Burnaby is growing fast.
And what do we know about busy, fast-growing cities? Pests grow with us!!
As one of Metro Vancouver’s largest and fastest-growing cities, Burnaby has no shortage of pest activity — from Metrotown to Brentwood to the Heights. That’s why you’re here.
So how much does it cost for pest control in Burnaby? What’s the typical cost to hire an exterminator versus doing it yourself? Here’s your answer.
The Costs for Pest Control in Burnaby
It really depends on what pests we’re dealing with and the size of the property in question. For insect and ant control jobs, spraying an 800 sq ft apartment versus a 3-story, 3000 sq ft home with a large patio, the costs are going to be different for sure.
You should estimate paying between $300–$700 to treat the most common pests.
Regarding individual pest services, a wasp nest removal could run $175 – $445.
A 3-visit rodent control service is in the range of $795 – $1200.
Similarly, a single one-off mice control treatment service ranges from $295 – $600.
A carpenter ant treatment could be more costly. The reason being that home renovation work may be required if we find nests deep under your floor or under your building’s foundations. The costs for this would be in the $2000–$3000 range.
Pavement ants and pharaoh ant spray treatments: prices will vary depending on the size of your home and the target area that needs spraying. Estimate $295 – $445 for an initial visit and one follow-up treatment.
Here’s a full breakdown of the estimated costs for pest control in Burnaby.

What’s factored into the cost of pest control?
- The type of pest we’re dealing with
- Extent of the problem — are we catching it in the early stages, or treating a full-blown infestation?
- The size of your property — spraying an 800 sq ft apartment versus a 3-story 3000 sq ft home with a large patio will cost differently for sure
- The number of service visits required (mice treatments are 1 or 3 visits, fire ants are a minimum of 3 visits, bird control requires an onsite inspection and consultation first)
- Whether remedial or renovation work is required. In severe cases, excavation work might be needed — an ant nest could be residing in a wall or under a home’s foundation, or wildlife control might require trenching around your home to install exclusion fencing, which is time-consuming.
Is it worth paying for pest control?
If it’s going to get rid of the problem and relieve you of stress and headaches, then we say it’s worth it.
The benefit of hiring a professional is they have the skills and know-how to deal with pests quickly, safely, and efficiently. Where it might take you weeks to figure it out as you attempt multiple DIY approaches to eventually land on one that sticks, hiring a professional will typically end your pest problem there and then. No need to wait and go through the pain of figuring it out yourself.
But it also depends on how serious the problem is. Something like a carpenter ant infestation requires professionals who know how to locate and treat the nest that’s underneath your floorboards or in a wall void.
Lastly, consider the cost of not acting. Rats can rip up insulation, chew through electrical wiring, and seriously damage other materials. Or an untreated ant issue could result in a multi-colony infestation underneath your patio tiles. Treating both effectively so the problem is completely gone is hard to do on your own. In these cases, it definitely pays to have a professional on your side.
