Burlington is a great place to live, and its environment suits pests too. Lake Ontario, creeks, ravines, parks, golf courses, wooded areas and mature, tree-lined neighbourhoods give insects, spiders and rodents plenty of food, moisture and shelter. Halton Pest Control provides residential and commercial pest control across Burlington, from detached homes and townhouses to condos, apartments and businesses.
Whether you’re dealing with mice in the kitchen, carpenter ants in the deck, wasps in the soffit or bed bugs after a trip, our licensed technicians identify the pest, find out where it’s coming from and treat it with professional-grade products that aren’t available to the public. You’ll also get practical advice to help keep pests from coming back.
Residential & Commercial Pest Control in Burlington
We work with homeowners, landlords, property managers, condo and apartment buildings, and businesses throughout Burlington. In multi-unit buildings, pests like bed bugs, cockroaches and pharaoh ants can move between units through shared walls, plumbing and utility gaps. We can work with property management to inspect and treat neighbouring units and common areas when needed.
For businesses, unwanted pests can affect employees, customers and your reputation. We plan inspections and treatments to address activity early, with as little disruption to your day-to-day operations as possible.

Most Common Pests in Burlington
Mice and Rats
Mice and rats are some of the most common pests in Burlington homes. They get in through small gaps around foundations, utility lines and doors, and colder weather pushes more of them indoors in fall and winter. Rodents contaminate food and surfaces, chew wiring and insulation, and breed quickly. We inspect for droppings, nesting areas, travel routes and entry points, use secure, tamper-resistant bait stations where appropriate, and recommend ways to keep rodents out.
Carpenter Ants and Other Ants
Warm summers, mature trees and landscaped yards give ants everything they need. Carpenter ants are drawn to damp or decaying wood and are often found where there are moisture problems, such as decks, window frames, basements and attics. Left alone, they can damage wooden structures. Pavement ants and pharaoh ants are also common, and pharaoh ants in particular need the right treatment, since spraying them can make the colony split and spread.
Bed Bugs
Bed bugs travel in luggage, furniture and bedding, and they can spread between units in condos and apartments. They multiply quickly and are hard to eliminate without professional help. Bed bugs feed on blood and can cause itchy bites and lost sleep, so early detection and treatment matter.
Wasps and Hornets
Burlington’s gardens, wooded areas and mature neighbourhoods suit paper wasps and yellow jackets. Nests start small in spring and peak in August and September, when colonies are largest and most defensive. We treat exposed nests under eaves and decks as well as structural nests hidden behind soffits, siding and brickwork.
Spiders
Homes near Lake Ontario, creeks, ponds and ravines often see more spiders. Water and dense vegetation produce large numbers of the small flying insects spiders feed on, and exterior lights draw those insects to windows, porches and doorways. Exterior and interior spider treatments can reduce webs and repeat activity around your home.
Cockroaches, Fleas, Centipedes and More
We also treat cockroaches (most often in kitchens and multi-unit buildings), fleas brought in by pets, house centipedes in damp basements and bathrooms, pantry and clothes moths, deer ticks in yards, and other common household pests.
What to Expect From Halton Pest Control
- An inspection first. We identify the pest, where it’s active and what’s attracting it before recommending treatment.
- Professional-grade products. Our technicians use products restricted to professional use and follow label directions and safe application practices, with precautions for homes with children and pets.
- Clear preparation and re-entry instructions. Before service, we tell you how to prepare and how long people and pets need to stay out of treated areas.
- Follow-up where it’s needed. Many treatments, such as those for bed bugs and cockroaches, include a scheduled second visit. If pests are still a problem after treatment, call us and we’ll talk through next steps, including any warranty that applies to your treatment.
- Warranties on qualifying treatments. 90 days for fleas, wasps, and pharaoh and pavement ants; 6 months for carpenter ants. Exterior-only treatments do not include a warranty.
- Prevention advice. Sealing entry points, reducing moisture and storing food properly all help treatment last.

Pest Control FAQ for Burlington Homeowners
What are the most common pests in Burlington? Mice, rats, carpenter ants, bed bugs and wasps are among the most common. Burlington’s lakefront, creeks, ravines and mature neighbourhoods also mean spiders and outdoor insects are common in summer.
When is wasp season in Burlington? Queens start new nests in spring, and colonies grow through summer. Activity usually peaks in August and September and ends after sustained cold weather or a hard frost.
Why do homes near the lake or creeks get more spiders? Water and dense vegetation produce lots of small flying insects, which spiders feed on. Exterior lights draw those insects to the house, so spiders build webs around windows, porches and doorways.
Do you treat condos and apartments? Yes. We work with residents, landlords and property managers. In multi-unit buildings, neighbouring units and common areas sometimes need inspection or treatment too, because bed bugs, cockroaches and some ants move through shared walls and plumbing.
Can I handle a pest problem with store-bought products? Store-bought products may knock down some activity, but they often miss the source, and some (like sprays on pharaoh ants, or foggers before a cockroach treatment) can make professional treatment less effective. If activity keeps coming back, call for advice.
Do I need to leave my home during treatment? For many interior treatments, yes. People and pets usually need to stay out for at least four hours, or longer if your technician says so. We explain preparation and re-entry before your appointment.
