Awesome advice
Great prices, products and services. Staff always friendly. Helping someone right now get heat treatment of personal items on their site at Poulin's.
Super polite, knowledgeable and helpful: keeping customers moving in and out with Covid19 requirements: painless shopping experience.
Worst service quality, no puntuality, Inexperienced staff, extremely slow, you can bring better solution then them. They have their own pace. If you have some pest related issue, consider it will be assesd in a month after you complain. They are that slow that you will resolve the issue on you own because of suffering and for the sake of your family. We live on Kimberlay street. Our appartment gave order to Poulin's. Order was send to Polin's on 23 dec, since then it has been 2 weeks and they have visited twice just to tell us they will come next week. Surprise is the representative is doing nothing. Looks like they are making money by just visiting and passing time. I have never seen that dumb professionals in winnipeg. We have taken some steps on our own due to which we are able to stay at that place otherwise it was one day when we were thinking about calling police because we had caught 62 mices in our suit.

The person I spoke 2 was very polite & I felt like I mattered & that my concerns mattered. That's rare these days. The appointment was scheduled within 7 days which made me feel I was in good hands.
Poulin's exterminator was immature, disrespectful, and unprofessional. I was unable to be home today when Poulin's was scheduled to perform a precautionary treatment in my apartment, so my building manager let them in and locked up after they were done. When the Poulin's employee was finished the treatment, a second Poulin's employee entered my unit at which point the first employee pointed out my security system and began to mock the idea of being monitored while alone in my home! The first Poulin's employee went as far as to walk up to one device to speak directly into it! "...INCASE THIS GUY'S RECORDING US." Poulin's exterminator was immature, disrespectful, and unprofessional. Poulin's will never be welcome in my home again.
Great help with all your questions
Ok place but some of the employee's are snobbish
Amazing customer service. Highly recommend them, aren't pushy and trying to upsell. Truly an amazing experience!
Hand down best place for all your rodent infestation needs. With a knowledgeable staff to help figure out what ever problems you may have. And conveniently located in the heart of the city.
You got a problem with pests this is a place to go they can help you out.
They sent me on a wild goose chase that they should have fixed the first time. More details later
Got some traps and spray for bed bugs to at least give us peace and mind before the exterminators came to treat my apartment gotta love those sketchy neighbors bringing in furniture they leave out in the hall for a week
Staff are knowledgeable. Quick checkout
I phoned them for the second time in a few years and, once again, they said I'd have to wait for 2 to 3 weeks. I phoned someone else and they were able to help me within an hour. Poulins would have charged me $199 and the company that's doing the job is $85. I'll never call Poulins again.
I bought some cockroaches killer bit didn't work.
They couldn't be bothered to call me back so I went with a company that could.
Staff was friendly and knowledgeable, knew exactly what I needes and made the entire transaction smooth and painless.
Excellent service and products. Parking access difficult.
Staff was very helpful and answered all my questions.
Very helpful. Got rid of my ants.
Extremely knowledgeable staff. Will be recommending you to everyone!!!
Very helpful and polite staff!
The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable, and help keep people from panicking. :)
They will only put poison out even though I have a cat who will eat the mice, cost effective isn’t always best.... I asked that there be no poison involved and they said it’s the only way cost effective way. But it’s not the only way? They also tried to convince me that the poison is only deadly to the mice, so if I ate the Poison I’d be okay?
Very nice staff. Clean establishment
Clearly not interested in customer service..
Very knowledgeable!
Very knowledgeable!
Helpful staff when purchasing do it yourself pest supplies and the best exterminators you could hire.
Great customer service and excellent product variety
Very helpful and friendly service.
This sort of company needs a different way of evaluating. The loss of the one star is unfair to them really. As a subjective evaluation I was disappointed that it took 10 days to get an exterminator out, that was the only problem and is not really their fault, and the final result will not be obvious for several days. Anyhow, I have a large underground wasp nest in my flower bed. I was not too badly stung when I discovered it, but I don't dare try to work in that area of the yard until it is dealt with. I tried a commercial DIY wasp bomb to little effect. Although it did make them mad. The main nest is well separated fron the entrances and the kill on contact poisons do not penetrate to the nest itself. Poulins has a powder based poison that they spread around the entrances so that the wasps drag it through the nest, but it takes several days to take effect. You can buy the material yourself from them, but they have better applicators, and I have not needed to resort to such treatments in over 20 years so I just paid them to come do the job. Once here the guy was friendly, efficient and pretty thorough. He checked out a couple of other areas I was concerned about and did a very good job. I have been monitoring the nest and seen a decline in activity. Yesterday I used a stick (a nice LONG stick) and gave the ground a good thumping but only 3 wasps came out to investigate and did not fly far in their search. Last week it was tens of sentries and they even attacked my wife standing over 3 meters away. There is still a week to go on the original wait time, but the exterminator said if there was still activity by Wed to call to schedule a follow up, included in original charge, as they would probably need a second application. Ok, time has passed. The little so and so's dug a new entrance and avoided the initial application.The nest seemed to be recovering but Poulins came back at no charge and laid down new applications of the powder. About 8 days later I tried hitting the wall with a shovel and nothing came after me. Looks like the nest is dead.

