Get a Free QuoteMarkham has transformed over the past two decades from a semi-rural township into one of the GTA’s largest and most diverse cities. That growth brought beautiful new subdivisions in Cornell, Berczy, and Angus Glen — and it brought the pest pressures that come with building thousands of homes on former farmland.
The older parts of Markham — Unionville, Thornhill (Markham side), and the Main Street corridor — have a different set of challenges. Heritage homes and mature tree-lined streets mean carpenter ants, mice that have been using the same entry points for decades, and raccoons that know every soffit weakness on the block.
Markham also has a significant commercial and industrial presence — the tech corridor along Highway 7 and the business parks near Woodbine and 14th Avenue. Cockroach issues in restaurants and commercial kitchens are a regular call for us here.
What Markham homeowners deal with
Mice are the number one residential pest in Markham. The newer subdivisions in north Markham (Cornell, Berczy Village, Cathedraltown) are surrounded by agricultural land where field mice are abundant. Construction gaps around pipes and utility lines give them easy access. Older homes in Unionville and central Markham have foundation cracks and worn weatherstripping that mice exploit every fall.
Cockroaches are prevalent in Markham’s commercial areas and in older apartment buildings and condos, particularly around the Highway 7 corridor. German cockroaches in food-service businesses are a frequent commercial call.
Carpenter ants are common in Unionville and Thornhill where mature trees and older wood-frame homes create ideal conditions. Properties bordering Rouge National Urban Park and the many creek systems that run through Markham see the most activity.
Wildlife — raccoons and squirrels — follow Markham’s extensive ravine and creek system (Rouge River, Bruce Creek, Berczy Creek) directly into residential areas.

Questions about pest control in Markham
Do you service both residential and commercial in Markham?
Yes. We handle home pest control across all of Markham’s neighbourhoods, and we also work with restaurants, offices, and commercial properties — particularly along Highway 7 and in the Woodbine/Steeles business area.
Why do new Markham homes get mice?
North Markham’s new subdivisions were built on farmland. Field mice were already established in the area, and new construction often has unsealed gaps around pipes, HVAC, and electrical penetrations. These need to be identified and sealed — something builders often overlook.
Are there raccoons in Markham?
Definitely. The Rouge River and its tributaries run through Markham and provide a highway for raccoons, squirrels, and skunks. Homes backing onto these green corridors are particularly susceptible to wildlife entry.
What does pest control cost in Markham?
Same GTA pricing: mice $250-600, cockroaches $200-500, carpenter ants $200-500, raccoon removal $300-700. We quote upfront after inspection.
How quickly can you come to Markham?
Same-day service for most calls. Markham is a core service area for us. Morning calls are typically serviced by afternoon.
