Pest Control Vancouver

Common Pests in Vancouver

Pests come in every shape and size here in Vancouver. For homeowners the Carpenter ant can be one of the most destructive pests to face, as they can potentially causing extensive damage to wooden structures. Vancouver’s proximity to dense forests also presents homeowners with the threat of wildlife pests like skunks or racoons, which can set up home in structures and require expert help to be removed properly.

Business owners in Vancouver face a different type of pest threat. Workers in food service businesses must stay on the lookout for cockroaches. Both the large American roach and the tiny German roach can easily be delivered in shipments. Elsewhere hospitality workers must inspect regularly for bedbugs as these pests can come in with the luggage of travellers who visit the city.

Termites in Vancouver

The subterranean termite, specifically the Western subterranean termite, is known to cause damage to residential and commercial properties in the Vancouver area. They are mostly drawn to dirt, wood, and moisture; all conditions allowing termites to build colonies and expand their foraging territories.

Signs of an infestation include wet or dried mud tunnels, which can be found in basements or moisture-rich areas above ground on your property. You may also notice damage to framing, decks, wood fences, gardening wood or firewood. Another indication of an infestation is that swarming subterranean termites discard their wings in piles when taking flight.
