The fifth November
The boiler room fills every fall. Traps work for a week. Framework starts at the sill, the parkade sleeve, and the door that no longer meets the slab.
Compare
A spray calendar is not a strategy.
Conventional pest control is organized around the organism you can see. Framework is organized around the assembly that invited it. Same city. Different product.
Side by side
Six questions that expose the product you are actually buying.
| Question | Conventional vendor | Framework Pest |
|---|---|---|
| Unit of analysis | The species you can see | The assembly that invited it |
| Default product | Chemistry on a calendar | Exclusion hardware and detailing |
| Success metric | Quiet until the next visit | Pathway closed, evidence on file |
| Calgary climate | Mostly ignored | Freeze-thaw and Chinooks drive the spec |
| What the owner receives | A spray ticket | A ranked map, photos, and a close-out |
| When chemicals are used | By default | Only while the door is being locked |
| The program | Monthly fog you cancel in collections | A written cadence. Seasonal or quarterly. You can leave. The file stays yours. |
| The appointment | A maybe, or a no-show | A window in writing. We say so if we miss it |
| Mice in November, again | Another bait station | The joint, photographed, closed, and warranted for the season |
When people switch
Three buildings we see every season.
The audit is on the calendar
A brand or health visit does not want a fog log. It wants photos of closed docks, a waste-room spec, and a technician who can write.
The portfolio does not compare
Five vendors, five stories, one REIT. Stewardship is a master spec and a quarterly view — not another invoice format.
A spray program looks cheaper because it capitalizes nothing. The true cost is the fifth November of the same boiler-room mice, the tenant who does not renew, and the audit that asks why the dock still does not meet the slab. Read the exclusion spec.
Switching
If you already have a vendor.
Can we keep our current vendor for spray and hire you for the envelope?
Sometimes. Many clients keep an applicator for residual work and hire Framework for diagnosis and exclusion. Others replace the roster once the spec exists. We will say which is honest.
Is this more expensive than a spray visit?
A single visit can be. A year of sequels is not. We quote the file, not a door hang.
Get the building back.
Inspect, treat, close the gap. Book an inspection or call — we will tell you if you need a visit or a watch-and-wait.
