Termites aren’t the only insect that can damage your home. Carpenter ants chew through wood furniture, support beams and siding to create extensive tunnel systems for their nest. Find out how to spot the signs of these dangerous insects and how Truly Nolen Canada can help. Keep your home in Newmarket safe from a carpenter ant infestation without resorting to dangerous chemicals.

Professional Carpenter Ant Inspection Services

We start by carefully inspecting your home for signs of carpenter ants. These tiny ants don’t actually eat wood, like termites, but instead chew through it just to make a home. They prefer damp locations, especially decayed wood. Carpenter ants tend to keep to themselves, so you’re unlikely to see obvious signs of an infestation. Turn to our team for year-round support. Carpenter ants often seek shelter in your home or underground during the winter, so they remain active all year long.

How To Remove Carpenter Ants

As part of our full-service Four Seasons Pest Program, our team at Truly Nolen Canada offers liquid bait products to remove carpenter ants from your home. This safe product is applied directly on the nest in a specific amount by a trained professional.

While not typically aggressive, carpenter ants have powerful jaws and can bite individuals. The bite can break the skin and is further aggravated by formic acid the ant produces. While not a serious health risk, it is an unpleasant experience. Avoid touching carpenter ants or attempting to remove them without professional assistance. A single application may not be enough, so our team is committed to follow-up inspections as part of our complete pest program. We make sure your home is not only free from carpenter ants, but also protected from future infestations. Here are some common prevention strategies we use to protect your home:

• Remove sources of standing water
• Seal cracks to your windows, doors and basement
• Remove firewood and building materials from nearby your home
• Remove decaying wood and vegetation from nearby your home

Turn to a professional to provide these prevention solutions and recommend personalized tips for your property. Carpenter ants are resourceful pests, so they may find unique ways to enter your home or create a colony nearby.

Many homeowners assume that their homes are safe from bed bugs as long as they’re clean. However, these pests don’t discriminate. They invade both extravagant and modest homes, and while a cluttered space may give them more places to hide, it doesn’t increase the chances of initial infestation. They can show up anywhere there are human inhabitants to provide sustenance for them. The good news is that a bed bug problem is treatable. Our experts at Truly Nolen can help you save your belongings and reclaim your home in Newmarket from these pesky invaders.

How They Spread

Bed bugs spread very easily from place to place. They can be introduced to your home via cardboard boxes or through secondhand clothes, shoes or electronic equipment, and they can hitch a ride on any type of textile:

• Bedding
• Luggage
• Clothing
• Furniture

The prime season for bed bugs in Canada is when the weather is warmest. The months of June through October are ideal for bed bug reproduction, particularly among homeowners who travel to places that may have infestations.

How We Find Them

Bed bugs feast on dead skin cells, so they tend to congregate in areas of the home where it can most easily be found, particularly at night. They are attracted to the carbon dioxide that you emit when you exhale, so they are more likely to come out when you are sleeping. You may suspect you have bed bugs when you see small, raised bumps on your skin when you wake up in the morning or small dots of blood on your sheets. When we arrive to conduct the inspection, we typically check mattresses in the bedrooms first. These pests like to hide in the crevices of the mattress, but they don’t necessarily stay there. Bed bugs can also be found in upholstery, on curtains, under wallpaper, and in electrical outlets.

How We Treat the Problem

We utilize a Four Seasons approach to pest control, which ensures that we take into account the time of year and all the factors that typically determine the behaviour of pests during the current time. Our specialists employ environmentally sound methods for treating the bed bug problem in your home. We use a high-pressure misting system that targets the areas where bed bugs are found.

Rodents can cause quite a bit of damage to your home and put your family’s health at risk. They multiple quickly and tend to chew through wires, increasing your risk of electrical fires. If a member of your family actually comes across a rat, it may bite in self-defence. In addition to these dangers, rodent droppings carry bacteria and disease which may cause illness. If you suspect you have a rodent problem in your home in Newmarket, the experts at Truly Nolen can help you get rid of it.

Rodent Eradication

Depending on the specific details of the infestation in your home, the solution may contain several phases:

• Blocking Pathways
• Trapping Vermin
• Controlling Vectors

The first thing the team is likely to do is to identify potential points of entry and block them to prevent any more rodents from coming into your house. It doesn’t take a lot of space to signal an invitation to animals seeking an escape from the cold. Some rodents can enter your home through a hole no bigger than a dime! Once those pathways are blocked, our specialists look for the telltale signs of infestation, such as droppings, nests and torn materials. They trap and remove the rodents humanely to avoid leaving any nasty odours in your home. The final phase of the service is providing treatment for any secondary infestations that tend to come with rodents, such as ticks or mites.