Very promt and helpful
Very helpful staff, than you.
The man came to our house and put mouse poison in traps both outside and in. He explained how to poison works and pointed out the places the mice were getting in the house. I appreciated his thoroughness.
Moved in to my new apt in Oct. By Nov 1 I contacted the landlord and management company regarding bed bugs. 6 treatments later, I'm still finding bed bugs. Have I done all of the prep work, absolutely and likely way more than most! And no, I have not once been compensated by the landlord. Not Poulins problem, however, 6 TREATMENTS seriously? Poulins has been a minimum of 1.5 to 4 hrs late every single time! This is a huge problem considering I 1) work for a living 2) have a dog 3) making arrangements to be out of the apt for a min of 4 hrs after treatment is tough for myself and the dog when you can't guarantee what time they will be on site! When I have called to ask when they will be here cause they are already late, I was told by the, very young, rude and unprofessional, receptionist the following "I don't know, I cannot call him and call your management company not us". Yes, they've turned my apt upside down etc, not expected but understandable I guess. Just wish I would've known. Now I do it for them by removing the mattress and box spring as well as couch cushions etc and everything away from the walls. After 6 treatments and I'm told they will be coming back next week for another, I'm down with what needs to be done. However, after the last treatment, I was notified that I didn't prepare the apt well enough! Unfortunately, I have no choice on this whole matter. If I did, I'd never use Poulins again! I can't even move to avoid the issue any longer cause I'll just be bringing the damn bugs with me!
This is the go to spot for all your pesty problems. Thanks for helping me solve my mice problems.

Great service, very helpful exterminator; great knowledge in store n out; thanks again Don
Great Service and Advice. Always take care of my Pest problem.
Always has what we need
Very helpful with information and customer service is great ask any question if you need help and they will freely answer
Great service and advice there. Certain products like mice traps are priced slightly higher than big box stores, but I would pay it because of the better advice and service I received there.
This is a really good place to go. Especially for any kinda critter control. The staff are very friendly and extremely helpful. An I would recommend this place for all pest control
Great friendly staff, I was looking for fogging chemical for my mosquito fogger.
Awesome customer service
Stock up on pest supplies
When you have mice it can get pretty stressful. When we called Poulin's they could not come for three weeks. So I'm asking them "What do we do till then?" He tell me to make sure to make ALL food inaccessible. Then set out the traps. Sure enough, it worked. Thanks guys.
The guy that came to my place to spray for bugs said everything was good. And then sends a report to my landlord saying we didn't do everything that we could to get ready. We followed their list to get ready. So because they lied to my landlord and us, our landlord is refusing to spray the second time needed. I've lived with these bugs for about 6 months now. Poulins is useless. They just lie and take your money but do nothing to help you.
Our apartment started treatment for bedbugs at the end of December. It is now the middle of March, we are 7 or 8 treatments in and I still see activity from adult bugs. We do all the prep work the notice of entry for treatment requires and we do all the aftercare as well. I have had the PCO do a walkthrough with me a few times to verify the prep work and still come home to find broken and damaged belongings. Poulins also treats the apartment across the hall from me for bed bug infestation at the moment, however the treatment of our apartment and the one across the hall is separated by 4 days, so our apartments likely trade bugs, and Poulins gets to suck more work out of my apartment building. The amount of activity that is still around after the amount of treatments we have received leads me to believe staff negligence is to blame. If you are a landlord looking to use this company as a service, I would suggest you find another company if you expect to turn a profit from your rental unit. My apartment building spends over $300 per treatment per apartment and Poulins recommends every two weeks. My apartment building has turned a profit from me for less than 1/3rd of the current year. Food for thought.
Our Company switched from a very large company because they couldn't solve our problems, we also wanted to support local. We are so glad we did, they have been fantastic. Highly recommend.
Extremely knowledgeable staff. Will be recommending you to everyone!!!
