SUMMER 2026 UPDATE
What's Active Right Now in Coquitlam & the Tri-Cities
Live pest activity report from our Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam & Port Moody technicians
Our technicians are on the ground across Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody every day. Here's what we're actively treating all summer and how to protect your property.
Wasp and hornet colonies grow rapidly all summer. Nests under eaves, soffits and decks across Burke Mountain, Westwood Plateau, Maillardville, Mary Hill and Heritage Woods expand from golf-ball sized in early summer to football sized by August, and the colonies grow more defensive as worker numbers climb past 500. Paper wasps, yellowjackets and bald-faced hornets are all common across the Tri-Cities. The earlier in the season a nest is removed, the simpler and safer the job. Wasp nest removal starts at $195.

Pavement ants, odorous house ants, spiders, earwigs and sowbugs are at full summer strength and trailing into kitchens, bathrooms and basements across the Tri-Cities. Summer is also the window for the second pass of our perimeter program: two commercial-grade products in two full laps that carry protection through the rest of the season. Already had your spring treatment, or not on a program yet? Either way it's a good time to lock in coverage. Perimeter treatment starts at $435.

Carpenter ants forage heavily and establish satellite nests in damp structural wood throughout the summer, especially in homes near the ravines, creeks and mature tree canopy around Mundy Park, the Coquitlam River, Hoy Creek and Scott Creek. Fine sawdust (frass) near baseboards and faint rustling in walls at night are the tell-tale signs. Treating the parent colony now stops the structural damage that builds through the warm months.

Rodents stay active and keep breeding through the summer, and juveniles from spring litters disperse to find territory of their own. That means steady pressure on homes near the Coquitlam River, the Mundy Park greenbelt and older buildings in Maillardville, Moody Centre and Austin Heights. Norway rats are especially common along the river corridors. Our rodent program starts at $450 (3 visits) and includes entry-point sealing to break the cycle before populations surge into fall.

Wildlife Removal in Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam & Port Moody
Squirrels, raccoons, and skunks frequently nest under decks, in attics, and around garages throughout the Tri-Cities. Our wildlife removal team responds fast to Port Moody, Coquitlam, and Port Coquitlam with humane trapping, exclusion barriers, and cleanup services.
Common wildlife calls we handle:
- Squirrel removal from attics and soffits
- Raccoon removal from decks and crawlspaces
- Skunk removal and odor control
- Bat exclusion and cleanup
We seal entry points after removal so animals cannot return. Same day wildlife removal available when you call before 8am.
Ant Control in Coquitlam
Carpenter ants and pavement ants become active across the Tri-Cities in late winter as temperatures rise. We locate the colony source, not just the trails you see inside, and apply treatments that eliminate the entire nest.
Our ant control process:
- Full inspection to identify species and entry points
- Targeted treatment at the nest, not just surface spraying
- Follow up visits to confirm elimination
Early treatment in February and March prevents larger infestations by summer. If you are seeing large black ants, sawdust piles near baseboards, or ant trails in your kitchen, call before the colony spreads.
Wasp Nest Removal in Coquitlam
Wasps build nests under eaves, inside soffits, behind siding, and in backyard sheds across the Tri-Cities. Paper wasps, yellow jackets, and bald faced hornets are all common in Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, and Port Moody from late spring through fall. Disturbing a nest without proper equipment puts your family at risk of multiple stings, especially dangerous for children and anyone with allergies. Our technicians locate and remove active nests the same day you call. We treat the entry point and surrounding area to prevent colonies from rebuilding in the same spot. If you’ve noticed wasps flying in and out of a gap in your roofline, deck, or garden structure, call 604-931-3330 for safe removal before the colony grows.
Bed Bug Treatment in Coquitlam
Bed bugs spread fast through apartments, condos, and hotels across the Tri-Cities. Look for small dark spots along mattress seams, unexplained bites after sleeping, or a sweet musty odour in the bedroom.
Our technicians inspect to confirm the source, then apply eco friendly treatments that are safe for your family and pets while eliminating every life stage from eggs to adults. A follow up visit confirms the problem is fully resolved.
If you suspect bed bugs in your Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, or Port Moody home, call 604-931-3330 before the problem spreads.

“The ants made their way into the basement and main floor of our house. The ants began to occupy our 4.5 year old daughter’s play area. I called Pest Detectives. They made themselves available to attend to our home within 2 hours of my call. John the technician was professional and took the time to hear where the problem areas from the year before. They treated the basement baseboards, the exterior perimeter of our residence and property line and other troubled areas. I’d use this company again and would highly recommend Pest Detectives to others.”
“Jamie was great. He was here quickly and did a live capture of the raccoon sleeping under the deck. It was quite the feat in a confined space. Deni, the dog, and my wife are happy it was removed so quick. Thanks again to Jamie at Pest Detective.”
