Common Household Pests in Canada

Box Elder Bugs

If you have noticed silverfish or other pests in your house, you are not alone. These small, fast-moving insects are often found in bathrooms, basements, and attics where moisture levels are high. A silverfish bug in the house can feed on paper, fabrics, and glue, leading to gradual damage to books, wallpaper, and clothing. Similarly, overwintering pests like earwigs in your home can be difficult to control on your own. Earwigs tend to hide in dark, damp areas and can quickly become a nuisance.

Another common invader especially during the fall season is the boxelder bug. These insects gather in large numbers around windows and siding, especially during seasonal changes. Although they do not bite, their droppings can stain walls and surfaces. Whether you are getting rid of silverfish, earwigs, boxelder bugs or other pests in your home, professional assistance from your local Orkin Residential Pest Control Pro will ensure the problem is eliminated at its source.

Home Pest Control For New Homeowners

Purchased a new home? Before you (or pests) settle in, take a look at these quick pest tips.

Protect Your New Home from the Start With Orkin Canada’s Professional Home Pest Control Service

Buying a new home is one of life’s biggest milestones. It is also the perfect time to ensure your new space is free from unwanted pests. Many homeowners do not realize that pests such as ants, mice, and spiders often move in long before you do. Orkin Canada’s pest control for new homebuyers helps protect your investment by identifying and eliminating any hidden pest problems before they become serious infestations.

Why New Homes Need Pest Inspections

Even brand-new or recently renovated homes can have conditions that attract pests. Gaps around foundations, moisture in crawl spaces, or unsealed vents provide easy entry points. In older homes, previous owners may have left behind issues such as rodent nests, insect damage, or untreated termite activity.

Our certified Orkin residential pest exterminators conduct detailed pest inspections that include:

  • Checking basements, attics, and crawl spaces for pest entry points

  • Inspecting around doors, windows, and foundations

  • Looking for signs of silverfish in the house, earwigs in the house, and other house pests

  • Evaluating outdoor areas for rodent, bird, or wildlife activity

By catching early signs of trouble, Orkin Canada helps new homeowners start with a safe and pest-free environment. Contact us today to get started.

Frequently Asked Pest Control Questions

What does pest control do?

Pest control protects your health and property from pest damage. Orkin Canada assesses your pest problem, identifies the source and treats the pest problem using various methods backed by science to control it. You will also receive advice and information on the pest in question, so that you have the necessary tools and knowledge to prevent the problem from recurring.

How long does pest control last? 

There are a number of factors to consider when looking at the longevity of a program. Factors can include the type of pest/pests, extent of the pest problem and the solutions being used.

How do I prepare my house for pest control? 

Depending on the pest and solution being utilized, some pests such as bed bugs might require you to prepare, such as pulling furniture away from the wall, while others like mice would not require any preparation.  

What happens after an Orkin Canada technician manages my pest issue? 

Once the appropriate solution has been applied, your Orkin Canada technician will follow-up to ensure the problem is resolved completely and to your satisfaction.

How long do I need to stay out of the house after a pest control treatment?

This would depend on the option being used. If it involves options such as baiting, it is not required to stay out of the house. Spraying often requires that you stay away between 4 to 8 hours depending on label specifications or until the spray is dry.
