LATE SUMMER / EARLY FALL 2026 UPDATE
What's Active Right Now in Coquitlam & the Tri-Cities
Live pest activity report from our Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam & Port Moody technicians
Late summer keeps wasps and hornets at their peak across Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody, while cooler nights start pushing rodents, wildlife and spiders indoors for fall. Here's what our Tri-Cities technicians are treating most right now, and how to get ahead of it.
Wasp and hornet colonies are at their largest and most defensive in late summer, before they die off with the first hard cold of fall. Nests under eaves, soffits and decks across Burke Mountain, Westwood Plateau, Maillardville and Heritage Woods are a real stinging risk right now. Paper wasps, yellowjackets and bald-faced hornets are all common across the Tri-Cities. Wasp nest removal starts at $195.

As nights cool, rats and mice start moving off the Coquitlam River and Mundy Park greenbelt, and along the Pitt River and DeBoville Slough in Port Coquitlam, into warm homes in Burke Mountain, Westwood Plateau, Riverwood and Mary Hill. Norway rats dominate the river corridors; house mice slip through dime-sized gaps. Our rat and mice control program starts at $450 (3 visits) with inspection, trapping and entry-point sealing. Getting ahead of it now beats chasing an infestation once the fall surge hits.

As fall approaches, wildlife starts hunting for a warm place to overwinter. Port Moody's forested, inlet-side setting, near Bert Flinn Park, Heritage Woods and Burrard Inlet, puts homes right in their path, with raccoons moving into attics, squirrels into soffits and skunks under decks and porches across the Tri-Cities. Our wildlife removal team uses humane trapping, exclusion barriers and cleanup to get them out and keep them out before winter.

As the nights cool, spiders and lingering ants move inside across Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody, showing up in basements, garages and window corners as they seek shelter and mates. The late-season pass of our perimeter program, two commercial-grade products in two full laps, creates a barrier around the foundation, windows and doors that carries protection through the season. Perimeter treatment starts at $435.

Carpenter ant colonies stay active in damp structural wood into the fall, especially in homes near Mundy Park, the Coquitlam River, Hoy Creek and Scott Creek. Fine sawdust (frass) near baseboards or faint rustling in walls means a colony is inside. Treating the parent colony now stops the structural damage that builds over winter.

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

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.
