Q: What regions do you serve?
A: Natura Pest Control proudly serves residential, commercial, and industrial properties in northern New Brunswick, including the Bathurst, Acadian Peninsula, Miramichi, and Campbellton regions. As a local company, we fully understand the seasonal pest challenges unique to our coastal and forested areas.
​
Q: Are your treatments safe for children and pets?
A: Yes, absolutely. The safety of your family is our top priority. We use an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach. This means we prioritize structural exclusion and targeted applications of Health Canada-approved products. We also offer low-impact environmental solutions. We will always explain the specific safety guidelines to you before beginning any work.
​
Q: When do Carpenter Ants become active in New Brunswick, and how do you spot them?
A: In New Brunswick, carpenter ants typically wake up in early spring (around April or May) as temperatures rise. You are likely to see large black ants near kitchen counters, windowsills, or baseboards. A sign of infestation in your walls is the presence of "frass" (a pile of small wood shavings and insect debris) that the ants push out of their galleries.
​
Q: Do I need to leave my home during the treatment?
A: That depends on the type of pest and the required treatment. For standard exterior barriers or bait placements (such as for rodents or ant infestations), leaving the premises is generally not necessary. For more intensive treatments, we may recommend leaving the house for 2 to 4 hours as a precaution. Our technician will clearly explain the preparation steps during the initial assessment.
​
Q: How can I permanently get rid of mice in my home?
A: The secret to permanently eliminating mice lies not only in traps, but primarily in structural exclusion. Our technicians thoroughly inspect your property to identify all potential entry points (foundation cracks, gaps around pipes, openings under siding). We seal these access points with durable materials and implement a monitoring program to eliminate any rodents already inside.
​
Q: Do you offer seasonal insect prevention contracts?
A: Yes, absolutely. In New Brunswick, waves of heat and humidity lead to sudden spikes in insect activity (spiders, earwigs, mosquitoes, ants). We offer customized seasonal protection programs for both homes and businesses. Our preventative exterior treatments create a protective barrier around your building to keep pests from entering as soon as spring arrives.
​
Q: What is the difference between a carpenter ant infestation and a pavement ant infestation?
A: The major difference lies in their location and the damage they cause. Pavement ants typically nest in the soil, under concrete, or beneath paving stones, and enter buildings searching for food. In contrast, carpenter ants are much larger and chew galleries directly into the damp or rotting structural wood of your home to establish their colony. If you see fine sawdust near your walls, it is almost always carpenter ants, which requires rapid professional intervention to prevent costly structural damage.
​
Q: Do you offer emergency pest management services?
A: We understand that a pest infestation can quickly become a major source of stress. That is why we offer fast and flexible services within our primary service areas (Bathurst, Miramichi, Acadian Peninsula, Campbellton). As soon as you call, we schedule an intervention as quickly as possible to inspect, secure, and treat your issue.
​
Q: Are your backyard mosquito treatments effective in the long term?
A: Our targeted outdoor treatments are designed to drastically reduce mosquito and tick populations in your yard. By combining the elimination and treatment of standing water zones (where they breed) with the application of protective products on the surrounding vegetation (where they rest), we allow you to fully enjoy your summer. The barrier remains active for about three weeks, and we offer regular follow-ups throughout the hot season.
