Pests we can help with
Every guide explains how to identify it, whether DIY is reasonable, typical Canadian costs and when to call a pro.
Mice
Canada's most common indoor pest, especially once nights get cold.
Get help →Rats
Bigger, bolder and more destructive than mice — treat quickly.
Get help →Ants
Trails in the kitchen usually mean a nest nearby, not a one-off.
Get help →Carpenter Ants
Large black ants that excavate wood — damage adds up quietly.
Get help →Cockroaches
German cockroaches multiply fast and almost always need a pro.
Get help →Bed Bugs
Never a DIY job — treatment needs heat or a full professional protocol.
Get help →Wasps
Nests near doors, decks and play areas should be removed, not poked.
Get help →Hornets
Bald-faced hornet nests are defensive and best left to a pro.
