expect to reduce the mosquito population to a manageable level that will allow you and your family to enjoy your yard.

Getting rid of pigeons on your own isn’t easy. These pest birds have an inbred homing instinct that makes them feel attached to their established roosting and nesting sites. Plus, mating pairs can hatch as many as four broods a year, so a small pigeon problem can quickly turn into a disaster.

Pigeons will resort to laying eggs on bare surfaces if need be, so getting rid of pigeons isn’t as simple as removing their nests. Fortunately, Enviro Eco Solutions offers many high-quality bird control products that can effectively resolve any type of pigeon problem.
