Pest Control in Hespeler
Pest control for Hespeler's mill-era frame housing around the Speed River, the post-war streets, and the newer subdivisions backing onto farmland toward the Guelph line.
Hespeler grew up around its mills on the Speed River, and the frame houses built for mill workers on the streets around Queen Street, Guelph Avenue and the old village core are wood: wood sills on stone or early block, wood porches, wood windows, back additions that have settled and let water in. That makes Hespeler the carpenter ant end of Cambridge. Anywhere the wood has stayed wet — a downspout dumping against a sill, a porch roof leaking onto a post, a bathroom fan venting into the soffit — a colony has found it, and the fine sawdust below a gap in the trim is the sign. The treatment kills the colony and the satellite nests; the carpentry to fix the wet wood has to follow or the next colony moves in. Those same sills and stone foundations let mice in every fall. The post-war streets between the village and the 401 have the usual soffit wasps, garage-corner mice and pavement ants. The newer subdivisions in north Hespeler toward the Guelph line and along the Townline back onto working farmland, and when the crops come off in October the last row of houses gets heavy rodent pressure through any unsealed garage corner or open weep hole; a September program before the migration is the calm way to handle it. The Speed River flats and the Mill Pond area stay damp and carry earwigs and ants at the foundation. The restaurants and shops in the village core and the industrial units toward the 401 need a documented commercial program. Every job starts with an inspection; travel inside Hespeler is not charged.

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.
