Pest Control Burnaby BC
Licensed Exterminators for Metrotown, Brentwood, North Burnaby & Every Neighbourhood
Burnaby consistently ranks in Canada’s top 5 rattiest cities. It sits between Vancouver’s density and the mountains’ wildlife, which means pests push in from every direction. Rats run through Edmonds crawlspaces. Carpenter ants hollow out Deer Lake’s older homes. Bed bugs spread between Metrotown condo units before managers notice. If you’re dealing with pests in Burnaby, you don’t need a national hotline — you need a local team that runs this city daily.
We provide licensed pest control across every Burnaby neighbourhood. Same-day service. Written warranty. Transparent pricing. Our technicians hold current BC Pesticide Applicator Certificates and know Burnaby’s pest patterns building by building.
Why Burnaby’s Pest Problem Is Worse Than You Think
Burnaby’s geography creates a pest pressure cooker. Burnaby Mountain and Deer Lake Park push rats, raccoons, and squirrels into residential streets. The SkyTrain corridor gives rodents a highway from New Westminster through Metrotown to Brentwood. And the current condo construction boom displaces existing colonies into neighbouring properties every time a foundation gets dug.
Orkin Canada has ranked Burnaby in the top 5 rattiest cities nationwide for multiple consecutive years. That ranking tracks both residential and commercial rodent treatments — meaning this isn’t just a backyard problem. It’s in restaurants, strata buildings, and warehouses too.
Since BC’s 2021 restrictions on second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides, effective pest control in Burnaby demands professional exclusion, targeted trapping, and integrated pest management. Drop-poison-and-leave doesn’t work anymore — legally or practically. That’s exactly how we operate.
Burnaby Pest Pressures by Neighbourhood
Burnaby isn’t one uniform pest zone — every neighbourhood has its own pressure points. Here’s what we treat most in each area:
| Neighbourhood | Top Pest Pressures | Why It Happens Here |
|---|---|---|
| Metrotown | Bed bugs, cockroaches, rats | High-rise density, restaurant corridors, heavy foot traffic |
| Brentwood | Bed bugs, rats, ants | Condo boom, construction displacement, mixed-use buildings |
| North Burnaby / Capitol Hill | Rats, carpenter ants, wildlife | Proximity to Burnaby Mountain and park greenbelts |
| Edmonds | Rats, mice, cockroaches | Older housing stock, SkyTrain corridor activity |
| Deer Lake / Buckingham Heights | Carpenter ants, wildlife, wasps | Mature tree canopy, lakeside moisture, older homes |
| South Burnaby / Byrne Creek | Rats, mice, ants | Creek corridors, greenbelt edges, older subdivisions |
| Burnaby Heights / Willingdon | Rats, spiders, ants | Older character homes, dense gardens, proximity to port lands |
We service Burnaby on the same daily routes as Vancouver and New Westminster. Whether you’re near Kingsway or Hastings, our response time is typically same-day or next-day.
Our Pest Control Services in Burnaby
We handle every pest that thrives in Burnaby’s mix of green spaces, aging housing stock, and rapid condo development.
Rat & Mouse Control
Burnaby’s top pest complaint, year after year. Norway rats nest in crawlspaces, basements, and beneath concrete slabs. Roof rats climb through soffit vents and attic gaps. Our rodent program includes full property inspection, tamper-resistant stations with snap traps or bait, entry-point sealing (exclusion), and 3 monitoring visits over 3 months with a 180-day guarantee. We follow BC’s post-SGAR regulations — exclusion first, rodenticide only when necessary in locked stations.
A Brentwood condo owner called after finding droppings in the kitchen for two weeks straight. Our technician traced the entry to a gap around an HVAC penetration in the parkade. Sealed it, set traps on the affected floor, and cleared the problem in two visits. The strata manager then booked a building-wide inspection.
Carpenter Ant Treatment
Burnaby’s mature tree canopy and year-round moisture make it prime carpenter ant territory. We locate the colony — often in damp wood around window frames, decks, or roof edges — and inject treatment directly into the nest. Treatment runs $1,300–$1,500 for an average Burnaby home with a multi-year warranty. North Burnaby, Deer Lake, and Burnaby Heights see our heaviest carpenter ant demand every spring.