Staff was great and was a quick and easy visit. Their website was helpful as well before my visit ????
A source of invaluable information As well as products.
Very helpful
Really bad service. We use their services for over 3 months and 1000$ and they didn't fix our infestation problem. We had to go with another company to see a light at the end of the tunnel. They only care about money.
Reasonable selection.
Very informative and helped me with what I needed to know.
Best place in Winnipeg for pest control. Friendly staff
Terrible service, upon re-entering my home there was broken glass all over my floor, as long as other belongings of mine being broken including a guitar which had been taken from its stand and left on the floor with a busted neck.Lap top had been tampered with. and a gaming headset with the ear-pieces busted off. Poulins refused to take responsibility claiming it wasn't their fault. If you want proper customer service this is not the place you will get it. They were disrespectful, immature and unprofessional.
Very good.
Our apartment had cockroaches, luckily my suite did not! It was a mess in my building but I think they are gone for good! (*update, over a week later and still no roaches!*) I had a few complications which would interrupt the scheduled service time and type, so I had called Kevin from Poulins on a number of occasions and he was so friendly, so knowledgeable and took the time to talk to me and answer my questions. It's hard to find good service nowadays but he really listened and explained and presented some alternatives that worked for us, very accommodating!
Super helpful, good advice and great products and value. We moved into a new house in December 2018 and discovered an ant infestation almost immediately. After trying baits from a home improvement store and seeing no results within a couple weeks, we paid a visit to Poulin's. The woman at Poulin's was easily able to ID our mystery ants from a clear photo of one with a millimeter ruler for scale. Our issue was carpenter ants and their presence indoors in the winter, complete with swarmers, meant the nest was inside. We were guided to a few different products and given pros and cons of each. We chose the slower method of a professional strength ant bait gel since we weren't positive of the exact nest location (making sprays and powders trickier). We looked up the product online and found it available elsewhere at a similar or higher price so we were happy with the value. The gel bait worked amazingly. The first two nights had dozens of ants going back and forth to the baits, taking lots of bait back to kill the nest. Over the next while we saw fewer and fewer ants until now, a week later, we haven't seen a live ant in over 24 hours. The instructions state to ensure bait is available for 14 days so we will be providing a bit more fresh bait to make sure. We were given additional advice to follow in the spring. We will be back to pick up the perimeter treatments to prevent the ants from returning. After all of our stress and worry over this ant issue it has been a real pleasure to sleep without the fear of ants. Thank you Poulin's!
Only place to go for pests
Excellent services, very professional.
Great advice, helped me get rid of my problem.
Knowledgeable staff and lots of products/services offered.
Too expensive... Too slow to respond to our need...
I called to see if they service outside of Winnipeg, which they do. They took my information and I was told I would get a call back from the person that looks after my area. It's been 6 days & I still haven't received a call back from Poulin's. I called another exterminator company & they looked after my problem within 24 hours of my call.
Amazing experience with this company
They resolved our issues after multiple visits. The duration was longer than expected and we had a different person each time we had to explain everything to each time that was a bit frustrating. A friend from another city recommended and his experience was good, ours was average to below expectations. Shoba or something similar (can't recall) came by last and we thought she was better than the previous ones. She looked for entry points outside to correct but the first two didn't and that was a surprise to her, not sure if that means the workers range in quality.
This is the go to spot for all your pesty problems. Thanks for helping me solve my mice problems.
Friendly staff, knowledgable and helpful
Not impressed with the results The treatment made the problem worse.
My employer operates several dozen group homes in Winnipeg and as the person charged with contracting services, I sleep very well knowing that Poulin's has us covered for routine inspections and full scale treatments. I highly recommend this company.
I called the phone number three times and never got an answer. Nobody there??? I have a squirrel in my house. What can I do??? I've gone to the shop of St. Mary's Road a few times. Will try stopping in tomorrow as I'm in yhe neighbourhood.
Helpful staff
These guys are superb. Service and respect is top notch
This company is very unprofessional. My apartment had severe cricket problem last year. (You cannot believe it - 128 crickets found in my apartment, on a second floor, within two months). The actual problem was the bugs were nesting in the crawl space. However, they did not bother to check the crawl space, and just came and sprayed my and my neighbors' apartments twice, which only cause serious allergy problem, but still not solve the problem. Until my neighbors and I strongly suggested them to check the crawl space, they finally investigated and sprayed the right area. This time, without a third spray to our apartments (only because I refused), my neighbors and I had a peace finally. I felt this company only cared to make money out of performing some work, but never mind to figure out the correct solutions. The longer the problem stays, the more money they would make. I do not trust to hire them for my own home for sure.
