Same-day pest control across Steveston, 7 days a week 7am–9pm. We give you a realistic appointment window on the booking call rather than a best-case promise. The Village and Imperial Landing typically earlier in the same-day window; deep Seafair later in the day during peak demand.

The Wild Pest technicians dispatch from our Sunshine Hills (North Delta) base daily. Covering every corner of Steveston, BC and all of Metro Vancouver.
Most pest control in Steveston is spray-and-leave. We work differently.
Find the source. Seal the entry. Then treat. Within 30 minutes of the technician leaving your Steveston property, you receive a photo report — every entry sealed, every harbourage treated, every product used, named and quantified.
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 Steveston unique
Steveston is the southwest corner of Lulu Island — a historic fishing village that became a residential community while keeping its working waterfront. Garry Point Park, the Britannia Shipyards, Imperial Landing, and the Fraser River South Arm all meet here, and that interface creates pest activity you do not see anywhere else in Delta + Surrey. Commercial fishing and food-processing activity along the waterfront concentrates gulls, pigeons, and starlings; the Fraser River and adjacent drainage sloughs carry Rattus norvegicus at extremely high density; and the Steveston village housing stock — much of it pre-1970 wood-frame cottages and Craftsman conversions — shows its age.
The historic residential stock through Steveston Village, Woodwards, and Steveston North concentrates carpenter ant activity because older wood-frame homes here have absorbed decades of delta moisture. Newer Seafair and South Arm detached stock has less structural pest activity but the waterfront-adjacent rodent activity remains. Bird roosting on waterfront commercial and fishing-fleet infrastructure is a persistent issue requiring federal-compliant exclusion. Richmond Bylaw §5662 applies here as it does citywide.
The pests we see most often here.
The Fraser River South Arm, drainage sloughs, and waterfront commercial activity keep Rattus norvegicus density extremely high in Steveston. Older wood-frame village stock amplifies the problem — gaps at utility penetrations and crawlspace vents are abundant. Full audit, entry-point mapping, and permanent sealing are the right response.
Camponotus modoc finds ideal habitat in Steveston Village pre-1970 wood-frame cottages with original siding, single-pane windows, and decades of absorbed delta moisture. Our protocol treats the colony and audits the moisture source; without fixing the water, ants return within a year.
Seafair and Steveston North mature-tree blocks see significant yellowjacket, paper wasp, and bald-faced hornet activity. Same-day removal with direct entry-point treatment and exterior preventive application. Season guarantee standard.
Steveston homes with waterfront adjacency and older wood-frame construction benefit disproportionately from quarterly service. Four seasonal visits catch spring ants, summer wasps, fall rodent entries, and winter interior activity before any escalates into a full infestation.
