Common Pests in London, Ontario
London's mix of older housing stock, urban green space, and cold winters creates ideal conditions for these six pests. Recognise the signs early and act before the problem grows.
Ants
Trails of small ants along counters or baseboards, or larger carpenter ants near wood framing. Both indicate an established colony that a spray won't fix long-term.
Ants treatmentCockroaches
Black pepper-like droppings behind appliances, or roaches visible during the day. Daytime sightings mean the colony is overcrowded — act immediately.
Cockroaches treatmentMice

Mice treatmentBed Bugs
Rust-coloured stains on mattress seams, itchy bites in clusters, or live bugs in headboard joints. Bed bugs spread to every room if left untreated.
