By organism

Mice, wasps, ants, cockroaches, moths, bed bugs. Each one tells you which joint failed, or when the honest next step is a refer.

[01 · Mice Mice Signs Droppings, rub marks, scratching, or a gap a pencil fits. Risk One mouse in September is a winter kitchen if the joint stays open. Treatment Inspect, treat what is inside, and close the 6 mm gaps. Follow-up The joints go on a list, then we check that they stayed closed.](https://www.frameworkpest.ca/pests/rodents/)

[02 · Wasps Wasps Signs A steady flight line to an eave, a soffit, or a hole in the ground. Risk A nest over the door or the play area does not wait for Saturday. Treatment Remove the nest, then screen the void. Follow-up The opening we closed stays closed. A trap does not end the nest.](https://www.frameworkpest.ca/pests/wasps/)

[03 · Ants Ants Signs A trail at the counter, the slab joint, or wet wood. Risk The trail returns if irrigation or an open joint stays. Treatment Name the species, treat the active colony, and note the moisture. Follow-up The joint and the water go on the list. A spring spray does not.](https://www.frameworkpest.ca/pests/ants/)

[04 · Cockroaches Cockroaches Signs Droppings, shed skins, and live activity at night near heat, water, and plumbing. Risk They travel between suites through wall voids and pipe penetrations, so one unit's problem becomes the building's. Treatment Monitor to find the source, bait what is active, then seal the routes between units. Follow-up Scheduled rechecks until activity stops. This is a program, not a single visit.](https://www.frameworkpest.ca/pests/cockroaches/)

[05 · Bed bugs Bed bugs Signs Spots, cast skins, or bites that line up with where someone sleeps. Risk Spraying first scatters them and smears the evidence. Treatment We inspect and name it. Whole-suite heat is a refer, not a mouse visit. Follow-up You get a name and the next step. Not a room plan sold as a cure.](https://www.frameworkpest.ca/pests/bed-bugs/)

[06 · Stored product Stored-product pests Signs Moths or beetles in a kitchen, a pantry, or a dining room. Risk The adult is what you see. The source is often a bag and a ceiling void. Treatment Find the product and the void. Do not fog the room. Follow-up Source gone, void noted, a file an inspector can read.](https://www.frameworkpest.ca/pests/stored-product/)
