SERVING SCARBOROUGH & SURROUNDING AREAS

Pest Control in Scarborough

Scarborough ranges from 1950s–60s bungalows in Birch Cliff and Cliffside near the Bluffs to established subdivisions in Agincourt and Guildwood and newer townhomes in Malvern. The Bluffs shoreline and the Rouge, Highland Creek and Morningside ravines give raccoons and squirrels continuous routes into neighbourhoods.

URGENT CALLS

Need someone in Scarborough today?

Our technicians dispatch from East York, so same-day is a realistic outcome in Scarborough most weeks, and the emergency line is answered around the clock when a situation cannot wait for a booking. What we will not do is promise you a window we cannot make — call and you get the real timeline for your address.

Call any hour

A person answers, day or night. Tell us the pest, where it is in the property, and whether anyone has been bitten, scratched, or stung.

We tell you straight

Wasp nest at a door, wildlife loose indoors, a skunk sprayed inside, a possible rabies exposure — those move to the front. If it can safely wait for morning, we say so instead of billing you for the drive.

Firm price before work

A licensed technician inspects, identifies the entry points, and gives you the number before anything starts. Starting at $395 — the scope decides the rest.

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 Agincourt, Guildwood, West Hill to the rest of Scarborough, knowing the local housing stock and geography — older homes, ravine corridors, waterfront — lets us find entry points faster and keep pests from coming back.

  • Local crews covering Scarborough
  • Technicians familiar with local bylaws
  • Solutions tailored to 1950s–60s bungalows homes

Serving Scarborough, answered

Straight answers to what Scarborough homeowners ask us most.

Why are raccoons and squirrels such a problem in Scarborough?
The Rouge Valley, Highland Creek and the Bluffs give wildlife continuous green corridors right into neighbourhoods, so raccoons and squirrels frequently den in attics, chimneys and under decks across the district.
My older Birch Cliff or Cliffside bungalow keeps getting mice — why?
1950s–60s bungalows near the Bluffs often have settled foundations, old vents and gaps around services that mice exploit. We seal entry points rather than rely on bait alone.
Are bed bugs common in Scarborough's apartments?
Bed bugs occur anywhere people live and travel, including Scarborough's denser apartment and townhouse areas. They spread between units, so treatment — including heat treatment — works best when entry routes and adjoining units are addressed.
Can you just trap the raccoon and let it go in the Rouge?
No — Ontario law requires release within 1 km of where it was caught, within 24 hours, with the landowner's permission, so releasing into the Rouge isn't allowed. The lasting fix is a humane one-way door and sealing the roof and soffit gaps so it leaves and can't return.
