Pest Control in Blair
Pest control for the historic village of Blair on the Grand River, the large lots around it, and the farm properties between Cambridge and the Kitchener line.
Blair is a small historic village on the west bank of the Grand River between Preston and the Kitchener boundary, with some of the oldest buildings in the region, a mill history, and a mix of century homes on big lots, newer estate houses, and farm properties along Blair Road, Fountain Street and the concessions toward Roseville. The pests are what that geography produces. The century homes are on rubble-stone foundations with the same opened joints and unsealed sills as Galt's, and the mice come in every October; the large wooded lots and the fields beside them add pressure the middle of a city never sees. The old wood — porches, sills, barn-board additions, fence posts and stumps in wet ground near the river — carries carpenter ants, with the parent colony outside and satellite nests in the house. The river lowland and the ravines stay damp through summer and breed earwigs and pavement ants at the foundation. Wasps and bald-faced hornets nest in the mature trees, the outbuildings and the porch ceilings, and ground-nesting yellowjackets set up in old rodent burrows at the field edge. Owners of these lots usually want a season of perimeter work and a September rodent program rather than a string of emergency calls, and that is how the plan is written. Travel to Blair's rural side is built into the plan up front. Wildlife — raccoons, bats and skunks are all common along the river here — is 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.
