Bed Bugs are a fast-growing problem. When signs or symptoms of bed bugs appear, it is essential that you call in a Poulin’s professional immediately to inspect the area of concern. We carefully inspect common areas in which bed bugs make their nesting grounds such as box springs, mattresses, head boards and nightstands. In addition, Poulin’s will inspect areas such as baseboards, outlets and additional furniture in the room. After the inspection has been completed, a detailed report will be provided by the Poulin’s pest management professional and if activity is found, further arrangements for treatment can be scheduled immediately.

Bed Bugs can occur anywhere, they can infest residences and commercial buildings alike and with the number of reported bed bug cases on the rise, it’s important to take preventative measures to reduce your risk of getting or transferring bed bugs. These are just a few products Poulin’s offers to prevent an infestation:

Bed Bugs can occur anywhere, they can infest residences and commercial buildings alike and with the number of reported bed bug cases on the rise, it’s important to take preventative measures to reduce your risk of getting or transferring bed bugs. These are just a few products Poulin’s offers to prevent an infestation:

• Mattress and Box Spring Encasements
  Box spring and mattress encasements are by far one of the most effective methods of preventing bed bugs, as they frequently inhabit the crevasses found on box springs and mattress. By sealing off box springs and mattresses, it drastically reduces the space that bed bugs use as their primary nesting grounds. Poulin’s offers box spring and mattress encasements in all sizes.
• Clear View Bed Bug Monitors
  Roughly the size of a business card, Clear View Bed Bug Monitor is great if you want an effective and discreet form of bed bug detection. Simply slip Clear View in between a mattress and box spring, and check once a week for the most accurate results.
• Climb Up Insect Interceptors
  Climb Up is a reliable way to detect very light bed bug activity or to monitor dwellings that are more prone to bed bug infestations. Simply pull the piece of furniture you want to monitor from against the wall and slip the leg of the piece into the centre of the device. Check once a week for best results.

A chemical-free option is available to eliminate bed bugs. Poulin’s bed bug heat treatments use increased temperatures to eradicate bed bugs. Our staff is well trained in this area to eradicate any size bed bug problem you may have.

The use of scent dogs is an extremely effective way of locating bed bugs in a variety of locations. Bed bugs can hide inside mattresses and box springs, in baseboards, under carpets, even inside electronics; virtually any area, which makes detecting bed bugs a challenge. Poulin’s bed bug dog is trained to generate faster and more accurate results.

Most birds are seen as beautiful to look at, and many are beneficial in eating mosquitoes and other harmful insects. However, birds can often become nuisances. Poulin’s Pest Control can provide the appropriate products which will discourage birds from unwanted locations, or if necessary, can be trapped and relocated to a more suitable area.

Most birds have very acidic droppings which can deface marble, limestone, painted surface, statues, car finishes, etc. Fresh droppings can cause objectionable odours and slippery surfaces on sidewalks, roads, fire escapes and other areas. Nests can block air vents or present fire hazards. Parasites like mites, fleas and ticks can be carried by birds which can affect the health of your family members, employees or customers.

Mosquitoes are a nuisance and can sometimes carry harmful diseases; the best way to control mosquitoes is to catch them at the source. For small areas such as yards and gardens, Poulin’s offers a variety of options to control or eliminate mosquitoes.

Mosquito control begins with an accurate and thorough assessment of the problem.

Poulin’s trained technicians will inspect your yard for breeding sites, which can include standing water, yard waste, such as lawn clippings and leaves, as well as shrubs and other shady areas where mosquitoes tend to attract to.

Prevent entry to structures through proper screening, and exclusion work. Open or broken window screens are perfect locations for mosquitoes to enter your home. Window screens should fit snugly into the frame, and for best results, should be shut during the hours of dusk and dawn.

Fogging or spraying will also aid in a mosquito free area for a period of time.

Three types of ants that can be causing an infestation to your home is the Allegheny Mound Ant, Carpenter Ant and Pharaoh Ant. The colony of the Allegheny Mound Ants become active in the spring. Foraging for food begins and they hibernate in the tunnelways of a mound below the soil surface. Workers attack and dismember other insects that the ants can overcome.

Most Carpenter Ants establish their first nests in decaying wood and later expand into solid wood. These ants enter buildings around door and window frames, eaves, plumbing and utility lines and tree branches that come in contact with the building. The small Pharaoh Ant feeds generally on animal or vegetable food, dead insects, small animals, open wounds, shed human skin on bedding, sucrose and IV solutions, sweets and fats.

The Pharaoh Ant typically nests indoors inside electrical conduits, in linen closets, in sterile surgical packets, under flowerpots, within walls of buildings and near water sources.

Wasps are very aggressive insects when the summer moves into August and September. Wasps lose their natural food source, flowers nectar as many plants stop flowering. Wasps then look for high carbohydrate and sugary snacks to feed on. Where do they find them? In your backyard on your deck when you are having a pop or steak or anything that meets their needs. Wasps can sting multiple times as they have no barb on their stinger which can make for a very painful situation.

At Poulin’s we are trained to remove wasp nests during the day when control is much more difficult, but successful. If you need assistance in removing a wasp nest visit any of our stores across western Canada or call us to speak with one of our experts toll-free at 1-888-768-5467.

Sometimes referred to as bristletails, silverfish are widely distributed in the United States and Canada. Silverfish can live for long periods of time. They also molt continuously throughout their life, which may be up to eight years! They can be found almost anywhere in the home and feed on paper, paper with string, wallpaper, book bindings, envelopes, labels, dried out beef products and will even feed on their dead kin. Proper identification is key for determining the best route of control and sanitation practices to remove silverfish from areas of your home. In general, temperature and humidity control or lighting in certain areas will reduce populations. Residual sprays, space sprays, fogs, and aerosols may help eliminate problem infestations.

Remember, the key to success in eliminating any pest problem is correctly identifying your pest. If you are unsure of any insect in your home or workplace, please contact one of our offices to speak with a trained pest control professional.

Skunks, raccoons, coyotes, squirrels, and a whole host of other species indigenous to Canada have become urban pests. This has happened not because they’ve moved into the territory of human beings, but because humans have moved into their home.

Each animal has a different set of behaviors, habitats, bait preferences, and trapping techniques that are vital in knowing to have the best success in trapping it. Remember that you may not catch the specific pest that you are trying to and it may take several attempts.

Selecting the right bait to attract your specific pest is key, as the variety of options is almost endless. Chicken, sardines, eggs, bacon, and many vegetables can all be used as attractants to lure wildlife into traps.

The German Cockroach is a common household insect within the United States and Canada. German Cockroaches are light brown to tan and have fully developed wings. They usually infest in kitchens and bathrooms but will live anywhere there is food and water. They enter your home by being transported by infested bags and cardboard boxes. German Cockroaches may also be harbouring in used appliances such as refrigerators, toasters and microwaves.

Roaches are known to be a public health issue as they are capable of contaminating food, food preparation sites, and various diseases and illnesses. Roaches are implicated with asthmatic issues in children and adults. Roaches have also been implicated with staphylococcus, streptococcus, coliform bacteria, E. coli, salmonella and shigella. It is very important to have a pest management professional to identify and treat cockroach infestations as soon as cockroaches are found in the home.

Fly lights are a cost-efficient way to keep facilities free of flying insects. Flying insects that are attracted to light and the fly traps focus control around that. The specific design of the light traps allows a UV bulb to light attract the flying insects. When they land near the UV bulb, they are caught on the glue board. This is a great option for facilities in the food industry that do not wish to use chemical products. Poulin’s offers many makes and models of fly lights to meet your business’s needs.
