Our Customers Drive Us To Succeed
Have been using Terminix Canada for a few years now. We live in a rural neighbourhood, so we get a lot of weird critters here. They have gone above and beyond several times for us and have been so helpful with offering advice and even extra check-ups. Will definitely continue to use them.
I began using Terminix Canada last June hoping they would be able to control a horrible exterior spider problem we experience every summer, common with living by the lake. I was amazed at how well it worked! Never, in 35 years, have our windows and property been so clear of webs and spider droppings throughout the summer. I use them regularly now. Their products work for a whole range of pests, and their technicians are knowledgeable, thorough and personable. I can’t recommend them highly enough!
The people here are outstanding! They explained what needed to be done and why. They even listed things out in order of importance. Once the job was scheduled, they wasted no time getting the work complete.

Common Wildlife and Pests in Toronto and Surrounding Areas
Toronto, a bustling metropolis and the largest city in Canada, pulsates with life and diversity. Its population of 2.93 million people creates a vibrant tapestry of cultures and experiences. However, amidst this urban landscape, a silent battle is waged against the resilient creatures that coexist with its residents.
The city of Toronto, along with its neighboring cities like Mississauga, Etobicoke, Brampton, North York, Richmond Hill, Vaughan and Oakville has earned the moniker of the “raccoon capital of the world,” as it hosts approximately 100,000 of these cunning and resourceful critters.
But it’s not just raccoons that call Toronto home. The city’s thriving population and its status as a tourist magnet create ideal conditions for an uninvited guest—bed bugs. These elusive creatures find refuge in the warmth of human dwellings, setting up camp in mattresses and upholstery. The presence of bed bugs can turn a peaceful slumber into a nightmarish battle against itchy bites and sleepless nights.
Fortunately, at Terminix Canada, we have honed our skills in the art of bed bug extermination for over 90 years, eradicating these blood-sucking nuisances from countless condos. Our seasoned exterminators possess the knowledge and expertise to eliminate even the most stubborn pest infestations, erasing those dreaded dark stains and restoring peace to your sleeping quarters.
We understand that pests have no regard for your reputation or the success of your establishment. A single spider sighting in your elegant dining room along King Street West can send shivers down the spines of even the bravest patrons, potentially tarnishing your hard-earned reputation. Similarly, an infestation of fruit flies in the vibrant neighborhood of Etobicoke can swiftly turn patio season into a battle against tiny airborne invaders.

The most common household pests in the Greater Toronto Area are:
Ants: Various ant species, such as pavement ants and carpenter ants, are prevalent in homes, seeking food and water indoors.
Bed Bugs: These persistent blood-feeding insects are a significant concern in the region, infesting beds, furniture, and other areas where people rest or sleep.
Cockroaches: German cockroaches are frequently found in residential settings, particularly in kitchens and bathrooms, where they can thrive in warm and humid conditions.
Large apartment buildings, such as those in downtown Toronto, pose a particular challenge as pests (especially insects like bed bugs) can quickly move between adjacent units through walls, plumbing lines, and electrical conduits. Making it essential to address infestation comprehensively across all affected.
Toronto has been consistently ranked among the worst cities for bed bugs in Canada due to its dense population, frequent international travel, and numerous hotels and rental properties, which create favorable conditions for bed bug infestations to thrive and spread. Surrounding areas such as Scarborough, Vaughan, Brampton, Mississauga, and Richmond Hill have high infestation rates as well.

Yes, there are termites in Toronto and unfortunately, infestations are on the rise. They are especially common in homes near Lake Ontario (The Beaches, Scarborough Bluffs, etc.) since termites prefer damp or rotting wood.
Wasps are a major summer pest in Toronto, Scarborough, Vaughan, Brampton, Mississauga, and Richmond Hill.
To deter wasps and bees from nesting around your property:
- Close Holes: Seal cracks and gaps around the outside of your home and remove clutter to dissuade wasps from building nests.
- Paint Wood: Many wasps use wood to build their nests. Painting or varnishing wood furniture and decks will dissuade them from doing so.
Remove Food: Clean up food spills and crumbs, seal garbage cans and don’t leave out pet food.
Rodents such as mice and rats often come into Toronto homes during the fall to hide from the cold. To prevent this you’ll want to search the exterior of your home and fill any cracks or gaps with wire mesh and foam or caulk. Also, make sure you have robust weather stripping on all your door and windows. mice have been known to fit through holes as small as a quarter inch round or about the size of a pencil!
The safety period after pest control treatments varies depending on the type of treatment used and the severity of the infestation. If chemical treatments are used the home may need to be evacuated for several hours, but in wildlife removal situations you may not need to leave the home at all. Our pest control experts will always advise you on the safest course of action for you and your family.
