Now a local pest control expert says pigeons aren’t just a problem for transit users, Randy Bilesky of Go Green Pest Control out of a Delta, says he gets calls from businesses and homeowners about the birds and says you can actually copy some of translates Pigeon prevention methods at home.

So here is an example of spikes that we use, there plastic but there are not too sharp and the birds just can’t land on it, there are other ways – you can put up mesh or a net that just stops them from coming in and then there’s also wire which we could on the sides of buildings or where their landing, the wire is raised up a few inches and the birdies just cant land and balance on the wire.

He says adding decoy predators like plastic owls, hawks or eagles may also help, but if you are feeding them then expect them to stick.

It’s not your imagination, spiders are getting bigger

Spider sightings are on the rise in metro Vancouver – populations way up

Wednesday, October 31, 2018, 2:59 PM – It isn’t just your imagination: sightings of spiders are on the rise in Metro Vancouver this fall, and, according to one pest controller, they’re bigger than ever. Pest control specialist Randy Bilesky has seen a 50 per cent increase in calls to his service this season over last. “People panic … we get the phone call after someone has walked through a spider web,” said Bilesky. “They are sure it’s still in their hair, especially if it is one of the big hobo spiders.” Spider season is usually over by the end of September. But the long, warm summer has these uninvited guests overstaying a barely-there welcome, says Bilesky — and getting bigger in the process, he adds. “Spiders are huge right now, larger than I’ve ever seen before,” said Bilesky, who partly attributes their growth to climate change. “The spiders get a jump on summer by having a warmer spring and in fall the weather stays warmer longer, so they grow larger because there are more insects out there.” The giant house spider and its relative the hobo spider are common throughout B.C. “Spiders don’t come into your bed at night and bite you, that’s not a thing they do,” she said.

Spiders getting bigger as season grows longer, says pest controller Randy Bilesky of Go Green Pest Control & Exterminators

It isn’t just your imagination: sightings of spiders are on the rise in Metro Vancouver this fall, and, according to one pest controller, they’re bigger than ever.
Pest control specialist Randy Bilesky has seen a 50 per cent increase in calls to his service this season over last. “People panic … we get the phone call after someone has walked through a spider web,” said Bilesky. “They are sure it’s still in their hair, especially if it is one of the big hobo spiders.”

Spider season is usually over by the end of September. But the long, warm summer has these uninvited guests overstaying a barely-there welcome, says Bilesky — and getting bigger in the process, he adds.

“Spiders are huge right now, larger than I’ve ever seen before,” said Bilesky, who partly attributes their growth to climate change.

“The spiders get a jump on summer by having a warmer spring and in fall the weather stays warmer longer, so they grow larger because there are more insects out there.”

‘Little feet running across the room’

The giant house spider and its relative the hobo spider are common throughout B.C.

They are typically brown with a chevron pattern on their abdomen with a leg span that might seem, to some, like it’s a metre wide — but is actually closer to eight centimetres.

The likelihood one is within a few feet of you right now is high. But Scott says fear not — these spiders are completely harmless, and are actually good for your home because they eat other pesky insects like mosquitoes and flies.

Prevention before extermination

But Bilesky, an exterminator with Go Green Pest Control, is seeing plenty of fear right now. His company has had 39 calls so far this season, compared with 26 last year.

And while his first step is to caution his clients on prevention — like filling cracks in ceilings and baseboards, and keeping doors and windows closed — all he hears from the front steps of his petrified clients’ homes is fear.

“I usually get the blank look [that says], ‘I prefer something that’s going to kill them now. Or yesterday.'”

For the less squeamish, Scott advocates relocating the arachnids with what she calls the cup-and-card technique, where you put a glass over the spider, then slip a paper underneath it and deliver it back into the wild.
