The Lower Mainland’s temperate climate makes it a beautiful place to live—but it also attracts various pests that can invade your home or business. At Elite Pest Control, we’ve seen it all, and here are the five most common pests in Coquitlam, Surrey, and Vancouver, along with tips to keep them at bay.

1. Ants

Ants are notorious for infiltrating homes, especially during warmer months. Keep food sealed, wipe down counters, and address cracks in walls or foundations to block their entry.

2. Rodents (Mice and Rats)

Rodents can cause structural damage and spread diseases. Regularly inspect your property for signs of droppings or chewed wires, and seal any gaps around doors, windows, and pipes.

3. Cockroaches

These resilient pests thrive in damp, dark spaces. Keep your home clean, address water leaks, and avoid leaving food out overnight to deter them.

4. Spiders

While most spiders are harmless, they’re an unwelcome sight for many. Reduce clutter, vacuum regularly, and ensure windows and doors are sealed to prevent spider infestations.

5. Wasps

Wasps are aggressive, especially during the summer. Avoid leaving sweet drinks or food outside, and contact a professional if you spot a nest on your property.
