Why White Rock pest activity is coastal
White Rock is a small coastal municipality (the city itself is just 5 km², with a population of ~22k) tucked into the southwest corner of Metro Vancouver. The pest profile reflects three things: the coastal climate (mild + humid, year-round insect activity), the bluff geography (premium homes on the slopes above the seawall), and the older housing stock (much of White Rock was built between 1940 and 1980).
From the seawall corridor through Marine Drive to the bluff residential areas, the dominant pests are: Norway rats (waterfront access + restaurant + commercial back-of-house along Marine Drive); stink bugs and cluster flies (overwintering on the warm west-facing walls of the bluff homes every October-November); raccoons (bluff homes adjacent to greenbelt have routine attic + crawlspace work); and carpenter ants in the older single-family stock with cedar shake roofs.
The newer condo developments along the upland Johnston Heights + Five Corners corridors have a different profile — pavement ants in townhouse complexes, occasional bedbug callouts in rental stock, and the standard wasp + paper wasp activity July-October.

Our White Rock pest control method
Find the source. Seal the entry. Then treat. The White Rock accent: extra attention to siding-foundation seam + window-frame penetrations on west-facing bluff homes (where stink bugs + cluster flies aggregate).
Find the source
25-point inspection. For bluff homes, full west-facing siding + soffit assessment. For waterfront-adjacent rodent work, sub-grade utility-penetration assessment.
Seal the entry
Steel wool + foam at rodent gaps, copper mesh at vents. For stink bug + cluster fly work, sealing siding + window-frame penetrations is the priority.
Then treat
Lowest-toxicity option matched to the diagnosis. Snap-trap-led for rodent work given waterfront wildlife adjacency.
