Carpenter Ants & Fleas Pest Control in Calgary
Dynasty Pest Control can remove the Not-So-Common Pests in Calgary & surrounding cities
Carpenter Ants
At Dynasty Pest Control, we classify carpenter ants as wood-destroying insects that require immediate professional attention the moment they are spotted. Unlike other pests, carpenter ants chew through wood to excavate intricate nesting galleries. In Calgary, these persistent invaders can cause significant structural damage to your home or business if left unchecked, quietly compromising the wood framing of your property from the inside out.
The most common warning sign of an active infestation is the sudden accumulation of “frass”, a sawdust-like debris composed of wood shavings and insect fragments. Because carpenter ants keep their nesting galleries clean, they create dedicated “dump” sites to discard this waste, often leaving piles on baseboards, windowsills, curtains, or floors. Homeowners frequently sweep this debris away, only to find it reappearing in the exact same spot a few days later, which is a clear indicator of a nearby colony.
To eliminate these destructive pests, our Calgary technicians utilize advanced, targeted eradication methods. We deploy a combination of specialized dusts, borate foams, natural baits, and liquid residual applications designed to reach deep inside the walls and destroy the colony at its core. While a single comprehensive treatment is typically highly effective, we may recommend a follow-up service for larger, deep-seated infestations. To ensure your home remains fully protected, our carpenter ant treatments come with a 30, 60, or 90-day satisfaction guarantee tailored to the size and location of the colony.
Fleas
At Dynasty Pest Control, we frequently help Calgary families reclaim their homes and yards from stubborn flea infestations. Completely eradicating fleas requires a highly coordinated, multi-step treatment plan designed to target these resilient pests at every stage of their life cycle, from eggs to adults. Because successful flea elimination relies on a true partnership, our licensed technicians work closely with you, providing clear guidance on essential preparation and post-treatment steps, like treating your family pets and vacuuming key areas. By working together, we can quickly and safely restore a comfortable, itch-free environment for you and your pets.
Treatment Preparation
For our flea treatment to be completely successful, your cooperation is key to breaking the pest cycle. If you have pets, please ensure they are treated for fleas by a veterinarian or with approved products, ideally on the exact day of our service. You will also need to wash all pet bedding using the hottest water setting the fabric can safely handle.
To prepare your home, please thoroughly vacuum all carpeted areas approximately 1 to 2 hours before our technician arrives. As soon as you are finished, empty the vacuum canister or seal the vacuum bag and place it directly in an outdoor trash bin so no lingering pests can escape back inside.
To make sure your home is fully prepared, please read our comprehensive Flea Preparation Guide.
Green Pest Control for Fleas
At Dynasty Pest Control, we protect your indoor spaces using premium, low-impact organic products. To keep your family safe and ensure the treatment is completely successful, we ask that you follow these crucial post-care steps:
- Vacate the property temporarily: Both people and pets must remain out of the home for at least two and a half hours after we complete the treatment to allow the application to dry completely.
- The next morning: Thoroughly vacuum all carpeted areas and immediately dispose of the vacuum bag or empty the canister directly into an outdoor trash bin.
- Two days post-treatment: Repeat this vacuuming process once more, again discarding the contents in your outdoor bin to catch any newly hatched fleas before they can reproduce.
While these steps might seem strict, clients who follow this protocol closely rarely ever need a follow-up treatment. It is the ultimate way to break the flea life cycle for good. Additionally, if we determine that the infestation has spread outdoors, we can also apply targeted treatments to the shaded spots in your yard and your pet’s favorite outdoor lounge areas to establish a complete barrier.
