British Columbia is home to at least 20 types of rodents. Norway rats are the most common species of rat, and are the ones most commonly found in British Columbia. Rats and other rodents can carry and transmit diseases via their feet, urine, feces, or through their bite. The average rat can produce up to 100 droppings and up to 2 teaspoons of urine in a single day.
In a protected and warm environment like a home or business, mice can live for 2-3 years, and the female can often have up to 10 litters per year, so the population of rodents can quickly get out of control! The common mouse can eat almost anything but prefer eating insects and cereal, so keeping your kitchen spotless is a critical step when it comes to getting a mouse infestation under control.
There are over 75,000 species of wasps; the most common in Greater Victoria are Yellow Jacket, Paper Wasps, and Hornets. Wasps are generally beneficial insects. In early summer they pollinate flowers and plants, much like bees do, and are important to the ecosystem. However, once they penetrate your home, they become pests.
Check out these tips for preventing household pests, pest infestations and the potentially dangerous health and property threats they pose. Find out how to prevent bugs and rodents from entering your home, and how to protect your family and property. Seal cracks and holes on the outside of the home including entry points for utilities and pipes.
Do-it-yourself off the shelf products for killing insects are usually not powerful enough for long-term effectiveness. They usually kill the visible pests but miss the hidden ones, ensuring a recurring issue. When discovered early in an uncluttered environment, bedbugs can be dealt with much more easily.

Johnny was first class. He arrived on time (sometimes ahead of time!), was thoughtful, courteous, informative and professional. Having to deal with rodents, and knowing I have a dog, he was careful about the placement of the traps. I would recommend Johnny and PSI.

Yesterday, Mike from PSI Pest Scene Investigations came to our home, and destroyed and removed a wasp nest in the ceiling of our bedroom. He was very communicative, friendly, knowledgeable, calm -- and his work was powerful and thorough. The price was very reasonable, and it could not have been better service.

PSI has been our go-to when anything pest-related comes up at our house. I have always found Marlin and Johnny to be super helpful and professional in dealing with our needs. Our most recent call was related to rats and Johnny was there shortly after I put the call in, which was very much appreciated!
I would definitely recommend this company to anyone! Thanks!

We have used PSI a few times over the years for various issues from huge hornets nests to Otters living under our house and most recently a big rat problem in our vents/basement. PSI has always been professional and their techs are great. Most recently for our rodent issue, the company sent Johnny Marshman who was excellent in all facets of his service delivery. Not only was he punctual and professional, but he solved the problem almost immediately and returned to make sure it stayed solved for us. It's hard to find great service these days, but PSI and in particular, Johnny, really champion the
