What to check when hiring pest control in Canada
MyTrustedTraders ranks on independent public evidence. No ads, no paid placement. Use these checks alongside the evidence on each profile before you decide who to contact.
- Make sure they identify the pest and find where it is getting in FIRST. A reputable firm explains the problem and the plan and proofs the entry points, not just sprays and leaves.
- Be wary of contracts that lock you into repeat visits you may not need; ask whether a one-off treatment with a guarantee would solve it before signing up to an ongoing plan.
- Check they use approved, safe methods and carry insurance. It matters around children, pets, and anywhere food is prepared.
- Trade licensing in Canada is set by each province or territory. Electrical, gas and plumbing are licensed trades almost everywhere (for example ESA for electrical and TSSA for gas in Ontario), so check your provincial regulator that the contractor is certified for the work before you hire.
- A construction lien is a real risk: in every province an unpaid subcontractor or supplier can register a lien against your home even if you already paid the main contractor. Hold back the statutory amount (commonly around 10%) and get signed lien waivers as you pay.
How to judge a pest control
Independent, no-ads guidance. The trade-specific checks that matter most, the warning signs, and what to ask before you hire. Use it alongside each contractor’s public evidence above.
Verify before you hire
- Anyone applying pesticides commercially must hold a provincial exterminator/applicator licence (e.g. under Ontario's Pesticides Act) and may only use products registered by Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA): verify the licence before any treatment.
- For an urgent problem, judge on how fast they can attend, but insist on a written treatment plan, the products used, and any re-entry/safety period for children and pets.
- A guarantee or follow-up visit is reasonable for infestations like bedbugs, rodents or wasps: get it in writing.
- Check liability insurance and that they identify the pest and cause, not just spray.
Warning signs of a rogue contractor
- Applies pesticides without a provincial applicator licence, or won't name the products and their PMRA registration.
- No safety information on re-entry times or protecting pets and children.
- Sprays without inspecting or identifying the source of the problem.
- Cash-only with no written plan, guarantee or insurance.
Questions to ask before you hire
- What is your provincial pesticide applicator licence number?
- Which registered products will you use, and what's the safe re-entry period?
- Is there a guarantee or follow-up visit in writing?
- Do you carry liability insurance?
Frequently asked questions
- How do I choose a trustworthy pest control?
- Compare the public evidence on each profile: how many independent reviews they have and across how many named sources, the rating and how recent it is, any credential evidence, and the company status. A pest control backed by several named sources is harder to fake than one found in only one place.
- Does MyTrustedTraders rank or recommend pest control for payment?
- No. There are no ads and no paid placement. Pest control are ranked only by the strength of independent public evidence. No one can pay to rank higher, add a badge, or change their reviews.
- Where do the reviews come from?
- They're imported from named public review sources and always shown with the source named. They aren't reviews written on MyTrustedTraders. We cross-check the same business across sources rather than creating new reviews.
- What should I check before hiring a pest control?
- Confirm credentials and insurance directly with the pest control, get a written quote, and run the Cowboy Checker on the business first. MyTrustedTraders helps you shortlist on the evidence. It doesn't replace your own checks before you hire.
