Residential Pest Control

Residential Pest Control That Actually Solves the Problem

Apollo Pest Control works with homeowners, renters and small landlords across Sidney, the Saanich Peninsula and Greater Victoria. Most of our work is residential, which means we see the same kinds of homes — and the same kinds of pest issues — every week. The pest problems people deal with at home are rarely random: they usually trace back to the building, the surrounding property, or seasonal changes — and they respond best to service that addresses all three.

What a Residential Visit Looks Like

1. You describe what you're seeing. Where, when, how often — by phone, email or through the contact form.
2. We inspect. Indoors and out, depending on the pest. We look for the source, not just the symptom.
3. We explain what we found in plain language — including whether a treatment is actually needed.
4. We treat. Targeted, appropriate to the pest and the property.
5. We give prevention recommendations you can actually act on yourself.
6. We follow up if a second visit is recommended.

Common Residential Pests

• Ants and Carpenter Ants — especially common in coastal homes with any moisture history
• Wasps, Hornets & Yellowjackets — particularly active in late summer
• Rats and Mice — in garages, crawlspaces, attics, kitchens and sheds
• Bed Bugs — often introduced through travel or used furniture
• Cockroaches — in older buildings and multi-unit homes
• Pantry Pests — moths and beetles in dry goods, pet food and seed

Service Options for Residential Clients

• Same-day emergency service when available
• Eco-conscious and pet-friendly options
• Service for small landlord properties

What We Won't Do

We won't recommend treatments that aren't needed. We won't lock you into a recurring contract before we've even seen the property. And we won't use a heavier product when a more targeted approach will work just as well.

If we can solve your problem in one visit, that's what we'll do.

What We Look At Beyond the Pest Itself

The pest is usually the easiest part. The harder questions — and the ones that determine whether the problem comes back — are around the building and the surrounding property:

• Are there gaps under exterior doors, garage doors, or around utility penetrations?
• Are crawlspace vents and attic screens intact?
• Is there moisture damage in obvious areas — under sinks, around windows, on deck connections?
• Is vegetation touching the building?
• Are firewood, debris, or stored materials within a few feet of the foundation?
• Is garbage, compost, or bird seed stored in a way that attracts pests?

We'll point these out and give you a short, practical list of things you can do yourself to reduce future pressure.

For Homeowners, Renters and Tenants

If you're renting and you've discovered a pest issue, talk to your landlord first — most pest control in rental properties is the landlord's responsibility. If you're a homeowner, we'll work directly with you. Either way, we explain pricing clearly before any treatment begins.
