Client Feedback
What Our Customers Say
Used the service in 2024 and already renewed for 2025. Perfect way to protect the family from mosquitos. The fumigation is quick, the serviceman really courteous and low key. Highly recommended!
Excellent results! We enjoy our property so much more without those pesky mosquitos munching on us. The entire team have been great to work with! Looking forward to another bug-less summer.
Great experience! We live in the country and the mosquitos are terrible but this stuff works great and allows us to enjoy the outdoors more! Griffin is the best!! Super nice and works really hard!!!
I was able to enjoy my yard the whole summer season. When having to rebook a follow up session or move my appointment it was done with no issues whatsoever. I have already secured my coverage for next year.

Pest Control in Across Canada
Professional Firebrat Control Across Canada
Firebrats are closely related to silverfish, but they are particularly associated with warm environments. They often inhabit areas near furnaces, boilers, heating systems, and insulation.
These nocturnal insects feed on starchy materials, including paper, glue, fabrics, and certain stored food products. Their feeding activity can damage household belongings and stored materials over time.
Because firebrats hide in narrow gaps and concealed spaces, a thorough inspection is important for locating activity. Mosquito Man’s service focuses on high-risk indoor areas, including basements, attics, boiler rooms, and heating equipment.
Technicians identify hiding places, moisture issues, and accessible entry points before applying targeted interior treatment to affected cracks, crevices, and other suitable locations.
The service also includes recommendations for reducing humidity and limiting conditions that support recurring infestations.
Our 5-Step Firebrat Control Process
Step 1
Inspect the Property for Firebrat Activity
A technician performs a detailed inspection of the property to identify firebrats and determine the extent of the infestation.
Inspection focuses on high-risk areas such as basements, attics, boiler rooms, and locations around heating systems.
Step 2
Identify Hiding Places and Contributing Conditions
The technician examines cracks, crevices, insulation, and other concealed spaces where firebrats may shelter.
The inspection also considers humidity, moisture issues, and accessible entry points.
Step 3
Develop a Targeted Treatment Plan
Treatment planning reflects the affected rooms, identified hiding places, accessibility, and extent of activity.
The technician identifies suitable treatment locations and provides any necessary preparation instructions.
Step 4
Apply Professional Interior Firebrat Treatment
Professional-grade treatment is applied to appropriate cracks, crevices, and affected areas where firebrats are active.
Applications follow product-label directions and the technician’s safety instructions.
Recommend Prevention and Monitor Activity
The technician provides recommendations for reducing humidity and addressing conditions that support firebrat activity.
Homeowners should monitor previously affected locations and report continuing sightings so further service needs can be assessed.
Canadian Seasonal Firebrat Control Calendar
January–February
Inspect boiler rooms, furnace areas, insulation, and heated utility spaces where firebrats may remain active.
March–April
Check warm, humid areas and concealed storage locations where firebrats may continue indoor activity.
May–June
Inspect basements, attics, heating systems, and stored materials where warm conditions may support firebrat activity.
July–August
Monitor warm utility rooms, insulation, and concealed cracks where heat and humidity can contribute to favourable conditions for firebrats.
September–October
Inspect boiler rooms, attics, and areas containing paper or stored goods where firebrats may remain active indoors.
November–December
Monitor furnace areas, heating equipment, insulation, and nearby storage spaces where warm conditions may support firebrat activity.
Unlike pests whose activity is strongly associated with outdoor seasons, firebrats can remain active throughout the year in sufficiently warm indoor environments. In Ontario, monitoring should focus on heat, humidity, food sources, and suitable hiding places rather than outdoor temperature alone.

From the Mosquito Man Firebrat Control Team

We inspect these areas to identify active hiding places, moisture issues, and the extent of the infestation before applying targeted treatment. Reducing humidity and monitoring affected storage areas are also important parts of managing recurring activity.”
