Pest Control In St. Catharines
St. Catharines is the largest city in Niagara, with more than 136,000 residents, and it is known as the Garden City for its parks, gardens and more than 90 kilometres of trails. The city runs from the Lake Ontario shoreline at Port Dalhousie south to the Niagara Escarpment, with Twelve Mile Creek winding through it and the Welland Canal entering from the lake. Neighbourhoods like Port Dalhousie, Merritton, Grantham, Western Hill and Glenridge each have their own mix of homes, rentals and businesses, and Ridge Pest Control serves all of them.
Common Pest Issues In St. Catharines
The lakeshore and creek corridors keep spider activity high from spring through fall, especially on homes near the water. Mice move indoors as the weather cools, and older housing gives them plenty of entry points. In apartments, student rentals and other multi unit buildings, bed bugs and cockroaches can spread between units, which makes a proper inspection and follow up visits important. Wasps nest in eaves and fences through late summer, and the city's parks and green corridors bring ants and other crawling insects right up to the foundation.
Blacklegged ticks have spread across the Niagara region, so yards that border trails, ravines or tall grass are worth a closer look.
