At TSR Pest Control, we know how to get rid of mice and rats. We offer unmatchable mouse and rat control services to our customers in Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Hamilton, and other cities in southern Ontario. When it comes to rodent infestations, our clients recognize us as the only pest control company in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton regions that offers the most complete Integrated Pest Management treatment. We start by using our computerized scanning technology to locate the hidden roots of the mouse and rat problems. Besides offering interior and exterior chemical control using the industry's most reputable products, we also utilize the latest IPM techniques to make the structure as rodent-proof as possible. Identifying and eliminating the rodent access points is crucial if the structure is to remain mouse-free and rat-free in the long term. We develop a custom eradication plan to ensure a complete eradication in the most effective manner possible. Our most important asset, however, is still our knowledge and experience in responding to very tough mouse and rat infestations. Give us a call for a free over-the-phone assessment or to book an onsite consultation. Rodent infestations can be tough but none is as tough as TSR. Call 416-268-3408 to schedule an on-site assessment. We will inspect your home/business and inform you about the best possible action plan(s).

Q: Do you repair squirrel and raccoon access points (e.g., a hole on the roof)?
A: Yes, where possible, our animal removal operation includes fixing/blocking/eliminating access points. In general, access-point elimination is one of the most effective pest and animal control techniques. At TSR, we have all the necessary tools and know-how to identify and eliminate the access points.

Q: Do you provide humane animal (wildlife) removal services?
A: All of our wildlife removal operations are 100% humane, involve no risk to animal welfare, and are ecologically-conscious. We feel compassion for the wildlife we exclude and do everything we can to ensure the animals we remove complete the transition out of their location with as little risk and stress as possible. We make sure animal families are not separated and their health is not jeopardized. That is why we try to limit the use of traps and other devices that can cause undue stress to animals and instead choose the removal and exclusion techniques that are more humane and have less impact on the animals' welfare. Humane animal control, as we understand and practice it, is not a removal technique but a philosophy and way of making decisions. It involves respecting animal welfare in every step of the process. In recent years, we have made huge investments in technological solutions to minimize the risks of pest recurrence, property damage, environmental side-effects, and unintended suffering.

Q: I saw a raccoon / squirrel enter my attic. Can I evict it by using repellents?
A: Repellents will fail to deliver results in most cases. The wildlife needs to be professionally removed in order to minimize the risk of re-invasion and property damage. It is highly dangerous to attempt to close the entry points without the involvement of a professional wildlife removal service as it can result in animal cruelty, property damage, and serious health risks to the residents of the home. Only a certified/trained and ethically conscious animal removal technician will be able to take all the necessary measures to avoid exposing a household to the above-mentioned risks. Another high-risk and ineffective solution is to rely on mechanical exclusion devices. We have done repeated case studies that show young animals refuse to exit through these devices and stay captured inside the property - this results in animal suffering and aggravates the risk of further property damage. On a regular basis, we receive calls from concerned home owners across Southern Ontario complaining about serious side-effects of unprofessionally used exclusion devices. An untrained and uncertified installation, a poor device choice, and an inability to carry out a complete inspection are some of the factors that homeowners should take into account when making wildlife removal decisions.

Q: I have noticed a raccoon walking on my roof. Should I cut/trim all the trees to prevent it from getting access to my roof?
A: In most situations, trimming or cutting trees will not prevent squirrels and raccoons from accessing your roof. Raccoons have powerful claws and can climb up stone, brick, wood, and many other surfaces. One particular raccoon became an internaitonal celebrity when it successfully scaled a wall of a twenty-five storey office tower. You can read about him/her by clicking here. Raccoons and squirrels are not afraid of heights, either. Here is a story of a raccoon that climbed 213 metres up Toronto condo tower. If you suspect raccoons, squirrels, or any other wildlife have gained access into any structure within your property, you should call us at 416-268-3408 to schedule a professional assessment.

Q: In what months do raccoons, squirrels, skunks, and other wildlife give birth / have their babies?
A: Many female raccoons give birth in early March. It is quite common to find newborn raccoons until mid-May. In rare cases, a raccoon will give birth in late July/early August. Squirrels, unlike raccoons, give birth twice a year. The first squirrel baby season falls in late March-early April. The second baby season for squirrels is in June-July. Most baby skunks are born in April. Skunk litters can be particularly large. We have seen litters as large as nine youngs. The average skunk litter, however, is much smaller. The kits of these three species feed on their mothers' milk until around ten weeks old.

Q: Can you remove an entire animal family together out of my house?
A: Yes, TSR is equipped with the detection/inspection technology to locate animal newborns and provide a swift and complete removal of an entire litter in a humane manner. We also have heated reunion houses for the animal newborn to ensure they reunite with their moms and are relocated in a humane and healthy way. Besides being a more ethical option, this level of attention to detail improves the long-term efficiency of our animal removal service. The adult wildlife are less likely to linger around the house and seek re-entry if their family has been removed as a whole.

Q: Do I have to wait until animal babies are grown up before I arrange for a professional removal?
A: No, our technicians have the expertise to remove animals in a humane and safe manner any time of the year. Given the success record of our wildlife removal team, there is no need to wait longer and risk greater property damage. TSR can remove animal families out of your building at your earliest convinience.

