Cockroaches are very dangerous and harmful insects. When they grow they do not go through any instar transformations like most other insects. The egg hatches and a tiny barely visible cockroach comes out, fully formed and mobile. The baby will moult hundreds of times as it grows and that moulting is coated in feces and…
Mice are a frustrating and problematic infestation. They are hard to find and even harder to catch. They usually enter on the ground floor often through a back door that has been left open. They will then rapidly populate your home and begin moving up the walls to the second floor and all the way…
Cockroaches have existed for millions of years, to the point that we do not really know how old they actually are. They are very different from other insects, specifically having thicker harder carapaces and actual organs instead of free-floating organelles. They are much closer to animals than insects, similar to how fungi have animal cells,…
Rats are a serious problem and have been getting worse ever since the 2008 economic crash. The governments of major cities would treat rats in sewers and parks but when the crash occurred there had to be cutbacks and those government treatments and rat task forces were disbanded.

Wasps construct wasps in isolated, dry, and dark areas around the house. They usually build nests that are ideally close to food sources and far away from any type of disturbances. Wasps usually make nests in abandoned sheds, under eaves, and even in the garage. Wasps make nests inside wall cavities. Some of these spots…
The life cycle of a wasp nest is a fascinating one as it keeps repeating time and time. When the queen wasp passes the harsh Ontario winter, she will begin scouting an area for the wasp nest in the spring. The wasp nest is then just the size of a tennis ball. It gradually…
Brick walls, as they age, often get mortar holes. These holes are easy to access to come kinds of wasps that are the right size to fit in. These same wasps can enter through plastic roof vents, any opening in a roof, wall, under a deck, in an old rodent burrow or even in your…
