Pests in Nanaimo

In Nanaimo, BC, residents and homeowners often encounter various pests that can pose challenges to daily living and property maintenance. Common pests in the region include rodents such as mice and rats, which are attracted to the availability of food and shelter in residential areas. Additionally, insects like pavement ants, carpenter ants and wasps are prevalent, particularly in the warmer months. Carpenter ants, which are capable of causing structural damage to homes by hollowing out wood for nesting, are a significant concern.

Another noteworthy pest in Nanaimo is the deer mouse, which is particularly concerning due to its ability to transmit Hantavirus to humans. This virus can be spread through contact with mouse carcasses or by inhaling dust contaminated with their droppings or urine. The city’s proximity to natural habitats also brings occasional sightings of larger wildlife like bears and deer, which, while not pests in the traditional sense, can lead to conflicts in urban and suburban settings, especially when it comes to property damage and traffic accidents. Managing these pest issues often requires integrated pest management strategies combining prevention, proper waste management, and sometimes professional extermination services.

Nanaimo Pest Control FAQs

Let’s talk about pests in Nanaimo. Here are some common questions we get asked about our pest control services.

What pests do you cover in your service?

Unfortunately, we can’t help with moles, voles, or bears! But most other pests, we’ve got you covered.

Rodents like Rats, Mice, and Squirrels
Wildlife; Raccoons, Skunks, and Birds
Ants; Carpenter Ants, Pavement Ants, and Fire Ants
Insects; Cockroaches, Silverfish, Flies, and Termites.
Spiders, Bats, Sowbugs, and Bed Bugs

What neighborhoods in Nanaimo do you serve?

Service areas in Nanaimo, BC include Downtown, Old City, Harewood, Departure Bay, North Nanaimo, and South Nanaimo. Our technicians also service smaller communities such as Hammond Bay, Chase River, and the University District.

How much does pest control cost?

It really depends on what pests we are dealing with. A wasps nest removal could be $195 – $250. A 3 visit service rodent control service is in the range of $395-$495. While a carpenter ant treatment could mean some home reno work is required (if we find nests in your walls, or under your floor). The costs for this would be in the 2-4K range. We offer free quotes, and onsite quotes for carpenter ant and bird control projects. Chat with a pest expert for a quotation.

What pests are most common in Nanaimo?

Like the rest of the coastal towns in BC, Nanaimo is very wet and humid. What we know about coastal towns is that they are humid, which provides a perfect environment for pests to thrive. Rats and Mice are active all year round but are most actively breeding in the spring and fall months. And when the weather starts to get colder, we’ll see these critters start to make their way indoors in search of food and shelter.

Ants and insects come alive in the spring time, but if there is an established colony, they can exist inside your property over the winter months. Spotting ants inside your home during the colder months is a sign that you might have an infestation.

Summer is when pests come to life. Insects will being more prominent, wasps will build hives and annoy us, while birds might pester us on condo balcony. So all in all, living in Nanaimo, you’ll get your fair share of pests just like the rest of BC.

Is pest control better than doing it yourself?

Consider DIY methods as more of a band-aid type of solution, rather than permanently solving your problems. You might be able to fight them off, but for how long. Whereby with a service by a licensed pest control technician they will implement preventative measures, offer more of a permanent solution.. and will answer any questions you have (yes, ask us anything you want)

Some pests like mice and fruit flies can be relatively easy to tackle yourself, with nothing more than a Google search to find some ideas. But there are others like carpenter ants, or wasp nest removals that require a skilled technician to handle.

Do you have a guarantee on your pest control service?

At Westside Pest Control we strive for the highest level of customer service. If you are unhappy with the service, or if you spot critters again after we’ve gone, we’ll send a technician back to fix it all up at no cost. We want to make sure you are happy in your home and your pest problems are no more.

Some pests like rats, mice, & squirrels we provide a 5 year warranty on all the hardware (exclusion materials) that we use to seal up the entryways.

After a few simple questions, free estimates can be given over the phone for any pest control issues.

Is it worth paying for pest control?

If it’s going to get rid of the problem and relieve you of stress and headaches, then we say that it’s worth it. But it also depends how bad the problem is and if a professional is needed. Something like a carpenter ant infestation would require professionals who know what they are doing.

We do provide a number of resources for all you DIYers who want to tackle the critters themselves. Check out our Guide to Mice Removal.

Do you use rat poison?
