Of all insects, hornets and wasps are perhaps the ones that generate the most fear and dread across Mississauga. After ‘murder hornets’ or Asian giant hornets were spotted in North America last year, there was widespread fear that they would invade Canada.The social wasp species is native to East Asia and was first sighted in Vancouver Island in August 2019. It has since been regularly sighted near Washington State’s northwest corner. Although these hornets do not attack people, their venom can be more toxic as compared to stings of other bees and wasps. If you sight hornets or wasps of any kind, the best thing to do is to call Pestend Mississauga for safe wasp nest removal.

Rats can have a devastating effect on businesses, especially those in the food industry. Not only can they cause several illnesses, but can also negatively affect brand reputation, operating costs, and revenue. They are also known to gnaw on electrical cables, which can turn into a major fire hazard if they gnaw through to the copper and the wires short out. It can also lead to electrical equipment failure and production downtime. It is not just the food industry, but many businesses all over the world report machine downtime due to rats.
