Pest Control in Ayr
Pest control for the village of Ayr and the farm properties across North Dumfries Township, southwest of Cambridge.
Ayr is a village on the Nith River in North Dumfries Township, a short drive southwest of Galt, and its pest problems are rural ones. The village itself has older brick and frame homes near the core on stone and early block foundations, and newer subdivision houses on the edges, and both get the same thing every October: when the corn and soybeans come off the surrounding fields the mice lose their cover and their food in the same week and head for the nearest heated building. A house on the edge of the village or beside a hedgerow gets far more pressure than one in the middle of Preston, and the sealing has to be thorough, with exterior stations often kept in place through the fall. The farm properties across the township toward Branchton and the Brant line have a barn, a shed and feed storage within fifty feet of the house, which means rats as well as mice, and the program has to cover the outbuildings and the food source or it does not hold. A September program before the migration is calmer and cheaper than an emergency in November. Wasps nest in barn eaves, sheds and old rodent burrows in the field edge, and bald-faced hornets in the mature trees around farmhouses. Older village and farmhouse wood that has stayed wet carries carpenter ants, and properties near the Nith get earwigs and ants at the foundation. Travel to Ayr and North Dumfries is built into the written plan from the start. Raccoons in the barn and bats in the attic are wildlife, a different trade, and you are told if that is what the inspection finds.

Frequently asked questions
Do you charge more to come out to Ayr or Blair?
Not inside Cambridge. For Ayr, Branchton, Blair's rural side and the farm properties across North Dumfries, travel is built into the written plan up front rather than added afterwards, so the number you agree to is the number.
Why does my Galt house get mice every year when my sister's in Preston does not?
Almost always the foundation. Galt's century homes sit on rubble stone with a century of opened joints and no sill seal; a post-war Preston bungalow is on block or poured concrete with three or four gaps that can be found and closed in an afternoon. The Galt house can be sealed too, but it is a longer job and sometimes needs a mason for a section of loose stone.
