The Cure For Your Pest Problems™
MD Pest Control

Winter has arrived and with shorter days and cooler temperatures mice are looking for a place to call home.

The house mouse is the number one rodent pest in Toronto and the GTA. The professional exterminators at M.D. Pest Control can safely and effectively eliminate all mice activity from your home.

Our mouse control program includes a whole home approach, kitchens, basements, attics and garage areas are common places mice frequent and all will be treated. Bait will be applied in “tamper resistant” bait stations to protect children and pets. The typical house mouse needs only ¼ inch gap or opening to enter your home.

Our pest control technicians will perform an exterior inspection to identify all possible rodent entrances. All openings where mice can enter the house such as cracks, pipe voids, gaps around utility wires, poorly sealed vents, and door issues must be identified and must be sealed to exclude mice.

M.D. Pest Control comes well equipped to seal many of these openings at the time of service, unfortunately some entry points (such as garage roll-up door seals, missing bricks, structural foundation issues) may be beyond our ability to repair. Any such openings that are beyond our ability will be brought to your attention so you may arrange for proper repair.

Many pest control companies simply exterminate the existing infestation without trying to prevent future infestations. At M.D. Pest Control our goal is to exterminate to existing mice and keep them out… for good!

Bed Bugs

DESCRIPTION: Bed bugs have made a huge comeback in the Toronto area after being absent for many years. A bed bug infestation is very complex and will require the help of a professional exterminator.

HABITAT: Bed bugs can be found in any environment that humans occupy, clean or dirty this pest has no preference.  Bed bugs are transported by man as we travel, bed bugs hitch a ride in furniture, luggage and possibly on our clothing. Once bed bugs are introduced into a building they will multiply quickly. Bed bugs in Toronto and the GTA are not easily eliminated with the use of pesticide due to high resistance to most insecticides. Bed bugs may also be present even if the building has been vacant for as long as one year. 

LIFE CYCLE: Bed bugs are active at night and hide during the day. After mating, females lay white, oval eggs (1/16-inch long) into cracks and crevices. An individual bed bug can lay 200-250 eggs in her lifetime. The eggs hatch in about 10 days and the newly emerged bed bug nymphs seek a blood meal. Immature nymphs molt five times (i.e., they shed their outer exoskeleton in order to grow) before reaching adulthood. They need to feed at least once before each molt, although they could feed as often as once a day. There may be three or more generations per year. All ages are found in a reproducing population. Immature bed bugs may live for several months without feeding while adults may survive as long as one year without a meal. Under normal circumstances, adult bed bugs will live for about ten to eleven months feeding every 3 to 5 days.

TYPE OF DAMAGE: Bed bugs are not known to spread any disease. Reactions to bed bug bites will vary from one person to another, with some individuals having no reaction whatsoever.  Others range from a small, red, slightly raised, itchy spot to severe painful bruising. Some people react immediately after a bed bug bite and others have a delayed reaction as long a 14 days following the bite. It is possible to go on vacation for a week and be bit while away and return to react to the bed bug bite once home again.  Although not a health hazard many people find it difficult to get a good night sleep once they determine bed bugs are present.

Control of bed bug infestations will require a professional exterminator. Don't take chances with just anyone call M.D. Pest Control Toronto today!
