Many homeowners and businesses across Ottawa have relied on our local technicians for pest protection over the years. Read their reviews and see what they have to say.
Our Ottawa team supports homes and businesses alike, with tailored treatments backed by years of local experience. Here's what sets our service apart.
We build treatment plans around what actually works for Ottawa's freeze-thaw winters and humid summers, targeting the root cause of an infestation instead of just what you can see on the surface.
Our technicians work throughout the region, from downtown blocks to Kanata and Orléans, and understand how local weather patterns and building styles shape the pest pressures your property faces.
Every property gets an assessment before we plan treatment. Century homes near the core need a different approach than newer suburban builds, so we adjust our methods to fit your home.
Homeowners and businesses across Ottawa have relied on our technicians for years. We follow up when we say we will, and we report back clearly on what we find and what we've done.
From condos near the canal to storefronts downtown, we provide pest control for homes and businesses across Ottawa. Our technicians build tailored plans using an integrated approach, backed by years of hands-on local experience.
Ottawa homes deal with a lot: humid summers that draw insects indoors, and cold winters that push rodents toward any warm gap they can find. Left alone, pests can damage wood and wiring, trigger allergies, and turn a quiet evening into a stressful one. Our technicians get to know your property and routine, so treatment fits around your household.
For lasting cover, our residential pest plan, PestFree365, gives your home year-round protection against more than 36 common pests,¹ with scheduled visits and extra touch-ups between them at no extra charge if pests return.²
We provide tailored solutions for common household pests, including:
A single pest sighting can cost a restaurant its reputation, a hotel a booking, or a healthcare facility its compliance standing. Ottawa's older commercial buildings and busy foot traffic create steady pressure, which is why regulatory compliance and customer confidence depend on consistent, documented pest management.
We support restaurants, hospitality, and healthcare facilities with an integrated pest management approach, discreet treatments that don't disrupt operations, and audit-ready reporting. Digital monitoring, with PestConnect, gives you ongoing visibility, so small issues get handled before they threaten your business or your customers' trust.
Providing trusted pest control services to:
Ottawa's seasons swing hard, from icy winters to sticky summers, and that shift shapes which pests show up and when. Our technicians track those patterns year-round.
Ottawa’s humid summers and moisture-damaged wood create ideal carpenter ant nesting conditions, while other ants species can thrive, too. We inspect trails and entry points first, then build a treatment plan tailored to your property.
Warm, humid weather through July and August encourages wasps to build nests around eaves, sheds, and yards. We treat nesting areas and follow up to check for renewed activity.
Nearby wetlands, river valleys, and standing water give mosquitoes plenty of breeding habitat during Ottawa’s humid months. We target breeding sites and resting areas to reduce backyard activity.
Carpenter ants tend to become active in spring as the weather warms. They target wood softened by moisture, so look for small piles of frass near window sills or porches. This is different from termite damage, and our technicians can help distinguish between wood-boring insect damage and treat these pests accordingly.
Mice head indoors each fall to escape dropping temperatures and find food. Someone searching for an exterminator in Ottawa this time of year is usually dealing with this exact seasonal shift. Sealing small gaps around your foundation and doors before the cold sets in makes a real difference.
It depends on the pest, your home's size, and how much treatment the job needs. Contact us for a free quote, and we'll provide a clear estimate for your property.
Yes, warm and humid Ottawa summers bring wasps out in force, especially in July and August. They tend to build nests under eaves, in sheds, and around yards. If you spot one, it's best to leave it alone and have a technician assess it rather than disturbing it yourself.
You can take simple steps like sealing gaps, removing food sources, and reducing standing water. However, established infestations can be difficult to control without finding the source. A professional inspection can identify where pests are nesting or entering and recommend treatment suited to your property.
