Mites are microscopic or near-invisible pests that cause intense skin irritation, allergic reactions, and stress. XtermaPro identifies the species and applies targeted treatment.
Ontario homeowners encounter several pest mite species. Bird mites (from bird or rodent nests) cause intense biting irritation. Clover mites are tiny red mites that invade homes in spring and fall in large numbers harmless but alarming. Rodent mites follow mice and rat infestations into homes. Dust mites, though invisible, are a leading cause of asthma and allergic reactions in Ontario homes.
Signs of a mite problem:
Biting mites cause significant discomfort intense itching, red welts, and skin irritation. Bird mites can survive weeks inside a home after their host bird has left. Dust mite allergens are a major trigger for asthma in Ontario. The psychological stress of a biting mite infestation is also well-recognized and should not be dismissed.
Effective mite treatment depends entirely on identifying the species. Bird mites require treating the source nest and the home interior. Rodent mites require eliminating the rodent infestation first. Clover mite invasions are treated with perimeter and entry point treatment in spring and fall. We perform a thorough inspection to identify the species before treating.

Transparent pricing always. We explain exactly what we're doing before we start.
In Ontario homes the most common are dust mites, bird mites from old nests, rodent mites from previous rodent infestations, clover mites that invade in spring, and spider mites that affect houseplants. Species identification is step one because treatment is different for each.
Dust mites do not bite. They trigger allergy and asthma symptoms but you will never feel them. If you have visible bite marks, the likely culprits are bird mites, rodent mites, bed bugs, or fleas. We identify bites and sample surfaces during the inspection.
Remove or treat the host source, meaning old bird nests in soffits, dead rodents in wall voids, or active rodent infestations. Then apply a residual to the affected rooms. Mites die off within 7 to 21 days once the host is gone.
Yes. Residuals are applied to baseboards, cracks, and surfaces where mites travel, not on bedding, play areas, or food contact surfaces. You are given a safe to re enter time, usually 2 to 4 hours after the visit.
Dust mite reduction relies on low humidity (below 50 percent), allergen proof mattress and pillow covers, hot water washing of bedding weekly, and frequent vacuuming with a HEPA filter. Our report includes a dust mite reduction plan if that is the target species.
