Guard More Pest Control HomeStars Reviews

Had a raccoon family living in my shed. Gary analyzed the situation and got to work immediately. He goes above and beyond to explain how they think and how they typically get into areas to nest. He successfully lured them out (ethically), secured vulnerable areas of the house, and documented his work along the way. Highly recommended if you’re having similar issues. Rare to have contractors so passionate and meticulous about the work.

Gary and his teammate came in a very short time, as promised to solve our racoon problem. They were both efficient and professional. They checked all areas where a racoon could had possibly entered our attic and ensured escape through the one-way gate, before installing a permanent mesh the week after that. I unreservedly recommend the services of Guard More Pest Control Inc. to anyone who experienced a similar situation.

Gary did a great job removing 2 different wasps nests at my parents place. During the first visit, it was raining, and therefore the insecticide was not as effective. I reached out to Gary after still seeing wasps after 2 days, and he came back to do a second spray of the area. I appreciate his honestly and thoroughness with the job.

Gary did an excellent job removing the wasp nests that ruined our summer. The nest was inside a structure with no way to access, and Gary was able to completely neutralize the colony. He also removed a different nest that was 30 ft high on the soffit.

I had a hole in the wooden siding of my house and was unsure if animals had gotten into the walls. Gary arrived precisely on time, quickly assessed the situation and determined the animals had not bitten through. He push wire mesh over the hole and charged a very reasonable price. This was overall a very pleasant experience. Thanks, Gary!

I had wasps living in a weep hole above my window. Gary came by and was quick and efficient. It’s been a day and I haven’t seen any wasps come back so far. Also sprayed some rodent repellent to keep raccoons away.

Gary was great! Had problems with wasps on my upper roof deck and he came immediately with a repeat visit as needed! Really appreciated the professional advice and service.

My pest issue was not typical as food moths are usually dealt with eliminating contaminated products. The situation was at a rental unit and was out of control. So many moths and cocoons in the cupboards, on the wall and ceiling in the kitchen and bathroom. Wrote to Homestars.com describing my situation and the same day Gary from Guard More Pest Control sent me a message and next day we were able to talk and meet for an estimate. The same week we set an appointment. Garry came prepared, placed pheromone monitoring traps and sprayed the area with chemicals. Big improvement after first treatment but we scheduled second because we know moths hatch and multiply. Overall great communication and great experience.

Recently I could hear insects fluttering and gnawing at the wood through my kitchen window from time to time during the day. After Gary learned about this issue, he explained the solution in detail and addressed my concerns. He visited my place and applied the area with a targeted pesticide, then reminding me to observe the situation for a period of time. The entire communication and service process was smooth, quick, professional, and friendly. Thank you to Gary, and I think Guard More Pest Control can be one of service providers for a long-term partnership.

Guard More were super responsive, super honest and got the job done. So far so good but I'm not worried because if any wasps in 2 weeks I call and they come back no charge. They also provided me with lots of information for friend which was super appreciated. I will refer and use them again without hesitation for any jobs I have in the future. Thank you so much!

I have an ongoing raccoon problem in my backyard. Gary from Guard More Pest Control Inc exceeded my expectations! He was professional, helpful and friendly. He removed the raccoon feces off of my deck and cleaned up the area (this is an after photo of the cleanup, where the wood used to be a black colour). He sprayed animal repellent and bug spray at the front of my house and in my backyard. He also put a mesh cover to prevent the raccoons from returning (see attached picture). Gary went above and beyond with the services and his prices are reasonable. I'm very happy that Gary reached out to me, and I would definitely recommend him to family and friends!

Super easy. Very communicative, punctual, and works quick. Was in and out and solved my pest control issue in a timely manner and excellent clean up after. 10/10 would hire again.
