Ticks are spreading across Ontario
Blacklegged ticks, the ticks that can carry Lyme disease, have spread steadily across Ontario, and Public Health Ontario tracks a growing list of risk areas. Wooded lots, tall grass, cottage properties and trails around Simcoe County and the GTA all see tick activity from spring to late fall.
Mosquitoes breed in any standing water and rest in shady shrubs and long grass, which makes backyards, decks and patios miserable on summer evenings.
A seasonal program reduces both, using methods and products that comply with Ontario’s pesticide rules, combined with simple changes that make your yard less attractive to them.

Mosquito & Tick Control questions
When should I start mosquito and tick treatment?
Spring, once temperatures warm up. Ticks become active early, often in April, and mosquito numbers build through June and July.
Is it safe for kids and pets?
We use methods and products permitted under Ontario rules, apply them only where needed, and tell you when treated areas are safe to use again.
Can you treat before a wedding, party or event?
Yes. One-time event treatments are timed a day or two before your event.
Do you treat cottages?
Yes. We service cottages and seasonal properties around Barrie, Innisfil, Orillia and Simcoe County.
