    SAFE AND SECURE ANT CONTROL SOLUTIONS IN CALGARY

    Ants are social insects that live in colonies. With over 100 different species in Canada proper identification is so important. Knowing the type of ant helps us find the source, and determine the most effective treatment for ant infestations. Ants can be a nuisance inside and outside, entering at a door threshold, or taking over the entire structure. Some could be interested in finding easy access to food and water, while others could be damaging the home by chewing on wood declining its structural integrity. With solutions that range from bait to dusts, aerosols, and even power spraying Cal-Rid can find the right solution for both residential and commercial properties.

    TYPES OF ANTS

    PHARAOH ANTS

    These ants are one of the smallest species at only 1-2mm in length. They are yellow or light brown, almost transparent. They often use wiring or piping to travel through walls, and between floors so are often found in kitchens and bathrooms eating sweet and fatty foods.

    CARPENTER ANTS

    These ants are detectable with their black bodies, red legs and a single node. It's crucial to remove these ants from your property because they nest in wood and can cause severe structural damage if left unchecked. They generally come up in places where wood comes in contact with humidity.

    PAVEMENT ANTS

    These ants have grooves on their head and thorax, with a stinger at the tip of their abdomen. They build their colonies under sidewalks, foundations, compost heaps, bricks and stones. You might find them looking for food on your kitchen counters or in your bathroom.

    We had noise coming from the walls in the basement and my son was all stressed out. Nancy took my call and said Aura will be there in 20 minutes. They both were amazing and empathetic. Aura took care of everything and even went above and beyond to seal the walls so that similar incidents dont happen again. Thank you Nancy and Aura. You both saved the day and the bird that was trapped is now free and living how it was meant to. Highly recommend this company so call them without a doubt. Thank you again.

    My experience with Cal-Rid was exceptional! The booking process with Nancy was seamless and friendly, with clear communication on the preparation list. On-site, Mike, the technician, was fantastic - a great communicator who kept me informed throughout. Cal-Rid exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend them for their excellent service and customer care.Thank you, Cal-Rid, for a job well done!

    Cal- Rid was hired by Calgary Housing to come to my house. The first two visits were fine. The third has been horrible. I contacted both Calgary Housing and Cal-Rid to inform them that I have dogs and I have to be home for the appointment. I specifically specified that then cannot enter.....my 16 year old daughter was home (no ones business) I took time off work for the appointment. They showed up early and guess what.....attempted to enter my home with the Calgary Housing Rep. They violated the safety of my daughter, my dogs and violated my sense of security. It was a good thing I took extra precaution to make sure they couldnt enter. Complete disregard for the safety of the employee and the tenants. Very dissapointing.

    Mike was excellent at checking our house for any possible openings. Haven’t had an issue with mice since he’s been here. Great customer service from the team that takes the calls to the end result. Will definitely have them back for routine maintenance.

    I phoned 3 other pest control companies and was put on hold for each one. I then phoned Cal-Rid and the phone was answered immediately by a very friendly person. We had a very bad wasp problem near our front door and someone came out to our house promptly and sprayed all of the wasps. I was delighted with the customer service and the efficiency. Valerie

    Fantastic company to deal with from start to finish. I had an ant infestation in my backyard underneath my deck. The customer service at Cal-Rid is excellent with quick booking. The technician Glen arrived at the scheduled time and treated the area and other parts of the backyard where ants are located. He was professional, knowledgeable and friendly. The price was very reasonable. I will certainly use Cal-Rid Exterminators for future pest control.
