Rodent problems are on the rise in the Lower Mainland, especially in Delta, Vancouver, and Port Coquitlam, where urban sprawl meets green spaces. Whether it's rats in your walls or mice in your pantry, one thing is clear—these pests are more than just a nuisance.
At Elite Pest Control, we’re seeing a surge in rodent calls this summer. If you’re hearing scratching sounds at night, finding droppings, or spotting chewed wires or food packages, it’s time to act.

If you’re in Delta, Vancouver, or Port Coquitlam and spot these signs, call a professional right away.
🛡️ Prevention Tips for Homeowners
Seal all entry points:
Use metal mesh or steel wool to block small holes—mice can fit through a space as small as a dime.
Store food in airtight containers:
Rodents are drawn to pet food, grains, and snacks in unsealed packaging.
Keep outdoor areas clean:
Trim back vegetation and keep garbage bins sealed. Rats love overgrown gardens and compost bins.
