Rats in the crawl space? Carpenter ants in the deck frame? Wasps under the eaves again? Priority Pest Management provides pest control in Coquitlam for homeowners who want the problem solved rather than pushed down the road. We find the entry point, treat the source, and come back to make sure it worked.

Coquitlam is not one kind of place, and pest problems here do not behave the same way from one end of the city to the other. A brand new house on Burke Mountain sitting a hundred metres from standing forest faces something very different from a 1950s bungalow in Austin Heights with a crawl space that has settled over seventy years. We treat both, and we do not use the same plan for each.
Burke Mountain and Westwood Plateau were built into forested hillside, and the greenbelt does not respect property lines. Rodents come down out of the treeline when the nights turn cold, usually through roof vents and soffit gaps rather than at ground level, because on a sloped lot the roof is the easy approach. Wasps do it in reverse each spring. The ravines add the rest: Hoy Creek, Scott Creek and the Coquitlam River are continuous green corridors, and rats travel them the way people use sidewalks.
South of Como Lake the housing gets older. Austin Heights and Maillardville character homes come with settled foundations, original crawl spaces and damp wood, which is exactly what carpenter ants look for. Town Centre is different again. In a condo or townhouse complex, pests move through shared wall voids and plumbing chases, so treating one unit while the neighbouring one goes untouched only looks like the problem came back.
We work right across Coquitlam, from Burke Mountain and Westwood Plateau through Town Centre, Austin Heights and Maillardville, and out into the wider Tri-Cities. Knowing the area matters more than it sounds. Hillside forest interface, ravine corridors, older post-war housing and high-density strata buildings each call for a different approach, and a technician who already knows which one they are walking into wastes less of your time.

Rats are searching for food, warmth, and shelter. They often gain access through gaps in the foundation, wall vents, open garage doors, or easily accessible gutter lines and roof points. Cluttered yards, garbage, and pet food attract them to the property.
We begin with a thorough inspection to identify entry points and nesting zones. All accessible entry points are professionally sealed, and tamper-resistant traps are placed in high-activity areas. We return for two follow-up visits to monitor and adjust traps, ensuring the issue is fully resolved.
Mice enter through tiny gaps — as small as a dime — in search of food and shelter. Cold weather, food crumbs, and poorly sealed structures make homes ideal nesting grounds.
We perform a full inspection to find entry points and nesting sites, then seal off all accessible entry points. Traps are strategically placed in high-activity areas. Follow-up visits ensure traps are cleared and that no new activity is present.
Ants follow scent trails to food or water. They’re often drawn inside by crumbs, spills, or moisture.
We target nests using gel baits, perimeter sprays, and barrier treatments — safely eliminating ants at the source.
Wasps are attracted to sugary food and protein. They often build nests in sheltered areas like attics, soffits, or trees.
We locate and safely remove nests using professional-grade aerosols and protective equipment — with follow-up to prevent re-nesting.
Silverfish love moisture and darkness. They feed on starchy items like paper, books, cardboard, and even clothing.
We apply targeted residual insecticides and monitor for activity. Our moisture management and exclusion services help ensure long-term control.
Grubs are beetle larvae that feed on grassroots. They thrive in well-watered lawns and lay eggs in summer.
We apply seasonally timed grub control treatments, reducing larval populations and protecting your lawn from further damage.
Moles tunnel in search of earthworms and grubs. Well-irrigated, healthy lawns are ideal hunting grounds.
We identify active tunnels, set effective underground traps, and return for multiple follow-ups to eliminate mole activity fully.
Squirrels commonly enter homes through roof gaps, soffits, or vents, looking for a safe, warm place to nest — especially during colder months or baby season. Nearby trees or roof access points make entry even easier.
We install one-way exclusion doors that allow squirrels to exit safely but not return. Once we’ve confirmed all squirrels have left the structure, we seal up all entry points to prevent re-entry, keeping your home protected long-term.
Roaches thrive in warm, humid areas with access to food. Even clean homes can attract them via grocery bags or plumbing voids.
We use professional-grade baits, dusts, and insect growth regulators, combined with crack-and-crevice treatments for full elimination.
Bed bugs hitchhike on luggage, furniture, or clothing. They are drawn to body heat and carbon dioxide.
We offer detailed inspections and multi-step heat or chemical treatments to eliminate all life stages — with follow-up support included.
Spiders are drawn to dark, quiet areas and enter homes while hunting for insects.
We use targeted residual sprays, remove webs, and seal entry points to reduce spider presence inside and out.
No call centre, no scripts, no upselling you into a package your house does not need. We show up when we said we would, explain what we found in plain terms, and quote once. The number you hear is the number you pay. If the problem is small, we will tell you it is small. That is generally how people end up calling us again three years later for something else.
