Residential Pest Control · Southern Ontario

Spiders & Ticks Don't Belong Here.

We treat the perimeter of your home — top to bottom, inside and out — so spiders, ticks, and other unwanted pests stay outside, where they belong.

We reply after 4pm on weekdays, or anytime on weekends.

What We Treat

Spiders & ticks are our specialty

Two of the most common — and most avoidable — pest problems around Ontario homes. Here's what we're up against and how we deal with each one.

🕷 Spiders

Spiders build webs and hide in eaves, window wells, door frames, garages, sheds, and anywhere else they can find shelter and easy access to insects to eat. A treated perimeter breaks that cycle — it removes the food source and makes your home's exterior an unwelcoming place to settle in, so webs and spider activity drop off fast.

🦠 Ticks

Ticks live low — in tall grass, leaf litter, garden beds, and along the wooded or brushy edges of a yard. They don't jump or fly; they wait on vegetation and latch onto anything that brushes past, including kids, pets, and adults. Treating the yard perimeter and vegetation line is the single most effective way to cut down tick exposure before it ever becomes a bite.

Our Process

How we treat your property

We use battery-powered backpack sprayers for precise, even coverage with no gas fumes or extra noise. Every visit follows the same thorough process:

1

Full perimeter sweep — high and low

We treat a continuous band around the entire foundation: up high along eaves, soffits, window frames, and light fixtures where spiders build webs, and down low along the foundation line, siding base, and mulch beds where ticks and crawling insects travel.

2

Doorways & entry points

Every door, garage entry, and window is treated — the most common ways pests find their way inside.

3

Outdoor living spaces

Patios, decks, outdoor furniture, and play equipment — anywhere your family actually spends time — get treated too, not just the foundation line.

4

Interior spot treatment, as needed

If spiders or other pests have already made it inside, we spot-treat baseboards, corners, and other hiding spots on request.

The Products We Use

Professional-grade, not big-box store spray

We use two trusted, professional-only products — not the same watered-down sprays sold on the shelf at your local hardware store.

Syngenta

Demand® CS

9.7% lambda-cyhalothrin · iCAP microencapsulation

Demand CS uses Syngenta's iCAP technology — millions of tiny capsules of different sizes mixed into one spray. Smaller capsules break open fast for quick knockdown, while larger capsules release slowly over time, giving up to 90 days of residual protection from a single treatment.

  • Controls 30+ pests including ticks, spiders, ants, mosquitoes & fleas
  • Water-based, low odor formula
  • Long-lasting residual barrier
Bayer

Suspend® SC

4.75% deltamethrin · micro-crystal suspension

Suspend SC is a suspension concentrate that lays down pure deltamethrin micro-crystals on the surface, rather than soaking into it. It dries completely clear and odorless, and holds up for roughly three months of continuous protection.

  • Broad-spectrum control: spiders, ants, ticks, fleas & more
  • Odorless — dries clear, no residue
  • Approved for residential indoor & outdoor use

How these products actually work

Both Demand CS and Suspend SC are pyrethroids, a class of insecticide that targets the nervous system of insects specifically. On contact, they bind to sodium channels in an insect's nerve cells and hold them open — something that normally only happens for a split second during a nerve signal. That keeps the nerve firing uncontrollably, which leads to paralysis and death, usually within minutes to a few hours.

Insects are far more sensitive to this effect than people or pets, which is why pyrethroids are among the most widely used pest control products in homes across North America. Both products are registered for residential use, and treated surfaces are considered safe for kids and pets once the application has fully dried.

Tick Safety

Ticks are a bigger deal than most people realize

Tick populations in Ontario are growing — and so is the health risk that comes with them.

Why ticks are spreading

Longer, hotter summers and milder winters — driven by climate change — let ticks survive, reproduce, and spread further north than they ever could before. Areas of Southern Ontario that rarely saw ticks a decade ago now have established populations.

What Lyme disease looks like

Early symptoms often include a bullseye-shaped rash near the bite, along with fever, chills, headache, fatigue, and joint or muscle aches — though not everyone who's infected gets a visible rash. Caught early, Lyme disease is treatable with antibiotics, which is exactly why quick tick checks and removal matter.

The Lone Star tick & alpha-gal syndrome

The lone star tick isn't yet established in Ontario, but its range has been creeping north, with detections already reported in parts of Southern Ontario. Its bite can trigger alpha-gal syndrome — a delayed allergic reaction to red meat and other mammal products. Symptoms like hives, stomach pain, and in severe cases anaphylaxis, typically show up three to eight hours after eating meat, which makes the connection back to a tick bite easy to miss.

Reducing the tick population in your yard is one of the most effective ways to lower your family's exposure. That's exactly what a treated perimeter is built to do — targeting ticks where they live, before they ever reach you or your pets.
