Canada’s Silent Termite Problem
Unlike ants or cockroaches, termites cause structural damage, not just nuisance. In Canada, particularly in the Greater Toronto Area, mild winters and moist conditions allow colonies to survive and expand.
Termites don’t rest—they feed 24/7 on wood, drywall, and even furniture. Left untreated, a colony can consume the equivalent of an entire 2×4 every month, silently weakening your home from the inside out.
Types of Termites in Canada
While there are thousands of termite species worldwide, in Canada you’re most likely to encounter:
- Eastern Subterranean Termites (the most destructive and common in Ontario).
- Dampwood Termites
- Drywood Termites (rare, but infest furniture and dry lumber).
At PestFix, we identify the exact species during our inspection—so your treatment plan is precise and effective.

Myth 2: If I don’t see termites, my home is safe.
✅ Fact: Termite damage often goes unnoticed for years until it’s severe.

Why Termites Are So Dangerous
- Hidden Infestation – termites work inside wood and walls, making them hard to detect.
- Massive Colonies – one colony can house hundreds of thousands of termites.
- Continuous Feeding – termites never sleep, feeding 24/7.
- Expensive Repairs – termite damage often isn’t covered by insurance in Canada.
That’s why early detection and professional treatment from PestFix is essential.