Prevention Tips

While our team is committed to ongoing monitoring to ensure that all the measures we’ve taken are working, there are also some things you can do to aid in prevention. Take out the trash on a regular basis and keep all areas of your home clean, particularly the kitchen and pantry. Make sure all human and pet food is sealed in airtight containers to keep it safe from vermin. Finally, try to eliminate cardboard storage as these boxes are prime material for nest building and thus very attractive to rodents. Taking these precautions can help you avoid more problems in the future and keep rats and mice gone for good.

Wasps are social creatures that are active throughout the Ontario area from late spring to early fall. There are several different species in the area that build nests in trees, underground and, unfortunately, near and on human dwellings. If you have a wasp problem in Newmarket, knowing when to call us here at Truly Nolen may help you and your family stay safe and avoid attacks from aggressive colonies.

Nests Near Entrances

Wasps prefer to build their nests in eaves and other overhangs, but when they build on a porch directly over your home’s main entranceway, this could cause trouble when you or your kids and pets enter or leave the house. Human activity could anger the wasp colony and cause several issues, such as:

• Single wasps attacking and stinging
• Swarming of a perceived enemy
• Guarding of the area by drone wasps

Once colonies become aggressive they can be difficult to handle, so calling in our pest control technicians is a safer option than trying to destroy a large nest on your own.

Nests Near Children’s Play Areas

Wasps often build nests on the corners of roof overhangs, while others may start colonies in hollow areas, such as children’s playhouses and inside playground equipment. This is especially common in late spring when new queens are searching for places to start a nest. Even smaller or developing wasp nests can pose a serious danger for your children, especially when wasps and kids encounter each other unexpectedly, but our Truly Nolen technicians can pinpoint a nesting location and clear the area to make it safe for your kids and pets to play once more.

To Control Large Colonies

Some wasp nests can grow quite large when they are built mostly out of sight of humans, such as in abandoned buildings and in trees. However, when they build in or around your home, such as in your heating, ventilation and conditioning unit or in the ceiling of your tool shed, this is not an issue that can be handled with a can of bug spray. Since wasps can sting repeatedly without dying, trying to handle a large nest on your own can be extremely dangerous. Our Newmarket technicians have the tools and the know-how to find and destroy larger colonies that may cause damage to your home or pose a danger to your family.

Any species of wasp can become aggressive when protecting its colony and increase the chances of you suffering a painful sting, but there is help available. Contact us today for assistance with wasp nest removal and reclaim your home, yard and your peace of mind.

A spider running across a ceiling or wall quickly draws the attention of most homeowners. Their creepy appearances and erratic movements make most people uneasy. When warmer weather arrives, spiders build webs and make their nests inside homes, garages and sheds. Spider sacs contain a large number of eggs, so populations can grow quickly. Truly Nolen Newmarket has the solutions you need for all of your pest control problems. Our technicians are trained in pest management and will rid your home of infestations.

Common Spiders Found in Homes

Most house spiders in Ontario are harmless to humans and are easily recognizable. These are three main types of spiders found in homes:

• House Spiders: These spiders annoy homeowners because they build webs in conspicuous places where people are likely to walk through them or always need to brush the webs away. Their populations grow rapidly, so they become a real nuisance around a home. They range in colour from off-white to black with visible markings.
• Cellar Spiders: Cellar spiders like damp environments. A secluded corner of a basement or crawlspace is their favourite place to build nests. These spiders live in communities and grow into large groups over time. Their bodies are oval-shaped with unusually long, thin legs, and they range in colours from pale yellow to light brown or grey.
• Wolf Spiders: Wolf spiders are typically ground dwellers, but they do shock people when seen scurrying along a wall. Their large, hairy bodies are difficult to miss. They have brown, grey, black or tan colours with bold markings.

Black widows are found in Canada but rarely seen. They are black with a distinctive reddish hourglass shape on the abdomen. Their bite can cause serious illness or death, but they are not aggressive unless threatened. They make their homes in dimly lit places, such as basements, closets, and other suitable dark areas where they attempt to remain undisturbed.

Pest Control for Infestations

If you need to identify insects in your home, you can use our interactive pest identifier guide to view various types of bugs and learn about our treatment processes. You can visually detect the presence of spiders by seeing webs or noticing them moving about your home on walls, ceilings and floors. If you have an infestation, call for expert pest control.

Truly Nolen Newmarket will inspect your home and develop a treatment plan that is unique to your spider-control problem. Our technicians explain all the steps along the way and answer questions you have about our techniques. Our mission is to control pests and prevent future infestation issues.
