Has anyone dealt with any company in the GTA, that has done a good job at reasonable price?

I used Rentokil around 15 yrs ago. Solved my problem. What they do is drill holes and inject a powder in. The ants take the powder back to the nest and feed it to the queen who dies. End of story.

One hint though...try to find the source/nest or the guys going to be drilling holes all over the place and you're going to have to fill them and repaint...this will also add to the cost.

Thanks for help. Was this an all day process? How soon after could you return to your home?

You've gone 15 years without an ant problem after the initial application?

Actually pretty quick. All he did was drill a bunch of holes in the drywall and shoot some kind of powder in there....then he used masking tape to block the hole in case he had to come back and do it again. If you have a good idea of the next location where the queen is, he can pretty much eliminate her and end of problem. Never had the problem again after that one application so I filled the holes and painted.

Good luck.
