🐀 Rodents

Rat & Mouse Control in Surrey

Surrey is one of the most active areas for rodent control in the Lower Mainland. Norway rats travel the Fraser River corridor into Newton and Panorama Ridge through storm drains and foundation gaps, while roof rats are more common in South Surrey and White Rock where mature trees reach attics and rooflines. Older homes in Whalley, agricultural edges in Cloverdale, and dense townhomes in Fleetwood all create ideal conditions for rats and mice.

Whether you need a rat exterminator in Surrey, mice removal in Surrey, or full rodent control, our team handles it all — from a single sighting to an established infestation.

🔧 Exclusion

Rodent Proofing & Exclusion in Surrey

Killing rodents without sealing entry points means they come back. Our exclusion service finds every gap, crack and opening rodents use and seals them permanently with steel mesh, concrete patch, metal flashing and weather-resistant caulking. Common Surrey entry points include dryer vents, plumbing penetrations, garage-door seals, and gaps where utility lines meet the foundation.

🐜 Ants

Ant Control in Surrey

Pavement ants are the most common ant complaint in newer Fleetwood and Clayton townhomes, trailing along foundations and into kitchens through the smallest cracks. Older homes in Whalley and Guildford with moisture-damaged wood are more vulnerable to carpenter ants, which nest in structural wood and can cause damage if left untreated.

The most effective way to stop ants before they get inside is our perimeter pest control program: two products applied in two full laps around your foundation, then a second visit to keep the barrier active through peak ant season. It also protects against spiders, earwigs, sowbugs and other crawling insects that use the same gaps.

🐜 Structural pest

Carpenter Ant Control in Surrey

Carpenter ants are the most damaging ant Surrey homeowners face. They tunnel galleries into wood to nest — a colony that starts in an outdoor stump or woodpile readily expands into damp framing, sills and trim. They're especially common in the older homes of Whalley and Guildford, along the forested edges of Green Timbers Urban Forest and Bear Creek Park, and on the treed acreages of Cloverdale and South Surrey.

Signs include large black ants (6–13 mm) trailing indoors at night, fine sawdust-like frass under baseboards, a faint rustling in walls, and — the clearest sign — winged swarmers appearing indoors, which almost always means the nest is inside.

🐝 Stinging pests

Wasp Control & Nest Removal in Surrey

For fast, professional wasp control in Surrey, Pest Detective treats and removes yellowjacket, paper wasp and bald-faced hornet nests from under eaves, inside soffits, behind siding, in garden sheds and in ground burrows across the city. Wasp activity peaks from June through September, when colonies reach full size and turn aggressive defending the nest, the single most common summer call we get in Newton, Cloverdale, Fleetwood and South Surrey.

Our licensed technicians handle every kind of job: wasp nest removal in Surrey, hornet nest removal, and yellowjacket ground nests. We locate the nest, treat it directly, and remove it so the colony cannot rebuild. Whether you need a wasp exterminator in Surrey for a nest under the roofline or fast wasp removal in Surrey before a backyard event, we handle it before the colony grows large enough to be dangerous.

🪳 Cockroaches

Cockroach Control in Surrey

Cockroaches spread fast through Surrey's high-density condos, townhomes and multi-unit rentals — German cockroaches in particular move between units through shared walls, plumbing and electrical chases. They're most common across City Centre, Whalley and Guildford, where apartment and commercial density is highest. Once they're established, store-bought sprays usually scatter the population instead of eliminating it.

Our cockroach exterminator service in Surrey starts with an inspection to confirm the species and locate harbourage, followed by targeted gel baiting and treatment of cracks, voids and travel paths. For multi-unit buildings we coordinate adjacent-unit treatment so the infestation can't simply relocate next door.

🛏️ Bed bugs

Bed Bug Treatment in Surrey

Bed bugs spread fast through Surrey's growing number of multi-unit buildings, condos and rental properties — a single unit can become a full-floor infestation within weeks. If you're waking up with unexplained bites or noticing small dark spots along mattress seams, book an inspection before it spreads.

We treat with Apprehend, a biopesticide that uses a natural fungus to eliminate bed bugs. Applied as a barrier along travel paths, it infects bugs that cross it and spreads through the colony. It's non-toxic to people and pets because the fungus specifically targets insects.

Follow-up treatment available at half price within 90 days.

🦝 Wildlife

Wildlife & Raccoon Removal in Surrey

Raccoons, skunks and squirrels are a regular problem where Surrey's neighbourhoods meet greenbelts, ravines and farmland — Green Timbers, Bear Creek, Cloverdale and South Surrey especially. Raccoons den in attics and under decks, skunks shelter beneath sheds and porches, and squirrels chew their way into attics and rooflines, often near mature trees in White Rock and Ocean Park.

We provide humane raccoon removal in Surrey, skunk removal and squirrel removal — locating the animal, trapping and removing it, then sealing the entry point so it can't return. Acting early limits the mess, odour and structural damage these animals cause.
