Get a Free QuoteScarborough’s mix of high-rise apartments, postwar bungalows, and newer townhome developments means we see the full spectrum of pest problems here — often in the same week.
The apartment towers along Lawrence, Eglinton, and Kingston Road have long-standing cockroach and bed bug populations that require persistent, building-wide strategies. The residential streets in Birch Cliff, Agincourt, and Woburn deal with mice that use the Rouge River and Highland Creek ravine systems as highways into backyards and basements. And the newer subdivisions in the eastern reaches of Scarborough — near Rouge Park — see wildlife issues as urban development pushes into natural habitat.
We serve all of Scarborough, from the Bluffs to Malvern, and we know that pest control here requires understanding the neighbourhood, not just the pest.
Scarborough’s most common pest problems
Cockroaches are the number one issue in Scarborough, particularly in the mid-rise and high-rise buildings concentrated along major corridors. Many of these buildings were built in the 1960s and 70s with shared plumbing and electrical chases that German cockroaches exploit to spread between units. Treating one apartment without addressing the building is often futile.
Bed bugs follow the same pattern — dense in multi-unit housing, spreading through shared laundry facilities, hallways, and wall voids. Scarborough’s affordable rental stock makes it one of the hardest-hit areas in the GTA.
Mice and rats are common near the ravine systems — Rouge River, Highland Creek, and the Bluffs. Rats in particular have established populations near the waterfront. Residential areas backing onto green spaces see increased mouse activity every fall.
Ants — pavement ants invade through basement and garage floor cracks in summer. Carpenter ants are found in homes near Scarborough’s many parks and creek valleys, especially where water damage has softened structural wood.
What we treat in Scarborough
We know Scarborough
Scarborough is underserved by pest control companies that focus on downtown Toronto. We give Scarborough the same priority and same-day service as anywhere else in the GTA. We understand the specific building types here, the ravine-driven pest corridors, and the multi-unit challenges that make Scarborough pest control different from a house call in the suburbs.

Questions about pest control in Scarborough
Do you service apartment buildings in Scarborough?
Yes. We work with individual tenants, landlords, and property managers. For cockroach and bed bug problems in apartments, we can coordinate multi-unit treatment plans — which is often the only way to permanently resolve the issue.
What pests are most common in Scarborough apartments?
German cockroaches and bed bugs. Both are endemic in many of Scarborough’s older apartment buildings. They spread between units through shared walls, plumbing, and electrical conduits.
Are there rats in Scarborough?
Yes, particularly near the waterfront (Bluffs area), the Rouge River, and Highland Creek. Norway rats establish colonies near water sources and forage in residential areas. We do trapping and exclusion to address them.
How much does an exterminator cost in Scarborough?
Same as across the GTA: cockroaches $200-500, mice $250-600, bed bugs $300-800 per room. We quote before starting — no surprises.
Can you come the same day?
Usually yes. Scarborough is a core service area for us. If you call before noon, we can typically be there by the afternoon.
