Surrey is one of the fastest growing cities in British Columbia, and with that growth comes a pest problem that does not take a season off. From the dense, established neighbourhoods of Whalley and Newton to the brand new developments climbing through Clayton Heights and Grandview Heights, every corner of Surrey deals with rodents, ants, wasps, and crawling pests at some point during the year. Most homeowners only call an exterminator after the problem has already started. PD Shield 365 was built to change that.
What Makes Surrey Different from Other Cities
Surrey covers more than 316 square kilometres of land bordered by the Fraser River to the north, agricultural reserves in Cloverdale and South Surrey, and urban forest corridors like Green Timbers and Bear Creek Park running through the middle. That combination of water, farmland, green space, and rapid residential construction creates year round pest pressure that few other Lower Mainland cities can match.
Rats and mice thrive along the Serpentine and Nicomekl river floodplains. Carpenter ants and pavement ants exploit the mix of mature trees and aging homes in Guildford and Newton. Wasps build nests in eaves and soffits across South Surrey and Cloverdale every spring. And because Surrey’s climate stays mild and wet through the winter, rodent populations never fully retreat the way they do in colder regions. They simply move from outdoor harbourage into wall voids, crawlspaces, and attics.
This is why one off treatments fall short. A single rodent control visit in October does not protect your home in February when a new family of Norway rats finds the same gap in the foundation. A perimeter spray in May does not stop the pavement ants that show up in August after a stretch of dry weather. Surrey homes need continuous coverage, and that is exactly what PD Shield 365 delivers.
How PD Shield 365 Works
PD Shield 365 is Pest Detective’s year round residential pest control program designed for homes that want protection without gaps. The program includes three core components that work together across all four seasons.
Monthly Rodent Monitoring — 12 Visits Per Year
Every month, a Pest Detective technician visits your property to inspect and maintain professional exterior bait stations. These stations are placed along active rodent pathways based on a thorough initial assessment of your property. Monthly visits mean problems are caught early, before a single mouse in the garage becomes a colony in the walls.
Surrey neighbourhoods with the highest rodent pressure include properties near the Fraser River in Bridgeview and Whalley, homes backing onto agricultural land in Cloverdale, and newer communities in Clayton Heights and Fleetwood where construction has displaced rodent populations from surrounding fields. Monthly monitoring is not optional in these areas. It is essential.
Two Full Perimeter Treatments Per Year
Twice a year, our team performs a complete foundation lap around your home targeting pavement ants, carpenter ants, wasps, spiders, earwigs, sow bugs, and other crawling pests. We use two commercial grade products with two different active ingredients specifically to prevent resistance. This is a detail most pest control providers in Surrey skip, and it makes a measurable difference in long term results.
The two treatments are timed to coincide with the spring emergence of ants and wasps and the late summer surge that hits before fall, giving your home maximum protection during the months when crawling pest pressure peaks.
100 Percent Exterior Service
Every PD Shield 365 visit is performed entirely outside your home. There is no need to book time off work, no need to clear out cupboards, and no interior disruption of any kind. Our technicians service your property whether you are home or not. For busy Surrey families juggling work, school, and everything in between, this is one of the most appreciated features of the program.
Why Surrey Homeowners Are Switching to Year Round Coverage
The traditional approach to pest control is reactive. You see droppings, you call an exterminator. You find an ant trail in the kitchen, you book a spray. The problem with this approach is that by the time you notice the signs, the infestation is already established, the damage has already started, and the cost to resolve it is higher than prevention would have been.
PD Shield 365 flips that model. Instead of reacting, your home is actively monitored and treated on a schedule designed around Surrey’s specific pest calendar. Rodent stations are checked before populations have a chance to establish. Perimeter treatments go down before ants and wasps move in. The result is fewer emergency calls, less damage, and a home that stays pest free twelve months a year.
Our team has been providing pest control in Surrey for over 40 years. We know which neighbourhoods see the worst rodent pressure, which building styles are most vulnerable to carpenter ants, and which seasons bring the biggest spikes. That local experience is built into every PD Shield 365 program we design.
PD Shield 365 Pricing for Surrey Homes
Programs start at $129.99 per month after a one time startup visit of $299.99. Pay in full for the year and we cover the GST.
That price includes all 12 monthly rodent monitoring visits and both perimeter treatments. There are no hidden fees, no surprise charges, and no contracts that lock you in without delivering results.

Not Ready for Year Round Coverage? Book What You Need
We understand that not every homeowner is ready for a full year round program. That is why Pest Detective also offers our core services as standalone programs you can book individually.
Rodent Control Program — Starting at $425 + GST
Our rodent control program includes three professional visits covering inspection, strategic trapping and baiting, and follow up monitoring to confirm elimination. This program covers both rats and mice and is designed around Pest Detective’s Detect, Treat, Prevent process. If you are seeing signs of a rat or mouse infestation in your Surrey home, this is the program to start with.
For homes with both interior and exterior activity, the combined program starts at $550 + GST. We also offer a poison free four visit rodent control option at $550 + GST, which is ideal for families with pets and young children.
Perimeter Pest Treatment — Starting at $435
Our perimeter pest treatment covers ants, wasps, spiders, earwigs, sow bugs, and crawling pests with two visits and two commercial grade products. This is the same treatment included in PD Shield 365, available as a standalone service for homeowners who want seasonal protection without monthly rodent monitoring.
The Pest Detective Difference in Surrey
Pest Detective has served the Lower Mainland since 1986. We are 100 percent Canadian owned, and our Surrey team lives and works in the communities we protect. When you call us, you are not getting a call centre. You are getting a local technician who knows the difference between a Newton rat problem and a Cloverdale field mouse issue, and who brings 40 years of company experience to every visit.
Our process is simple. We Detect the problem with a thorough inspection. We Treat it with targeted, professional grade solutions. And we Prevent it from coming back with exclusion recommendations and ongoing monitoring. PD Shield 365 is that process running continuously, all year, with nothing left to chance.
Which Surrey Neighbourhoods Benefit Most from PD Shield 365
Every neighbourhood in Surrey can benefit from year round coverage, but certain areas see consistently higher pest pressure.
Whalley and Bridgeview sit closest to the Fraser River, where Norway rats follow drainage corridors into residential streets. Monthly monitoring is critical here.
Newton has some of the highest density housing in Surrey, which means shared walls, shared garbage areas, and shared pest problems. Year round perimeter treatments keep ants and crawling pests from cycling between units.
Guildford is full of mature trees and established homes from the 1970s and 1980s. Carpenter ants love this combination, and pavement ants exploit aging foundation seals.
Fleetwood and Clayton Heights are experiencing massive new construction. Building activity displaces rodent populations from surrounding fields directly into finished homes. We are seeing more first year infestations in new builds here than anywhere else in Surrey.
South Surrey and Grandview Heights border agricultural land and the Serpentine Fen, creating a permanent wildlife corridor that funnels rodents toward residential properties year round.
Cloverdale combines hobby farms, acreages, and suburban homes with stored feed, compost, and outbuildings that attract rats and mice even in the warmer months.