This is who u call or store u go to if u got bug or rodent issues
They know what needs to be done and have the products required for the job.
I called Poulin’s and they connected me to Darren of Combat Pest Control. Darren was awesome to work with. Clearly communicated with me on what his plan would be to deal with the squirrels that have been running a muck in my soffit and probably into my house. In less than three weeks..my problem is solved. I highly recommend this guy. So easy to deal with and he got the job done. When I told him that I wasn’t hearing any more squirrel activity, he closed up the entry points and removed all traps. Im so grateful for his work. Thanks Darren!!!
It was good .
A friend needed help taking some beds and other items to Poulin's to get his items treated for bed bugs. They have an onsite facility to treat large items. That is helpful if you ever need to get it done.
AWFUL experience. I rent an expensive condo in Osborne Village. My building had a bed bug infestation. As part of the response plan, the building management called Poulin's to treat the problem. The building management let them in without my presence, during which time, Poulin's turned my apartment upside down. They threw my mattress on the floor and stepped all over it, without bothering to put it back. My living room looked like a disaster. Books were removed from the shelves and thrown all over the floor, the covers damaged, pages torn out. Why was that necessary? When I called to complain, they said it's not their problem. They were so incredibly, unbelievably, mind-blowingly rude. These people are worse than bed bugs or any other pest. Do yourselves a favour and avoid this awful business.
They are so helpful live this place great staff
I purchased different products for pest control with varying degrees of success. Good product knowledge and fair prices.
Always helpful
Had exactly what we were looking for. Expert advice.
Few hiccups but we found Brian to be very helpful and we were happy with the services provided to address spiders, wasps, mosquitoes in September. Our outdoor wedding was pest free thanks to Poulins!
Informative and helpful. Good job Poulins...they helped me get rid of the wasps nest in my back yard.
Helpful but unable to provide solution to my problem.
Want to say they were fast and gave the right info that I needed to deal with mosquitos,as I'm not a professional with chemicals it's good to have people like that are willing to help with that ,thanks
Staff was excellent...sold me the proper products
We use Poulin's for our business and they are always polite and on time. Everything is thoroughly checked and they always leave a detailed report of what was done.
Really good service, Polite and got rid of the bugs. May have taken two tries but at least they're gone. (Reason being they were hiding in hard to see cracks in the wall, that they wouldn't have seen, if I only mentioned them the first attempt.) Would highly recommend! Thanks Poulins!
Professional, knowledgeable and pleasant to deal with.
VERY HELPFUL 4-ALL KINDS OF CRITTERS
I booked an appointment 2 weeks ago because they said it's busy season and I had to wait that long. ( that's fine) Was booked to show up between 1pm and 5pm on Tuesday. Called at 5pm for an update since there was a no show, the lady mentioned there was no booking and didn't apologize or anything. I said to her okay, not sure why there isn't I will book somewhere else. She said thanks for calling. Disorganized and poor service level.
Always easy to find what you need.
Great service at a competitive price Staff are friendly to deal with and they " get the job done ." A solution for every pest problem ! Treated me great
Helpful with any pest control problem.
I came in to their store and was helped right away by a knowledgeable employee. I was directed to use a certain product for the WASP problem that I had at home and it rectified the problem and I have no more issues with wasps within 24 hours of using the product
EDITED: After the below happened they sent by the same two individuals with a supervisor and did treat the area without incurring any additional charges. The original experience was negative but their response was helpful. ORIGINAL POST: They came by to treat insects in the facia (just above the gutters) and charged for the inspection because they weren't able to see any activity. After I paid the 100$ inspection fee I found out from a neighbor that their ladder wasn't even tall enough to see into the hole in the facia, which they conveniently failed to inform me when they charged me. Overall, they were misleading and unprofessional, I am disappointed in the service.
When I think of customer service, a prime example of what not to do can easily be found in interacting with the manager of this location. In addition to being vague and rude, Duncan is condescending and surprisingly doesn’t seem to care. It’s almost as if he knows he’s rude and feels justified in being so unhelpful. I wonder if working at Poulin’s is just hell or if he’s just a miserable person. I suppose it’s the chicken and egg thing. Did Poulin’s eat his soul or will he eat Poulin’s soul by scaring away clients. I like to hope his attitude is because I’m a tenant in a building that employs his company and that his actual paying customers don’t get such remarkably poor treatment. I can say for certain I will never chose to use Poulin’s and will look for service providers who don’t act like it’s an inconvenience telling me WHAT they may actually do inside my home.
