PD Shield 365: Year-Round Exterior Pest Protection for Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam & Port Moody Homes
Here's a truth most pest companies won't tell you: the rats showing up in your attic in October moved in back in July. The carpenter ants you spotted in May have been rebuilding their colony since the last warm stretch. Pest problems are slow-moving cases and in the Tri-Cities, with our wet winters, treed lots, and creek-corridor wildlife, the case is always open.
That's the case PD Shield 365 was built to close.
What is PD Shield 365?
PD Shield 365 is Pest Detective's flagship year-round exterior protection program — designed, named, and inspired by Petey the Pest Detective himself. It's exterior rodent and insect protection with zero guesswork and full-year peace of mind, built specifically for residential Coquitlam pest control customers and homeowners across the broader Tri-Cities.
Where most pest calls are reactive — you spot a problem, you call us, we treat it — Shield 365 is the opposite. We follow our signature Detect → Treat → Prevent process on a year-round schedule, so the pests get caught at the perimeter before they ever make it inside your home. Less detective work for you. Less drama for everyone.
What's included in Shield 365
- Exterior bait stations installed and maintained — tamper-resistant, keyed, and serviced on every visit.
- Monthly rodent control visits — 12 visits a year, timed around the seasonal pressure windows (fall and winter being the big ones in the Tri-Cities).
- Twice-yearly perimeter insect treatments — our "Two Products. Two Laps. Two Visits. One Protected Home." program. Two commercial-grade products with different active ingredients, two full laps around your foundation, soil line, doors, windows, vents, and utility penetrations. Targets ants (including carpenter ant prevention), spiders, earwigs, pillbugs, sowbugs, millipedes, boxelder bugs, Asian lady beetles, cluster flies, and stink bugs.
- Professional monitoring and reporting — written notes after every visit so you actually know what's happening at your property.
- Year-round protection with no seasonal gaps — pests don't take winter off, and neither does Shield 365.

Who needs PD Shield 365?
Shield 365 is built for Tri-Cities homeowners who'd rather prevent than react. Specifically:
- Coquitlam homeowners on treed lots — Burke Mountain, Westwood Plateau, Eagle Ridge, and the older Maillardville and Mundy Park neighbourhoods all sit in prime carpenter ant and rodent territory thanks to mature trees, bark mulch, and proximity to greenbelts.
- Port Coquitlam families near greenbelts and waterways — homes near the Coquitlam River, Hyde Creek, and the Lower Mary Hill area see consistent seasonal rodent movement that's far easier to manage on a schedule than after the fact. Learn more on our Port Coquitlam pest control page.
- Port Moody homeowners backing onto forest — Heritage Mountain, Heritage Woods, and the Inlet-side neighbourhoods deal with ongoing perimeter pressure from carpenter ants, spiders, and the occasional wildlife visitor. See our Port Moody pest control page for area-specific information.
- Older homes — wood trim, cedar siding, crawl-space construction. Exactly the housing that carpenter ants, rodents, and overwintering pests prefer.
- Anyone who's been hit before — if you've had a rodent or ant problem in the past three years, the conditions that produced it haven't gone away.
Shield 365 isn't right for everyone. If you've never had a pest issue, live in a sealed newer condo or townhouse, and aren't on a treed lot, an annual check-in is probably enough. We'll tell you that during your free quote — honest advice is part of the job.
The Tri-Cities booking advantage: skip the wait line
Here's a small piece of honesty most pest companies won't put in writing: right now our Tri-Cities team is booking 1–2 weeks out for new service calls. That's what 40 years and 250+ five-star reviews from Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, and Port Moody homeowners will do — the locals know who to call.
The good news? Once you're on PD Shield 365, the wait disappears. Your visits are already scheduled, your spot in the rotation is reserved, and you have direct access to our highly booked, experienced local team without lining up behind everyone who waited until they had a real problem on their hands. It's the closest thing in pest control to a fast-pass — and it's the single biggest reason our Shield 365 customers stay on for years.
Why year-round protection works in the Tri-Cities specifically
Most pest companies sell the same protection plan from Vancouver to the Fraser Valley. Pest Detective has been serving Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, and Port Moody for over 40 years, and Shield 365 is structured around what we actually see on the calls we run here:
- Carpenter ant swarms in May and June, especially on properties with mature cedars and bark mulch beds
- Wasp and stinging-insect activity from late spring through August (note: wasp nests are handled as a separate one-time service — Shield 365 covers crawling perimeter pests)
- The big fall rodent push from late September through November as temperatures drop and rats and mice move from greenbelts and creek corridors into garages, attics, and crawl spaces
- Winter interior activity, when rodents that got in during the fall start showing up in living spaces
- Overwintering pests like boxelder bugs and cluster flies pushing in through siding gaps
One annual visit can't cover any of that. Shield 365 can — and the monthly rodent cadence plus twice-yearly perimeter insect treatments mean we're catching pressure at the right time of year, every year.