Bed Bug Extermination
Metrotown and Brentwood’s condo density means bed bugs spread between units through shared walls, hallways, and laundry rooms. We use professional-grade chemical and heat treatments across 2–3 visits over 4–6 weeks. For strata buildings, we inspect adjacent units to stop the cycle before it repeats.
Cockroach Elimination
German cockroaches thrive in Burnaby’s apartment kitchens and restaurant corridors along Kingsway and Hastings. Our targeted baiting programs work because the bait gets carried back to the colony — surface sprays just scatter them to neighbouring units. We place bait stations in kitchens, bathrooms, and utility areas, then monitor until the colony is eliminated.
Wasp & Hornet Removal
From June through September, wasps build nests under eaves, inside soffits, and beneath decks across Burnaby. We safely remove the nest, treat the area, and guarantee against rebuilding. Service runs $165–$250 depending on location.
Spider Control
Giant house spiders peak across Burnaby every fall. Our exterior perimeter treatment creates a barrier that lasts 60–90 days, keeping spiders and most crawling insects from entering your home through the season.
Wildlife Removal
Raccoons, squirrels, and skunks pushed out of Burnaby Mountain and Deer Lake Park regularly invade residential attics and crawlspaces. We trap humanely, remove safely, and seal every entry point with a 1–5 year warranty on exclusion work.
Commercial Pest Control in Burnaby
Burnaby’s Kingsway restaurant strip, Metrotown retail complex, and industrial zones along Still Creek need documented, audit-ready pest management. We provide monthly or bi-weekly IPM programs with digital service reports, compliance documentation, and dedicated account management. Whether you run a Hastings Street restaurant or manage a Brentwood strata complex, our commercial program keeps you covered.

Residential & Commercial — We Handle Both in Burnaby
For Burnaby homeowners: You call, we come out, we fix it. For recurring issues, our quarterly prevention program catches problems before they rebuild. Most Burnaby residential clients spend $400–$900 per year for year-round protection.
For Burnaby businesses: Restaurants, retail, offices, and food processors along Kingsway and Hastings need documented IPM programs. We provide scheduled visits, digital reports, and compliance documentation that holds up to any health inspection.
For Burnaby strata managers: Metrotown and Brentwood’s high-rise density means a single unit’s rat or bed bug problem travels through shared walls fast. Our multi-unit programs treat the building systematically — not floor by floor — cutting cost and callback rates.
Burnaby Pest Control — Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can you get to my Burnaby property?
Same-day service is available across Burnaby for most pest types. We service Burnaby on the same daily routes as Vancouver and New Westminster. Call before noon and a technician can often be at your door that afternoon.
Why does Burnaby rank so high for rats?
Three factors converge here: Burnaby Mountain and Deer Lake Park push wildlife and rodents into residential streets, the SkyTrain corridor gives rats a travel route across the city, and the ongoing condo construction boom displaces existing colonies into neighbouring buildings. Add BC’s 2021 SGAR restrictions, and professional exclusion and trapping are the only methods that actually work.
Are your technicians licensed for Burnaby?
Every technician holds a current BC Pesticide Applicator Certificate under the Integrated Pest Management Act. We carry WorkSafe BC coverage and $2M+ third-party liability insurance. Proof available on request before we step on your property.
Is your pest control safe for kids and pets?
Yes. We use products approved for residential use and follow re-entry protocols — typically four hours after an interior treatment. Rodent stations are locked and tamper-resistant. We walk you through all precautions before leaving.
Do you cover my Burnaby neighbourhood?
We cover every Burnaby neighbourhood: Metrotown, Brentwood, North Burnaby, Capitol Hill, Edmonds, Deer Lake, Buckingham Heights, South Burnaby, Burnaby Heights, Willingdon Heights, and Byrne Creek. If you’re within Burnaby city limits, we’re there.
