If pests return inside the 60-day guarantee, we don't just respray — we redesign the plan. No annual contracts. No auto-renewal. No cancellation fees. Pay per visit, or use our quarterly subscription with month-to-month flexibility.
What makes pest activity in Burnaby unique
Burnaby's pest activity tracks its unusual geography. Central Park, Burnaby Lake, Deer Lake, and the Central Valley Greenway form an almost continuous corridor of forested green space stitched through the city. North Burnaby's older neighbourhoods (Burnaby Heights, Willingdon Heights) carry pre-1970 wood-frame stock with the carpenter ant and roof rat activity you'd expect. South Burnaby's Metrotown core is a dense concrete high-rise zone with completely different pest dynamics: bed bugs, cockroaches, and pigeon roosting on parking garages and commercial towers.
Climate is effectively identical to Vancouver — mild wet winters, warm dry summers, frost line rarely an issue — so the pest calendar does not reset. Burnaby's zoning also features heavy light-industrial and big-box commercial along Lougheed and Still Creek, which creates significant commercial IPM demand. The Still Creek corridor specifically is a well-documented rat activity zone due to the creek bed itself and the adjacent warehouse stock. Burnaby Bylaw §6548 echoes Vancouver's owner-responsibility framework for rodent control, and SFU's Burnaby Mountain campus sits at the edge of a working forest with rodent and insect activity spilling into Forest Grove and Westridge.
The pests we see most often here.
The Still Creek corridor, Burnaby Lake, and pre-1970 housing stock in the Heights all drive rat and mouse activity year-round. Most Burnaby rodent infestations enter through identifiable gaps at soffits, roof returns, and crawlspace vents — full audit and sealing outperform bait-only approaches every time.
Older Burnaby Heights and Deer Lake homes with cedar siding, deck ledgers, and chronic gutter issues are textbook Camponotus modoc habitat. Our treatment always pairs with a moisture audit because carpenter ants follow water — fixing the leak is half the permanent solution.
Metrotown, Brentwood, and Lougheed high-rise concrete stock carries ongoing Cimex lectularius activity. Our single-visit thermal eradication protocol kills every life stage in one session — the method of choice for strata councils avoiding multi-week chemical disruption.
Central Valley Greenway and Deer Lake mature-tree lots generate significant yellowjacket, paper wasp, and bald-faced hornet activity. Same-day removal with direct entry-point treatment; exterior preventive application; season guarantee standard.
Metrotown and Brentwood concrete high-rise and older multi-family stock carry elevated German cockroach activity. Multi-visit gel-bait and IGR protocol, most infestations resolved in 2–3 visits with 60-day guarantee.
Burnaby homes with older wood-frame construction, mature gardens, or greenway adjacency benefit disproportionately from quarterly service. Four seasonal visits catch spring ants, summer wasps, fall rodent entries, and winter interior activity before any escalates.
