Pest control in Cambie, where old lots meet new condos.
The Cambie area in north-central Richmond is changing fast. Older single-family lots sit beside new townhouse and condo developments, with busy commercial strips and highway corridors close by. That churn moves pests around. Tell us what you're seeing and we'll try to connect you with an independent provider who covers East and West Cambie.
Local knowledge
What we see in Cambie.
Redevelopment is the headline. Every time an older lot is cleared for townhouses or a condo building, the rodents that were living there relocate, usually to the neighbouring houses that are still standing.
The new multi-unit buildings bring city-centre problems with them. Shared walls, parkades and garbage rooms make it easy for mice, cockroaches and bed bugs to travel between units, and newer stratas are not always quick to set up a building-wide pest plan.
Restaurants, grocers and food businesses along the commercial roads keep a steady rodent and cockroach population nearby. Homes backing onto commercial lanes should pay attention to fence lines and anything stored against the back wall.

Cambie questions.
Is West Cambie different from East Cambie for pests?
West Cambie has had more new condo and townhouse building, so shared-building pests like cockroaches and bed bugs are the ones to watch there. East Cambie is a mix of row houses and detached homes, where rodents and ants are the more likely concern. Construction affects both.
A development is going up behind my house. What should I do?
Before clearing starts, screen crawlspace vents, check the garage door seal and move firewood and stored items away from the walls. If you see burrows or droppings once work begins, get it looked at early.
