Pest Control · Ironwood, Richmond
Pest control in Ironwood for townhomes and newer builds.
Ironwood, around Steveston Highway and No. 5 Road, is a neighbourhood of townhouse complexes and detached homes with farmland to the south and east and industrial land toward the river. That edge-of-the-city position is what brings pests in. Tell us what you're dealing with and we'll try to connect you with an independent provider who covers Ironwood.
Local knowledge
What we see in Ironwood.
Fields, ditches and warehouses surround Ironwood on three sides. Rodents living along the farm ditches and around industrial bins move toward housing when crops are harvested, when ditches are cleared and when the weather turns wet.
Ironwood has a number of townhouse complexes. Shared walls, shared attic spaces in some older complexes and shared garbage enclosures mean a rodent or cockroach problem is rarely limited to one unit. The strata's own pest contract, if it has one, is the first thing to ask about.
Newer buildings tend to have fewer gaps, but not none. Garage door corners, weep holes, and the gaps where gas, cable and air conditioning lines enter are the usual finds.

Ironwood questions.
My Ironwood townhouse is in a strata. Who handles pest control?
Check your bylaws and ask the property manager. Many stratas have a contract covering exterior rodent stations and common areas, while owners are responsible for the inside of their unit. Report problems in writing either way.
Why do rodents show up after the fields are harvested?
Harvest and ditch clearing remove food and cover in a matter of days. Rodents that were living in the fields look for the next nearest shelter, and the first row of houses is it.
