Flea Treatment in Etobicoke

Etobicoke is raccoon country. The Kingsway, Thorncrest Village, and the streets around Princess Margaret Boulevard have some of the biggest mature trees in the city — and those trees give raccoons direct highway access to rooflines. Cedar shake roofs, which are common in the Kingsway, are the easiest material for raccoons to tear through. South of the Gardiner, it is a different story. Mimico and Long Branch have waterfront rat activity that people do not expect — Norway rats burrowing under foundations near the lake. The Lakeshore condo boom has introduced bed bug and cockroach problems to what used to be a quiet, low-density area. Up in Rexdale, the townhome complexes along Kipling deal with mice moving between shared walls, and cockroaches in the older apartment towers along Islington.
