termite control

We called Joe from Snap in the summer because we noticed termites in the basement. Joe came and inspected the basement and made suggestions. I’m very happy with the idea that Joe did the investigation carefully. He pointed out to us that there were specific problems connected with the accumulative causes of the termites (e.g. the position of our downspouts and blocked drains, the flooding in Toronto etc.)
As part of the plan, we were advised to remove all wood to soil contact throughout the basement floor, ceilings and walls, basement windows, and sealed up all nail holes etc. He literally had to return to the job several times in order to complete the treatment properly. It was a job that the termites needed to be flushed out from the first floor (wood floor) down to the basement. Joe had to drill tiny holes into our floor joists (upstairs) and into our basement slab. He brought all the tools necessary to do the job and made calculations to determine the amount of chemical treatment required. He also had to struggle with the parking on the street due to the sizeable spray equipment needed and the busy downtown traffic and the closure of our street due to the water main repair program by the City at the time. He used two chemicals, one for the wood, one for the soil and he came back to do two spread out sprays for the job. The termites are gone and we know what to watch out for. Thank you, Joe!

Thanks for the kind review. Termites are indeed the most difficult structural pest to exterminate. There are conducive conditions involved which should be addressed in tandem with a plan and control measures. I had to make multiple trips on this particular job to assess the situation and was fortunate indeed to have a client that was systematic and willing to open her home. Thanks again, Joe

Squirrel Problem

Joe was excellent. We had discovered that we had an animal nesting in our roof above our porch. We made a call to Joe and were surprised and pleased that he would come out to our house on a Sunday (the following day). Joe was prompt, knowledgeable and friendly. We discovered it was a squirrel who luckily had left our roof when Joe arrived. Joe covered the access point where the squirrel was getting in. He did an excellent job and extremely neat job. I have to say, there is no way that squirrely is getting back in. Joe also suggested we remove a couple of branches where he felt the squirrel was probably gaining access to our porch. I would definitely use Joe again and would not hesitate to recommend him! Thanks so much Joe!!

Squirrel removal

I had had persistent squirrel problems (inside walls of our house) which had been going on for months. Joe came over on two visits, spent a long time figuring out what the problem was and then fixing it. That was a few months ago and the problem has not returned. He spent more time and solved the problem for less money than I had spent previously trying to have the problem solved. I would have saved a lot of money and frustration if I had started with Joe in the first place. From now on I will use Snap Pest control for all my pest issues. Thanks, Joe!

Thanks for your review. I know how frustrating it can be to have squirrels in a home and particularly in walls. Pest control is not always an exact science and this jobs challenge involved eliminating the impossible in order to arrive at the possible entry. I had to use a tracking powder to figure out the problem. The previous company did return many times to try to solve this issue in all fairness to them. After examining the re-entry it turns out that they kept looking at various locations when all the while it was related to the original meshed area. Everybody makes mistakes and the issue here was that this tech didn't double check his work and spent a lot of time going into different directions. In the end the mesh was loose enough for the squirrels' to simply squeeze through. I'm glad that it worked out well. Thanks again, Joe

service

I came home one day after work a month or so ago and found droppings from mice on my counter. I freaked out and started to yell!! I have never had mice and couldn't even think of wanting to cook in my now contaminated kitchen. My husband tried saying that the kitchen was dirty, which I know it is not. I started cleaning out cupboards and found more droppings. My husband went to the store and bought stuff to try and control it. After a week I saw more droppings. I told him, get a professional in, I was tired of this!!!!I I was asking around and I got a referral from a friend for SNAP. I called the number and I was going on and on freaking out on the guy, he was so genuine and reserved and told me not to worry, he would get rid of them for me. He came over and was a very down to earth guy. He came with all sorts of tools and was ready to work. He did a full inspection of the house and showed me pictures of openings where he thought the mice could have entered the house. He laid down bait and sealed off the openings. He was here for a couple of hours. WE HAVE NOT SEEN ANY MICE SINCE!!!! THANK YOU JOE

I thank you for your nice review. I managed to find a few openings which were sealed off. Taking pictures of my work to show clients what was found is important to me so that some closure can be finally be attained. People should see what the problem was and how it was resolved. In fact I routinely review photos of rodent entry daily as practice and even after a thousand jobs still find something new to add to my experience. One should never be complacent when it comes to mice and often times I am double checking and even triple checking a home to ensure I haven't missed something. On occasion I have even resorted to getting a second opinion from a different tech altogether in order to solve a nagging pest issue. All in all I'm just happy I could be of assistance. Joe.

mouse problem

We feel so lucky to have found Joe! We've had mouse problems in the past and although we always called professionals, the problem recurred a year or two later. We thought this must be "natural" for an old house. When Joe arrived, he did a thorough inspection of the house inside and outside. None of our previous professionals had looked at the exterior of the house and none had been so thorough. Joe found -- and fixed immediately -- two holes in the brick exterior that were large enough for mice to come in. Of course he also thoroughly addressed the inside mouse problem as well, and will be following-up with us in 3 or 4 weeks to make sure the problem is actually solved (also a first for us). We are so impressed with Joe. He is well-informed and well-equipped (he even uses a "scope" to see into crevices inside and outside the house). On top of all that -- he's incredibly nice! We totally recommend SNAP Pest Control. Thanks for everything Joe!

