Ottawa Tick Control & Removal

The Health Risk: Lyme Disease in Ottawa

The most critical reason to control ticks is health. The Black-legged Tick (Deer Tick) is the primary carrier of Lyme Disease, a serious bacterial infection.

• Ticks tested in the Ottawa area carry the bacteria that causes Lyme Disease.
• Nymph-stage ticks (the size of a poppy seed) can easily go unnoticed on humans and pets until it is too late.
• Prevention is your best defense.

Know Your Enemy: How Ticks Hunt

Ticks do not jump or fly. They use a strategy called "questing" — climbing to the tips of tall grass and shrubs, extending their front legs, and waiting for a host to brush past.

Our Treatment Strategy: The Barrier Defense

We don't just spray the grass — we target the tick's habitat.

• The "Transition Zone" Treatment — Targeted residual barrier to the first 3-5 feet of brush, tall grass, and woods surrounding your property.
• Shady Areas — Under decks, around sheds, and beneath low-hanging trees.
• Leaf Litter — Thorough treatment of damp leaf coverage where ticks hide.
• Single Treatment — Perfect for special events. Provides immediate reduction for approximately 3-4 weeks.
• Seasonal Program (Recommended) — Spring (May-June) for nymphs, Summer (July-August) for maintained protection, Fall (September-November) for adult ticks.
