Bedbug Control
Bedbugs (Cimex lectularius) are considered to be the most feared insect by people in general. The treatment to control bedbugs is difficult and time consuming because they are very small in size and can hide very small cracks. Of all the other infestations we deal with, this is the one that causes most inconvenience and grief to clients. However, every infestation we’ve treated is 100% eliminated.
Bedbugs have to be taken seriously. It starts with asking proper questions, and determining that you’re dealing with bed bugs. At Bugman-Homesmart Plus, we have the experience to help you in this. Later, we’ll give details about the co-operative preparation, treatment options, cost, and approach. As we discuss your infestation, we can help you determine how you came in contact with bed bugs. If you’ve woken up to bedbug bites or discovered bugs crawling on your skin, call us today. This is the one insect that is a persistent problem and will not go away anytime soon.
Bedbugs are parasitic insects that feed on human blood. Adult bedbugs can range from light brown to reddish-brown. They have flat, oval bodies and have no hind wings, but front wings are vestigial and reduced to pad-like structures. The lifespan of bedbugs depend on feeding and varies from one another. A bedbug pierces the skin of its host and feeds by sucking the blood for about three to five minutes. It withdraws blood, and return to its hiding place. Generally, it takes five to ten minutes for a bedbug to become completely engorged with blood. Though they can live for a year without feeding, they normally try to feed every five to ten days.
Typical Bedbug Scenario
Cluster Fly Program (For Rural/Country Homes)
Bugman-Homesmart Plus came up with a unique approach to get rid of most files that focuses on perimeter wall voids and attics. Hundreds of rural clients are pleased with this result-based program. This approach is referred to as the proven solution to those dozy, nuisance flies. Biology and timing are of high-priority to the success of this program.
We provide our clients with a safe and effective service, available in the Spring, followed by the crucial treatment that is applied at the right time in the Fall. Service tactics may vary house by house. Some clients require Spring and Fall service, while others achieve results with a once per season approach.
Spider/Wasp Program (Choose Your Own Program)
From boats and trailers to homes, cottages and outbuildings, we cover it all. Our safe, environmentally - conscious method is applied by specially calibrated hand-held and truck-mounted equipment. This non-staining water based liquid crack and crevice spot-application is extremely localized and practical.
Our application includes treatment of decks, porches, verandas, soffits, window frames, eaves, and door and window casings where spider activity, webbing, and wasp nests are of particular nuisance. This also helps in preventing spider stains on siding. We can also treat sheds, patio furniture, garages, and more.
Our treatment options include:
Note: Please avoid washing windows before treatment, because spray may drip on them. Either you can arrange your window cleaning after the application or for your convenience, our window cleaning division at Homsmart Plus can follow-up with your window cleaning needs.
Note: We may also have to price and treat the adjacent trees and shrubs for max spider results. Our high infestation applications may require three treatments per season.
We always suggest that you:
Earwig/Crawling Insects (Mostly June-October)
At Bugman-Homesmart Plus, we target these unsightly inspect pests in your BBQ, pool, deck, windows, and doorways with our residual treatment, which includes your house foundation, deck, patio furniture, sheds, woodpile and any other areas where insect population tends to congregate. We wait until this population breaks and then hit them when it counts.
We can also treat the interior of your home based on your requirement. Our main objective is to reduce the numbers of earwigs to non-nuisance levels, because we can never get rid of every earwig present. Our non-staining liquid crack and crevice spot application is both safe and effective, and is applied by specially calibrated equipment. We can also determine the problems that may contribute to this infestation.

Rats, Mice, and Bat Control
Every rodent problem has its own root cause, source, and solution. You can count on Bugman-Homesmart Plus for a detailed inspection and analysis of the situation. Our experts will quickly determine the origin of the infestation and recommend practical, cost-effective control measures. Our low-odour bait and/or rodent devices are deployed in a safe and humane manner. We can also identify and block the entry points around pipes, vents, and other ways for these rodents to enter your home.
This can also encompass attics, storage areas, plumbing pipes, wall voids, basement areas, false ceilings, and wall vents.
Wildlife Services (Not available in all geographic areas)
Wildlife control services include the removal and prevention of squirrels, raccoons, birds, skunks, groundhogs, and more. At Bugman-Homesmart Plus, we believe that wildlife management is an essential part of contemporary urban environmental cohabitation. The major importance of this service is to determine the cause or source of the vertebrate pest problem. This will lead to prevention recommendations. In almost every case, physical exclusion and live trapping is the most common and effective approach to get rid of wildlife. The animal is then released in another area as per MOE guidelines. Later, we block any entry points using steel, mesh, cement, or caulking.

Fleas
In recent times, flea infestations calls have been reduced due to the success of systematic pet treatments such as “REVOLUTION®” and “Advantage®”. These treatment products provide great relief for your cat or dog, though not inexpensive. However, they will not eliminate the infestation within your residence or structure. Most of the flea outbreaks that we address involve the cat flea (Ctenocephalides felis). Usually, the pets bear the burden and buffer people from becoming the main blood meal. This is especially evident when people and pets return from holidays to a hungry flea population.
Due to body chemistry, fleas will also focus their feeding and bites more toward one person in any given household. Again, in order to achieve optimum treatment results, preparation of the clients is very important. We’ll use advanced technology and products to provide you with safe and efficient results. Our technicians will provide you with follow-up service on a regular basis to have ultimate control of the egg-stage. Call us for more details.
Roaches
At Bugman-Homesmart Plus, our insect identification lab or technician can quickly identify which species of roach your property may have. The most common cockroach encountered in Canada is the German roach. We’ll determine the treatment product choices and service approach depending on the roach species and biology. This insect is very evasive, adaptable, and explosive in reproduction rate. You would require an expert with professional knowledge, advanced treatment products and application equipment to treat any established infestation.
If it’s quick moving, with antennae, and active when you switch on the kitchen light at night, consider quick action. Call us for an inspection or advice. We may also recommend you with follow up service and pheromones.
