Mice and rats
Activity rises as temperatures drop in fall and mice look for warm basements and garages. Nearby construction can also push rodents into finished homes.

What we see in Toronto
The most common pestsin Toronto homes.
Toronto's older housing stock, shared walls and busy laneways make rodents, cockroaches and bed bugs the calls we take most.
Peak: September to March
Cockroaches
German cockroaches spread between units through shared walls and plumbing, so apartments and townhouse rows often need neighbouring units treated too.
Bed bugs
They travel in luggage, used furniture and shared laundry rooms. Common in rentals, basement units and multi-unit buildings.
Ants and carpenter ants
Pavement ants march in each spring. Carpenter ants nest in damp or damaged wood around decks, windows and rooflines.
Wasps and mosquitoes
Wasp nests grow fastest in late summer under eaves and in sheds. Mosquitoes breed in standing water in yards, planters and eavestroughs.

Toronto FAQ
Toronto questions,answered.
Why are rat complaints rising in Toronto?
City of Toronto rodent service requests rose from 1,165 in 2015 to 2,523 in 2024. Warmer winters, a growing population and construction that displaces colonies all play a part.
My neighbour in the attached semi has mice too. What can you do?
Mice and cockroaches move through shared walls, so we seal the gaps on your side and can treat neighbouring homes at the same visit if your neighbours agree.
How fast can you get to my Toronto home?
Our usual response time is within 1 business day. Urgent calls, such as wasp nests by a door, get priority.
Are you licensed to do pest control in Ontario?
Exterm Pest Control holds an Ontario Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks structural exterminator licence. Ontario requires one for anyone who performs extermination, unless exempt.
