Pest Control in Pickering

Pickering mixes older lakeside neighbourhoods like Bay Ridges and West Shore with 1970s–90s subdivisions and large new developments in the Seaton area. The Frenchman's Bay shoreline and the Rouge and Duffins creek corridors put homes next to raccoon, squirrel and skunk habitat.

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 Bay Ridges, Amberlea, Rougemount to the rest of Pickering, 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 Pickering, answered

Straight answers to what Pickering homeowners ask us most.

Why are raccoons and skunks common in south Pickering?

Neighbourhoods around Frenchman's Bay and the creek corridors back onto wooded, watered green space, which is prime denning habitat. Raccoons get into attics and chimneys; skunks den under decks and sheds.

Will you relocate a raccoon I've caught far away from my Pickering home?

No — Ontario law requires captured wildlife to be released within 1 km of where it was caught, within 24 hours, and only with the landowner's permission. The real fix is a one-way exclusion door plus sealing entry points so it leaves on its own and can't return.

My older Bay Ridges or West Shore home keeps getting mice — why?

Older lakeside housing stock tends to have more gaps around foundations, vents and utility lines, and mice need only a dime-sized hole. We find and seal entry points rather than just baiting.

Do newer subdivisions in north Pickering have pest issues too?

Yes. New construction near former farmland and ravine edges, like the Seaton area, often displaces mice and other wildlife into fresh homes during and after building.