Thanks so much for the great review. I keep seeing this scenario whereby techs out there are not doing exterior inspections. Frankly, every time I hear that exterior inspections are not conduced truly amazes me. It is only logical to establish and close off entry so that the cycle of rodent issues can be resolved. Thanks again for your review, Joe

Pest Control

Joe at Snap Pest Control is a pleasant guy for an unpleasant problem! We moved onto our first ravine property a year ago and have had our fair share of unwanted critters in and around our home. I happened to call Snap Pest Control soon after we moved in to deal with a mice problem we had. Joe came and took care of it at a very reasonable price- and since then, no more mice in the house. Then over the course of the summer, we had raccoons making a mess of our deck, squirrels chewing away at the roof, then swarms of bees making their nests in the backyard too. Over time, Joe took care of all of these problems with just a few visits- again at a very reasonable cost. You can rely on Joe- if he says he will be there to help you, you can be sure that he will. What a relief to know that we can depend on friendly, professional help to maintain a pest-free home, which enables us to enjoy living on the ravine.

Thanks for the review. I must admit that ravine properties do pose some challenges in pest control terms. Being proactive is the key to controlling potential issues before there are problems. Once again thanks for you business

Thanks for your review. The challenging aspect of this job involved raccoon proofing the home as well as removing the raccoons ability to even get on the roof. A previous company had installed a 1 way door and simply left the meshed boxes on the dormers. The boxes were an eye sore and took away from the homes charm and esthetic quality. I installed color keyed mesh, removed some vines which were acting like a ladder) and spiked the downspouts on all corners to remove vertical access.

squirrel removal

I called Joe 6 months ago after getting 2 other quotes to remove a squirrel before my roof was replaced. Joe suggested waiting until the roof was almost complete before installing the one way door, otherwise the job would have to be done twice at more than twice the price. Truthfully at that point I thought the squirrel would leave on his own with all the commotion from the roofers, but not so. On the last day of the job my roofer asked me to call a pest removal company to deal with the situation. I automatically thought of Joe and called. Within 2 hours he was at my home and installed the door. He was the most reasonable and helpful pest control company I called. I would highly recommend him to anyone with a squirrel problem.

The roofing guys installed a drip edge which covered the (16 feet across) unseen 1 inch gap between the roof and eaves perfectly. A professional roofing job in tandem with a 1 way door not only saved my client money but also ensured that the squirrels have no chance whatsoever of re-entry. Thanks your business, Joe

Fleas

My tenant's dog brought fleas into my house. Before I realized what the problem was, my house was infested. Joe came over quickly and thoroughly sprayed the house. He came back two weeks later to do another spray. Fleas are very difficult to get rid of. He advised me to move my couch out to the garage for a week to kill the persistent ones and it worked. I highly recommend Joe for any pest problems you may have. AND his prices are very reasonable.

Thanks for the review. Remember that nobody is immune to fleas and they can enter a home via a pets daily walk past a flea infested area. Fleas just wait for a ride, hop on your pet and before you know it they are in your living room jumping around all over the place.Typically, I tend to get calls ( not in this case though) regarding a flea problem after a client has been attempting to control them on their own. One must remember that a flea extermination can go wrong quickly and results in fleas being spread all over a home. I therefore strongly recommend that this particular pest be left up to an exterminator to control. A systematic approach along with the use of an IGR ( insect growth regulator) and the correct insecticide is required to rid a structure of fleas. In this particular case I wanted the fleas to gravitate towards the couch, which was then treated and quarantined outdoors. A little trick I learned from a seasoned exterminator and true mentor.

Pest Inspection

Joe and his associate came by my new house to do an inspection and possible spray before moving in. After walking around, he informed us that he didn't think we needed a spray and then followed up with an extensive walk through our house (inside and out) identifying potential areas of concern. As a pest inspector, he had us at his mercy - but he was a great, honest guy with smart insights into our property. 5 star service.

Thanks for the review. A home is the largest investment one can make and being proactive when it come to pests only makes sense. Potential problems are indeed best dealt with initially before pests become established. I must admit I was impressed by my clients forward thinking ( he was actually taking notes as we went) and have never seen commitment on this scale before. We checked everything from raccoons to termites and it was nice to know that my recommendations will be taken seriously. Thanks,Joe ,
