Flies

Bed bugs

Contrary to their name, bed bugs can also be found in cracks and crevices. They feed on human blood are very difficult to control as they spread quickly. Professional services are recommended to get rid of bed bugs in your business.

Ants

Ants enter properties in search of food. Ant nests are often located on lawns, in warm, dry soil and under paving - look for finely powdered soil. Ant control services are available from Rentokil to treat ant problems.

Birds

Birds can cause property damage and bring a host of potentially serious diseases and health issues.


 

Mice

House mice are active all year, nesting in warm, quiet places like walls or inside cabinets. They constantly gnaw, damage furnishings, and chew packaging to access food. Mice are also known to spread disease.

Cockroaches

Cockroaches like to live in warm properties, kitchens and wall cavities. They often come out after dark, feeding on any type of food and they may carry diseases. Find out about Rentokil's cockroach control services.

Mosquitoes become highly active throughout Canada in the spring and summer months. Capable of transmitting various diseases, mosquitoes are a threat to both employees and customers.
