Residential pest control prices in North York depend on the pest type, your home size, and how severe the infestation is. General treatments for mice or cockroaches in a typical North York home range from 150 to 300 dollars. Bed bug treatments run higher at 300 to 1,200 dollars depending on the number of rooms and whether heat treatment is needed. Carpenter ant work starts around 300 dollars because it requires wall void treatment and follow-up visits. Wildlife removal for raccoons or squirrels typically costs 300 to 800 dollars including exclusion and sealing. The best way to get an accurate number is to book a free inspection. Our licensed technician assesses the situation in your home and gives you a firm quote before any work starts. We do not charge for inspections and the price we quote is the price you pay.

Yes. Every product we use is registered with Health Canada Pest Management Regulatory Agency and approved for safe use around people and pets. Gel baits are placed in targeted amounts behind appliances, inside wall voids, and along baseboards where children and pets cannot reach. Dust treatments go into sealed wall cavities with no surface exposure. Heat treatments for bed bugs use no chemicals at all. We also offer eco-friendly and low-toxicity options for households with young children, pregnant family members, or pets with sensitivities. Our technician explains every product and safety precaution before any work begins so you are comfortable with the approach.

Mice are the most common residential pest in North York. The Don River ravine system provides a natural travel corridor that connects green spaces to residential areas across the east side of the district. Older neighbourhoods like Downsview, Willowdale, Bathurst Manor, and Armour Heights see the heaviest mouse pressure because of aging foundations with gaps, attached garages, and proximity to parks and ravines. Cockroaches are the second most common, especially in high-rise condos and apartment buildings along Yonge Street and Sheppard Avenue where they travel through shared plumbing and garbage chutes. Bed bugs are the third, concentrated in multi-unit buildings where they spread between units through luggage, furniture, and laundry.

Yes. Condos in North York face pest challenges that detached homes do not because pests travel between units through shared infrastructure. Cockroaches move through plumbing chases and electrical conduits. Bed bugs spread through luggage, shared laundry rooms, and furniture deliveries. Mice enter through parking garages and utility rooms and travel upward through wall cavities. In high-rise buildings along Yonge Street and Sheppard Avenue, treating a single unit without addressing the shared pathways often leads to re-infestation from neighbouring units. A professional pest control program that coordinates treatment across affected units and common areas is the only way to solve the problem long-term. Pest Control Pro works with condo boards and property managers to deliver building-wide treatment plans.

The best time depends on the pest. For mice, early fall is ideal because that is when they start pushing indoors as temperatures drop. Treating in September or October prevents a full winter infestation. For carpenter ants, early spring is best when colonies activate and before they cause deeper structural damage. For bed bugs, there is no best season because they are active year-round inside heated buildings. For wasps, late spring is the time to catch nests before they grow large and aggressive. As a general rule, the earlier you treat, the smaller the infestation and the lower the cost. If you are seeing signs now, do not wait for the right season. Call for a free inspection today.

Over-the-counter sprays and traps from a hardware store can kill the pests you see on the surface, but they rarely reach the colony or nesting site. Mice return within days because the entry points are still open. Cockroach sprays scatter the colony into new areas of your home. Spraying pharaoh ants triggers colony budding where the colony splits and spreads. And wildlife like raccoons and squirrels cannot be removed safely or legally without proper training and permits under Ontario regulations. A licensed exterminator identifies the species, locates the source, applies targeted treatment, and seals your home so pests cannot return. For anything beyond a few stray ants on your counter, professional treatment saves you time, money, and frustration in the long run.

Most residential pest control treatments provide protection for 60 to 90 days depending on the pest, the treatment method, and conditions in your home. Mouse exclusion (sealing entry points) lasts until the materials degrade or new gaps form, which can be years if done properly. Cockroach gel bait remains effective for several weeks and is reapplied during follow-up visits. Heat treatment for bed bugs eliminates all life stages in a single visit with no residual needed. Carpenter ant treatments typically require one follow-up because satellite nests can survive the initial application. Every service from Pest Control Pro includes a warranty period. If pests return during that period, we re-treat at no extra charge.

Yes. Basement apartments sit below grade where moisture, foundation cracks, weeping tile outlets, and floor drains create conditions that attract mice, cockroaches, silverfish, and centipedes. These units are especially vulnerable in older North York neighbourhoods like Downsview, Willowdale, and Bathurst Manor where foundations have settled over decades. We inspect the full basement perimeter, seal foundation gaps and pipe penetrations, treat active infestations with low-odour products safe for enclosed spaces, and install monitoring stations to catch any new activity early. If you rent a basement apartment and are dealing with pests, your landlord is responsible for providing pest-free conditions under the Ontario Residential Tenancies Act. We work with both tenants and landlords to resolve the problem.

Yes. We use Health Canada registered products, targeted applications and tamper-resistant stations, and we tell you when treated areas are safe to use.

We are open 24 hours, and most homes in North York get a same-day or next-day visit.

For most treatments, only for a few hours while surfaces dry. Bed bug heat treatment usually takes 6 to 8 hours.
