Pest Control on Galiano Island

Pest Control on Galiano Island

Apollo Pest Control comes to Galiano for ant, rodent, wasp, and seasonal pest work. Galiano is long, narrow, and heavily forested — most properties either back onto trees or are surrounded by them. That setting drives the kinds of calls we get here: carpenter ants in homes with moisture issues or forest contact, mice in older cabins, and yellowjacket nests in outbuilding rafters through summer.

We travel to Galiano from Swartz Bay to Sturdies Bay. For lower trip costs, ask to be added to our next scheduled Galiano visit — combining multiple service calls into a single ferry trip keeps pricing reasonable for everyone. If a problem is urgent, we can arrange a private service call to the island on its own schedule.

Common Pest Calls on Galiano Island

Galiano Island property
  • Carpenter ants in cedar homes with forest-contact eaves, deck posts touching wet ground, or moisture problems in roof structures
  • Mice in older cabins, cottages, and homes — particularly fall and winter as rodents move in for warmth
  • Wasp nests in detached sheds, garages, woodsheds, and barn rafters through July, August, and September
  • Rats on properties with compost, fruit trees, or detached storage outbuildings near treelines
  • Pantry pests in seasonal homes — moths and beetles in stored grain, flour, pet food, and bird seed
  • Ant trails in kitchens during warm months, often coming from outdoor nests in mossy garden beds or beneath deck boards

What's Different About Galiano Island

The forested edge that makes Galiano beautiful also means pest pressure from the surrounding ecosystem is constant. Long-term control on Galiano is usually less about treatment frequency and more about exclusion — sealing the structure so the inevitable wildlife pressure outside stays outside.
