You show us what you saw. We inspect and name it. Then we treat what is there, close the freeze–thaw gaps, and follow up. Pest control for homes and businesses — inspect first, no guessed spray.

No. Framework Pest Ltd. practices structural pest control in Calgary: diagnosis of the building envelope, exclusion engineering, monitoring, and targeted intervention only where a population already exists. Spray-and-leave is not the product.

Structural pest control treats pest pressure as a failure of the building — joints, penetrations, docks, weeps, and voids — rather than as a species to be sprayed. The work is to find the pathway, close it with materials that survive prairie weather, and document that it stayed closed.

Yes. Detached homes and infill houses in Calgary present the same envelope problems at a smaller scale — especially grade transitions, decks, and garage walls. The method does not change.

Calgary and the surrounding region, including Airdrie, Cochrane, Chestermere, Okotoks, and High River. Portfolio work is scoped across Alberta by arrangement.

When an active population requires it, we use Health Canada-registered products according to label and occupancy. Every intervention is paired with a plan to close the pathway so chemistry is not the annual plan.

Yes. Design consultation is a core service. The least expensive exclusion is the one specified correctly before occupancy.

Planned assessments are typically scheduled within one to two weeks. Buildings with occupancy, food, or clinical pressure are triaged sooner. Call 825 747 5787 or book an inspection and mark urgency.

Yes. A single inspection is the usual start. Most houses and every portfolio then belong on a written stewardship program — seasonal or quarterly — so freeze-thaw does not reopen the same joint and the practice is not rediscovering your building every November. You can leave. The file stays yours. What we will not do is collect on a spray calendar you never understood.

Then a pathway is still open. If a joint we closed reopens in the first freeze-thaw season, we come back to that joint. Recurring mice after a spray visit with no photo of a closed assembly is the pattern we refuse.

A window, in writing, before anyone drives. If we miss it, we tell you first.

No. Quote before the truck moves. The scope is the file, not a technician inventing extras at the dock.

Yes. Food, hospitality, and healthcare clients receive photo evidence, pathway inventories, and visit records written for an auditor — not a spray ticket.

Integrated pest management is the decision framework (inspect, threshold, intervene). Structural pest control is our position inside that framework: the highest-leverage intervention is closing the building. IPM without exclusion is still a spray calendar with better notes.

Yes. A house mouse can pass a gap of about 6 mm — roughly the width of a ballpoint pen. Calgary freeze-thaw routinely produces those gaps at pipe sleeves, door bottoms, and cladding weeps.

No. It is a two-minute ranking so we arrive already knowing the likely tier — watch, survey, close, or urgent. Diagnosis still happens on the building.
