Pest Control in Vancouver, BC

Rodent & Rat Control in Vancouver

Pest Detective provides rodent and rat control across Vancouver, BC. We handle Norway rats, house mice, and roof rats in residential homes, strata buildings, and commercial properties using our proven Detect → Treat → Prevent process.

Vancouver's mild, wet climate and dense urban landscape create some of the highest rodent pressure in British Columbia. Norway rats thrive along the Fraser River corridor, in older neighbourhoods like Strathcona and Mount Pleasant, and anywhere food waste is accessible. Mice push into homes and strata buildings year round, especially as temperatures drop from September through April.

We inspect your property to find every entry point and identify the species, set treatments to eliminate active populations, then seal gaps and provide prevention recommendations so they don't come back.

Bed Bug Exterminators in Vancouver

Pest Detective provides bed bug extermination across Vancouver, BC. We treat homes, apartments, strata buildings, and commercial properties with a thorough inspection and treatment process that eliminates infestations and confirms results with a follow up visit.

Vancouver's dense rental market, from downtown high rises to East Van apartment buildings, creates ideal conditions for bed bugs to spread between units. They travel through shared walls, electrical outlets, laundry rooms, and second hand furniture. Old buildings and new construction are equally at risk.

Our treatment covers all harbourage points including mattresses, box springs, bed frames, baseboards and furniture. We use products considered safe for pets and family once properly applied and dried.

Wasp & Hornet Control in Vancouver

Pest Detective provides wasp and hornet removal across Vancouver, BC. We remove active nests safely, treat the surrounding area to prevent rebuilding, and handle nests at any height including wall voids that require injection treatment. All removals include a follow up check.

Wasp season in Vancouver runs from May through September with peak nest activity in July and August. Yellowjackets, paper wasps, and bald faced hornets build nests under eaves, inside wall voids, in garden sheds, and in underground burrows across Vancouver properties. A colony that starts small in spring can house thousands of wasps by late summer.

Ant Exterminators in Vancouver

Pest Detective provides ant extermination in Vancouver for both carpenter ants and pavement ants. Carpenter ants nest inside damp or decaying wood, which is a frequent issue in older Vancouver homes with wood frame construction, leaking roofs, or moisture in bathroom walls. Pavement ants invade kitchens and ground floor units, especially from April through October.

Our technicians locate the colony, apply treatments to eliminate the nest, and identify the moisture or structural conditions that attracted them in the first place. For carpenter ants we also inspect for wood damage and recommend repairs. Left untreated, carpenter ants can cause structural damage to window frames, deck posts, and wall framing.

For ongoing prevention, our Perimeter Pest Control Program creates a chemical barrier around your home's exterior foundation. Two full laps per year with two commercial grade products using different active ingredients to prevent resistance. Full ant treatment details.

Cockroach Control in Vancouver

Pest Detective provides cockroach control across Vancouver, BC. German cockroaches are the primary species here and they thrive in multi unit residential buildings, restaurants, and commercial kitchens. They spread through shared plumbing, deliveries, and second hand appliances. They also reproduce fast. A small problem becomes a serious infestation within weeks if left untreated.

We target harbourage areas with gel baits and residual treatments in kitchens, bathrooms, utility rooms, and any area with heat and moisture. For strata and multi unit buildings we coordinate unit by unit treatment to prevent reinfestation from adjacent units. All products are approved safe options applied following strict provincial guidelines. Cockroach treatment details.
