Pest Control in Ajax

Ajax runs from the historic core of Pickering Village through established detached subdivisions to fast-growing new communities in Nottingham, Audley and Carruthers Creek. The Lake Ontario waterfront and the Carruthers and Duffins creek valleys bring wildlife and rodents up against backyards.

Why Local Knowledge Matters

Pest behavior varies significantly depending on the environment. A rat infestation in a downtown restaurant requires a completely different strategy than raccoon removal in a suburban attic.

From Pickering Beach, Nottingham, Audley to the rest of Ajax, knowing the local housing stock and geography — older homes, ravine corridors, waterfront — lets us find entry points faster and keep pests from coming back.

Serving Ajax, answered

Straight answers to what Ajax homeowners ask us most.

New homes are going up around me in north Ajax — will that bring pests?

Often, yes. Clearing fields and ravine edges for subdivisions like Nottingham and Audley displaces mice and other wildlife, which move into nearby homes looking for shelter and food.

I'm near Pickering Beach by the lake — does that change my pest risk?

Lakeside and creek-valley properties sit close to natural cover, so raccoons, squirrels and skunks are more common, and damp foundations can draw ants and spiders. We inspect entry points specific to waterfront-area homes.

Can you just trap and move the squirrel in my attic?

Ontario rules say a trapped animal must be released within 1 km within 24 hours, with landowner permission — so relocating it elsewhere isn't legal or effective. We use humane one-way doors and seal the roof gaps so squirrels leave and stay out.

My older Pickering Village house has recurring ant trails — why?

Older homes with mature trees and settled foundations give ants easy access along cracks and utility lines. We trace the trail to the nest and seal the routes, rather than only spraying what's visible.