Q: Can I hire a roofer/handyman to repair wildlife damage to my house?
A: One of the biggest and most commonly made wildlife control mistakes is to hire someone who is not a wildlife control specialist to repair the animal damage to your exterior walls or roof. An animal removal professional knows how to construct an adequate exclusion device for the wildlife to exit in a quick and safe manner. Repairing an animal entry point without providing an adequate egress will cause many problems and aggrevate the damage animals inflict on your property. There will also inevitably be unnecessary cruelty towards the wildlife. This is almost always a lose-lose scenario.

Q: Does do it yourself pest control work?
A: In many cases, unprofessional application of baits/insecticides or the application of unsuitable pesticides ends up aggrevating a pest problem, and in some cases, making it much more difficult to eradicate. "Do it yourself pest control" could be quite dangerous and costly due to various factors related to the pesticide chemistry and pest biology. First and foremost, many of the do-it-yourself solutions advertised on the internet end up costing a significant amount of money - in some cases as much as, or even more than, the cost of a professional extermination. At TSR, we continuously come across clients who had spent hundreds of dollars in purchasing domestic pesticides and pest control products from their local home improvement stores prior to getting in touch with us. DIY could also prove dangerous because of bai t& chemical resistence some pests can develop due to prolonged, low-dosage exposure to the chemicals with domestic classification. TSR Pest Control specializes in cost-effective pest control solutions in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Areas. If you need a pest control consultation or an on-site assessment, feel free to give us a call at 1-TSR-PEST001 (1-877-737-8001) or 416-268-3408.

Q: Can you block mouse and rat access points to make sure the problem will not return in future years?
A: Yes, at TSR, we make every effort to identify rodent and animal access points and take the necessary remedial action. Depending on the age and condition of your building, we may be able to offer a rodent-proofing service for your residential or commercial property. Rodent-proofing is a complex and time-consuming process and may or may not be suitable for your property. The first step is a thorough inspection and assessment of the property. We will utilize the latest inspection and detection technologies to determine what is causing the problem and what needs to be done.

Q: Do you offer a home inspection service for new owners and tenants?
A: Every year new homebuyers, sellers, and tenants contact us independently or through their realtors to book a comprehensive pest inspection in their residential and commercial properties. These inspections help you identify pest problems before they grow into higher-stage infestations. Many insects are going to grow exponentially if the infestation is not detected and treated right away. Wildlife intrusion probelms, too, have a tendency to intensify over time. A raccoon or squirrel intrusion, if not tackled in its early days, could result in greater property damage and a more expensive removal process. Contact TSR Pest & Animal Control to book a comprehensive pest inspection visit.

Q: Why is my home infested with pests?
A: There are many reasons as to why homes become infested. Each pest infestation has its unique origin. Pests choose a harborage based on their biological needs.
Rodents settle in houses to avoid the biting cold of the winter months and to find food. For example, new mouse infestations are likely to coincide with the first nights of frost. Homes in the Greater Toronto Area begin to see new mouse intrusions usually in December. This pattern continues until May.
Intrusions by bigger animals such as those by raccoons and squirrels tend to overlap with the pregnancy/birth cycles. Animals are more desperately looking for new homes in December through April. This has to do with wanting to survive freezing temperatures, avoid predators, and most importantly needing to find a safe place they will need for the birth of their babies. Homeowners, on the other hand, begin to notice these problems often after the birth of the animal babies, which always makes the infestation more difficult to control.
Some insect infestations start in gardens and backyards and gradually make their ways into a home. Bed bugs and cockroaches, two of the scariest pests in our geographic area, are almost always introduced by human activity rather than a natural one. The appropriate treatment method, too, depends on how an insect or rodent enters a house. The basic rule is as follows. If it is what we as home-residents do that results in a pest infestation, besides having the problem treated, we will need to refrain from the forms of behaviour that led to the introduction of the pests. Moreover, some habits and practices contribute to a pest problem by helping to stabilize the infestation. We will discuss these issues in greater depth in a standalone post.

Q: What types of pest control products do you use?
A: At TSR, we promise to use the pest management industry's leading pest control products. We emphasize quality rather than price.

Q: Is it possible to get rid of pests once and for all? Can you eradicate bugs (bed bugs, cockroaches) and rodents permanently?
A: Our bug, crawling insect, and rodent treatments are completely efficient in eradicating existing pest populations within your commercial or residential structure. However, there are other very important factors that determine whether or not you will experience a similar problem in near future. These are the risk factors that make a re-infestation possible. Each type of pest infestation has its own re-infestation risk factors that do not entirely (or even largely) depend on the efficient use of pesticides. That's why a reliance on chemicals in mitigating the risk of re-infestation is highly inefficient and dangerous. The most efficient strategy is to combine a knowledge of pest biology with that of building science and engineering. Residual pesticides should be used only with the intention of tackling insect eggs and exterminating insects and rodents of all life cycles. The preventive work should, as much as possible, involve physical strategies such as rodent-proofing, eliminating the sources of pest attraction, and changing our own habits. If you are worried about pest re-infestation, and want to enjoy a pest-free home with a minimal use of chemicals, call TSR at 416-268-3408 and we will develop a custom pest protection plan that will work for you.
