With 50 years of experience in the pest control industry, we are proud to serve Beaverton, Ontario, and the surrounding areas in Brock Township, Durham, City of Kawartha Lakes, Haliburton, Simcoe, York Region and the Greater Toronto Area.
Starting his pest control career as a service technician in 1974 with one of the largest pest control companies in Canada and becoming a supervisor and then manager, Gary Stadey decided to open his own business. Pestex Extermination Services was established in Toronto in 1984.
Several years later, upon relocating to the country, Pestex was re-branded as Great Gray Owl Pest Control, inspired by the majestic great gray owl. Fascinated with this awesome bird of prey, Gary and his wife Susan became avid great gray owl fans, observing as many as 25 up close during one of the birds' rare visits to the region in 2005.
Our love of nature and wildlife makes us all the more environmentally conscientious and mindful of how we conduct our business and our personal lives.
We practice the principles of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) using the least toxic methods and non-chemical preventive and exclusion measures whenever possible to achieve successful outcomes for our customers while keeping the environment and wildlife habitat safe.
