AREAS WE TREAT

Warehouse & Distribution Pest Control in Surrey & Langley

Warehouse pest control in British Columbia is part of our commercial pest control service, for warehouses and distribution centres across the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley. Sites that also run production are covered by our industrial pest control team.

Loading Docks & Doors

Doors left open between trucks, where rats and mice walk straight inside.

Racking & Pallets

Quiet bottom beams and pallet gaps, where mice nest out of sight of staff.

Stored Goods & Packaging

Cardboard, paper and shrink wrap, which rodents shred for nesting material.

Dock Levellers & Drains

Damp pits under levellers and floor drains, where cockroaches find water.

Staff Lunchrooms

Microwaves, fridges and food left in lockers, where ants and roaches feed.

Bins & Yards

Compactors, pallet stacks and fence lines, where rats burrow and shelter.

PESTS WE TREAT

Rat, Mouse & Cockroach Control for Warehouses

Rats and mice account for most warehouse calls, because pallets and packaged stock give them food, nesting material and quiet aisles. Select a pest below to read how we identify it and treat it.

Rats

Brown rats burrowing along yard fences and slipping in under worn dock seals.

Mice

House mice nesting in pallets and cartons, then spreading from bay to bay.

Cockroaches

German cockroaches living around lunchroom appliances and warm floor drains.

Ants

Pavement ants nesting under the slab and trailing in along the dock edges.

Spiders

House spiders spinning webs in high racking, dock corners and stairwells.

Wasps

Yellow jackets building nests under dock canopies, eaves and wall gaps.

WHY ACT EARLY

Warehouses gain from early action, because a few mice in one bay can spread through the racking and travel out on the next shipment.

Spoiled stock and packaging

Chewed wiring on equipment

Pests leaving on outgoing loads

A Structured Plan for Your Warehouse and Yard

We review where your team has seen activity, inspect the docks, racking and perimeter behind it, and propose a treatment that fits how the building operates.
Every step weighs the safety of your staff, the protection of stored goods and the doors, seals and drains pests are using, so entry points are dealt with as well as the pests inside.

WARNING SIGNS

Signs Your Warehouse Needs Pest Control

Gnawed packaging

Chewed carton corners and torn shrink wrap mean rodents are feeding on site.

Droppings along racking

Droppings on bottom beams and pallet tops show where mice travel at night.

Rub marks by dock doors

Dark greasy smears at door edges mark a regular rat route into the building.

Roaches near floor drains

Cockroaches around drains or dock pits point to a colony hiding in the damp.

Ant trails in the lunchroom

A steady line of ants to food or sugar means a colony is nesting close by.

Nests under dock canopies

Wasps flying in and out of one gap in summer mean a nest is growing inside.

BC RULES

BC Rules for Pest Control in Warehouses

Which treatments a warehouse can use depends partly on what it stores, and workplace safety rules apply on every site. This is general information, not legal advice.

Rat poison limits

Strongest poisons allowed for food warehouses, not general goods.

Licensed providers

Paid treatment must come from a licensed, certified technician.

Staying out after treatment

Staff stay out until the label's restricted entry time has passed.

Which warehouses can use the strongest rat poisons?

What the warehouse storesStrongest rat poisons
Food, or food in transitAllowed only through a licensed provider with a rodent management plan
General goods such as furniture, parts or retail stockNot allowed, so traps, proofing and sanitation do the work
Goods inside a port, rail or shipping terminalMay qualify under the transportation category
Even where they are allowed, BC caps each baiting cycle at 35 days and bans baiting without recent rodent activity.

PREVENTION CHECKLIST

A Pest Prevention Checklist for Warehouse Teams

Eight habits for dock crews, supervisors and cleaners that make the next visit shorter and the gaps easier to spot.

PRICING

How Much Does Warehouse Pest Control Cost in BC?

Every warehouse is priced after we understand the site, not from a fixed rate card. These four factors have the largest effect on the quote.

Warehouse size

A single bay takes less time than a large distribution centre.

Number of docks

Each loading door is another route to check, seal and protect.

Type of pest

Rats, mice, cockroaches and wasps each need a different plan.

Racking height

Tall racking and high ceilings add time and equipment to a visit.

Exceptional service by a local Canadian owned company. We called Exopest at 9pm on a Friday night and Manager Kashif Naseer picked up the phone! He was at our home in less than 24 hours. A significant mouse problem was irradiated 24 hours later. Kashif is a true professional: polite, proficient, he educated us, and he solved the problem for us. Could not be happier to recommend this company. Thank you Exopest!

Kashif just left. Bald faced Hornets nest hanging in our front yard tree is safely deactivated. Minor activity still but he said it should be dormant by tomorrow. Super responsive and really nice guy. I checked prices and he's extremely reasonably priced. Easily 5 stars. Would recommend and call again anytime for services if needed! Thanks Kashif and Exopest!

HELPFUL ANSWERS

Warehouse Pest Control FAQs

Answers for warehouse managers, logistics teams and property owners preparing for a visit.

We found gnawed cartons on a pallet. What should we do first?

Move the pallet away from clean stock if you can, keep any damaged goods separate and note the bay and date. Leave the droppings for a proper clean up rather than sweeping them dry, and hold off on store bought poison. Then call us so we can trace where the rodents are getting in.
It depends on what you store. Food storage and food transport facilities are on BC’s essential services list, so a licensed provider can use the strongest rat poisons there under a rodent management plan, with each baiting cycle capped at 35 days and no baiting without recent activity. General goods warehouses are not on the list. This is general information, not legal advice.
Mostly through worn bottom seals, gaps at the sides of dock levellers and doors left open while trucks load. A mouse can squeeze through a gap of about 6 mm, so we check every door edge, seal and leveller pit during the inspection.
In many cases, yes. Under WorkSafeBC rules nobody should enter a treated area until the restricted entry interval on the label has passed, so your technician will explain which aisles or rooms to keep clear and when they can be used again.
They can. Mice and cockroaches hide in cartons and pallets, which is why we look closely at stock near the docks and advise how to hold suspect goods apart until they have been checked.
Yes. Dock canopies, sign brackets and gaps in metal cladding are common nest sites around warehouses as colonies grow through the summer. We treat the nest directly and let your team know how long to keep that doorway clear.
The right frequency depends on what you store, how many docks you run and the activity found on the first inspection. Once we have seen the site, we’ll propose a schedule that matches that level of risk.
Each quote reflects the floor area, the number of docks, the pest involved and the height of the racking. Tell us about your site and what your team has seen, and we’ll send a free quote with no obligation.
