PEST CONTROL CONTRACTORS IN TORONTO

In order to get started with the subject of pest control in your condo, the first step should be to clarify what a pest actually is and why a pest infestation can occur at all. We use terms such as parasites or pests, but in fact this is not quite true. All insects have their definite place in the complex chains of life and have a very definite meaning.

For example, fungi do not destroy the woodshed in the garden out of malice, but they are simply a natural part of the biological cycle to make the existing biomass usable again for the next generations of plants. Likewise, larvae and beetles of the various species are always part of an important food chain, at the end of which we, the people, are not infrequently.

As pests or vermin that need to be fought, we humans like to call only those animals, fungi or plants (weeds) that negatively affect our lives and activities in some way. Food is spoiled, wooden beams are eaten, books become moldy, crops are hampered in their growth, etc.

However, most of the time we are not aware that in almost all cases we humans are responsible for the problems with the mass occurrence of a species. In the wild, an accumulation of the raw materials needed by animals and plants to enable them to reproduce en masse is very rare and then usually only selective. And if this does happen, their natural enemies also multiply rapidly due to the sudden oversupply, so that a biological equilibrium can almost always be re-established within a short time. It is precisely in order to avoid the same problems in the future by fundamentally changing the way we deal with the situation that this would be a truly sustainable approach to pest control and pest prevention. 

No one wants to have a pest problem. These pests cause inconvenience, embarrassment and also can pose serious health risks to adults, children, and pets. Structurally these pests can cause serious damage to your home. Experienced condo management companies recognize the seriousness of pest problems in condominiums and try to find reliable companies that could offer  several prompt solutions for various household pets including ants, bedbugs, bees, earwigs, fleas, mice, rats, spiders, termites and many other pests. 

Methods of pest control

Chemical pest control with biocides

Chemical methods  are certainly the first thing that comes to most people's minds when they think of pest extermination. The chemical agents used to pest extermination can be classified according to their mode of action:

• Toxic poisons 

• Developmental inhibitors/growth inhibitors 

• Blood thinners (so-called vitamin K antagonists) 

Biological pest control

The definition of biological pest control is actually quite clear and unambiguous outlined, but is always happy to "stretch" by the marketing departments of manufacturers of chemical poisons something, lacewing sits on a leaf - biological pest removal so that today also quite a broad area of organic pest control has settled.

Originally, the term refers only to the control of pests with their natural antagonists (counterparts). For example, the ladybug, which kills aphids on roses, or ichneumon wasps, which lay their eggs in the larvae of some moth species. But they also include cats, for example, which have been domesticated for thousands of years and are responsible for keeping rats and mice at bay. 

Physical pest control 

- all modes of action that work via physical principles of action. For example, heat, cold, desiccation, radiation, etc.

Mechanical pest control 

- includes all types of traps, impact traps against mice and rats, live traps for raccoons or martens, sticky traps for flies and other insects, flea traps, etc.

Biotechnical pest control 

- includes all traps that have been prepared with attractants and pheromones and ensure that mostly the males of their species are attracted to them and caught in order to interrupt the reproductive chain.

Preventive measures for the constructional protection of condos 

- involves building in such a way to make it difficult for pests of all kinds either to gain access to the building, or to ensure that no favorable conditions are created that enable vermin to gain a foothold in the building.
