Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our pest control services.
Are your treatments safe for pets and children?▼
Yes. Safety is our top priority. We use Integrated Pest Management (IPM) techniques which focus on targeting pests specifically while minimizing exposure to non-targets. For treatments that do require vacating the premises (like fumigation or heat treatment), we provide strict re-entry protocols to ensure your family remains safe.
Do you offer a warranty?▼
Absolutely. Most of our services come with a standard warranty (typically 3-6 months depending on the pest). If the pests return within the warranty period, we will re-treat at no additional cost.
How quickly can you get here?▼
We offer same-day and next-day service in most areas (Toronto, Mississauga, Oakville, Scarborough, etc.). For emergency situations, we have 24/7 dispatched technicians.
Do you remove raccoons without hurting them?▼
Yes. Durapest specializes in humane wildlife removal. We use one-way doors that allow the animal to leave your attic or deck on its own but prevent it from getting back in. We do not use leg-hold traps or poisons for wildlife.
How do I prepare for a bed bug treatment?▼
Proper preparation is crucial for success. Generally, you will need to declutter floors, wash all bedding in hot water, and move furniture away from walls. We will provide you with a detailed "Prep Sheet" checklist before our arrival.