They did two hard to access wasp nest 20' up behind brick, and at the peak of the roof. Very good job, the wasps never came back. Will definatally use them again should we have wasp issues again!
Very helpful and friendly
Helpful staff
I paid them to help me with my mice issues, but all they did was put traps and poison food. Their solution didn't help solve my mice issue, and they want to charge me again to do the same job.
I called, no answer. Left a message explaining that we had a wasp nest under our deck and a family member who is allergic being held hostage in the house. They never returned my call. Same results at three of the four pest control companies who advertised wasp control. So disappointing.
I got very good advice and equipment to trap annoying pests this summer.
Got expert advice a d reasonable prices
Exterminator failed to show up to our apartment, then lied to our landlord that he did and that we were not prepared properly for the extermination. Front desk said they will try to get in touch with the exterminator and call us back, never happened.
Awkward location but very helpful staff.
Friendly knowledgeable staff if you find an infestation bring a sample they can identify for you and recommend products.
Ridiculously expensive....250 ml of malathion for 27.99.....Canadian Tire 500 ml for 19.99
Had a wasp nest and within 10 minutes it was neutralized and removed. Very professional. Would definitely call them out again if needed.
Looking
Great place to find solutions to you r pest problems and a very knolegable staff
We received prompt service to remove a wasp nest under our porch. When we discovered that the wasps had entered our home and created a second part of their nest there, Dennis came back and removed it all for no additional charge. Thank you!
Tried to schedule an appointment and instead of being helpful, the customer service person just wanted to "make sure we were going to pay." So, after thinking about how rude that was, I canceled the appointment and went somewhere else.
good advice
Ineffective and overpriced. Was quoted one price, billed much higher than expected. Used this company for mice prevention and control. After paying over $1200 for 6 months "services", the problem is actually getting worse. No reporting, no prevention, they just keep rebaiting and charging more and more each time. Do not recommend.
Excellent customer service
They were very helpful and informative!
quick reliable service when your in a pinch they'll come out day off to get rid of bed bugs!
The staff members were friendly, helpful and answered all of my questions. The product suggested worked with one application.
Once again, Poulin's is our go to for products and information when it comes to pesky insects. I have never been disappointed...great company!
Appointment was not kept and no call to inform of the cancellation. Update: Finally got a call back and they rescheduled for next day. Will update after service Update: Poulin did exactly as they said now, showed up promptly and did what was asked.Will update in 2 weeks to see if problem has been solved. Very happy so far
I called the 24hr emergency line about a skunk issue at my house on Sunday March 9 2014 and the lady who answered advised me if I wanted someone out right away it would cost me $149 per hour OR I could go onto the next morning call back list for 9am. I chose the call back option for Monday morning and sure enough 9am came and went, no call. Noon hour came and went, still no call. Finally at 2pm, I had to be the one to call back and find out what was going on. I spoke to a girl named Lisa who told me that my request had been whited out as they couldn't read the information sent to the Winnipeg office so no one bothered to call me back. My advice to anyone is to STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY! They lack any accountability towards their employee's mistakes. Don't just take my word for it, read the other forums on this company and you will see that I am not the only one who is disgusted by their ways of business. Go with another company who will actually follow through with what they say they are going to do. No foolin with Poulins my ASS!! The only fool here is anyone who accepts this backwards mentality company's service.
Was looking for wasp dust and they sold me a product and it didn't work I think they want to sell me an extermination call
I wasn't to pleased with Poulin's. I explained that I wanted rodent problem under my front steps baited to take of it. They sent out a technition then when he arrived he informed me they didn't have the bait I requested and tried to sell me a trap instead then want 100 dollars for the service call very disappointed
Excellent service
I was not impressed with the two workers who came to my home they were sarcastic and both were unwilling to explain and when they did explain there was arrogance in their delivery I will never call this company also when my mother was explaining to one of the workers he stated huh! Pardon me if she speaks broken English however she was in the workforce here in Canada for 45 years and no one had a problem understanding her .!! I regret calling this useless company that overcharges !!!
Thank you for the advice on using cooking oil to remove hamster from sticky trap. He survived!
i buy the powdwer for bed bugs. my dad recommended it. i thought as if? a gentle powder got our infestation gone. so happy for my kids to sleep. 15 yrs later ifi switch to a different brand. the situation gets worse. please email me when your product is in stock
Great place for not only product but also good instructions and insights on how use
