Pest Control Etobicoke

Bed Bugs: The Silent Nuisance

With a high concentration of mid-rise and high-rise residential buildings, and a diverse population, Etobicoke faces significant challenges with bed bug infestations. These pests can spread rapidly through walls, corridors, and shared spaces—often moving from unit to unit without immediate detection. Bed bug problems are particularly acute in high-traffic rental properties and hotels near transit corridors.

Speedy Pest Control uses a combination of industry-leading heat treatments and eco-friendly solutions to eradicate bed bugs at all life stages. Our experienced team offers discreet, thorough inspections, education for tenants and landlords, and ongoing monitoring to prevent reinfestations—ensuring your peace of mind and a restful night’s sleep.

Rodents: Mouse, Rat, and Squirrel Invaders

Etobicoke’s mature neighborhoods are no strangers to rodent issues. Mice often exploit foundation cracks, utility gaps, and aging siding, making their way into basements, kitchens, and pantries. Rats—especially Norway rats—are sometimes encountered in areas near the lake, industrial zones, or urban gardens.

Squirrels, attracted by large canopy trees common in areas like Sunnylea and Islington, can squeeze into tiny openings under rooflines or eaves, bringing noise, mess, and even the risk of electrical fires due to gnawing on wires.

Our rodent and squirrel control strategies combine humane exclusion, barrier installation, and precise identification of entry points, paired with monitoring and follow-up visits to ensure your problem is solved for good.

Urban Wildlife: Raccoons, Skunks, & More

Residents of Etobicoke are accustomed to spotting raccoons rifling through green bins or skunks burrowing beneath decks and sheds. Raccoons, known for their intelligence and dexterity, often infiltrate attics, break through roof vents, or upend compost bins. Their droppings can spread dangerous pathogens, and their nesting habits cause costly building damage.

Skunks are notorious for digging up lawns in search of insects and leaving behind their pungent scent when startled. This is particularly problematic for families with kids, pets, or avid gardeners.

Speedy Pest Control practices humane wildlife removal and adheres to all GTA and Ontario regulations, using live traps, safe release practices, and physical deterrents to ensure your property stays protected—all while prioritizing safety for both people and animals.
