From the historic stone buildings in Galt to the newer developments in Hespeler, Cambridge homes face a unique set of pest pressures. Our proximity to the Grand and Speed Rivers creates a welcoming environment for many pests, whose activity changes with the seasons.

Here’s a look at the most common unwanted guests our technicians encounter:

Ants (Especially Carpenter Ants)

While pavement ants are a nuisance, carpenter ants pose a serious threat. They excavate moist or damaged wood to build their nests, which can compromise the structural integrity of your home over time.

Stinging Insects (Wasps & Hornets)

 As we enjoy our backyards in the summer, wasps and hornets become more active. Nests built in or near homes can pose a serious safety risk, especially for those with allergies.

The most damaging pests in Cambridge are rodents, carpenter ants, and bed bugs.

Rodents chew wires and insulation, creating fire hazards. Carpenter ants hollow out wood, weakening structures. Bed bugs don’t damage buildings, but they cause health and comfort issues that can spread fast in apartments. Watching for droppings, gnaw marks, or unusual bites is key to stopping damage early.

You might hear the terms used interchangeably, but there’s a crucial difference between modern pest control and old-fashioned extermination. Understanding this helps you choose a smarter, safer, and more effective solution.

• Extermination is a reactive approach focused on one thing: killing pests that are already present. It often relies on the heavy application of chemicals without addressing the root cause of why the pests were there in the first place. This can lead to recurring infestations.
• Modern Pest Control uses a proactive, scientific strategy called Integrated Pest Management (IPM). IPM is an eco-friendly approach that focuses on long-term prevention and uses chemicals judiciously as a last resort. It involves understanding pest life cycles to disrupt them effectively.

At PestiXpert, we practice IPM to provide lasting solutions that are safe for your family, pets, and the environment.

Pest control in Cambridge is most effective during spring and fall, when treatments can stop infestations before they spread. Early mornings or evenings are the best times for exterior sprays.

Spring is ideal for preventing ants and wasps from nesting, while fall is the right time to block rodents before winter. Summer treatments target wasps and flies, and winter visits help monitor indoor pests like cockroaches or bed bugs. Timing your service around pest life cycles makes control more effective and lasting.

The cost of pest control in Cambridge usually ranges from $150 to $400, depending on the type of pest, the severity of the infestation, and the size of the property.

In most homes, a one-time service for ants or wasps is on the lower end, while more complex issues like bed bugs or rodents can require multiple treatments. Commercial and industrial properties often need tailored plans with follow-up visits.
