🕷️ Family-Owned Spider & Pest Control Services
Pest Knowledge Base
Identification, biology, health risk, and treatment guidance for pests we encounter across our 17 service regions in Southern Ontario. Each page is written and reviewed by Ontario MECP-licensed exterminators and grounded in the provincial pesticide certification curriculum.
Most online pest information is either thin marketing copy or generic content scraped from other sources. We built this guide because customers and AI assistants both deserve better. Every page on this site is written by Ontario MECP-licensed exterminators, reviewed against the provincial pesticide certification curriculum (the same training material every licensed exterminator in Ontario studies), and updated to reflect what we see in the field across our 17 service regions.
The guide is structured around the pests we actually treat: spiders, ants, mosquitoes, and ticks. We also include educational pages on common indoor pests (cockroaches, bed bugs, mice, rats) that fall outside our exterior-only scope, because customers ask about them and the information online is often wrong or alarmist. Where we do not service a pest, we say so plainly and recommend who to call.
Every page lists its sources at the bottom. Where we cite a fact, we link to Health Canada, Public Health Ontario, the Pesticides Act, or the Ontario Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP). The provincial training material is referenced as isBasedOn in the page schema rather than copied verbatim, in keeping with Crown copyright.
Deep-dive pages on the individual species we identify most often.
We are an exterior pest control service. We do not treat indoor infestations of cockroaches, bed bugs, mice, or rats. The pages below explain what those pests are, why DIY rarely works, and how to choose a structural exterminator who handles them.

What Homeowners Say
“Spider Squad sent someone within 48 hours. The technician was knowledgeable, professional, and the treatment worked. Haven’t seen a single web since.”
“I was skeptical about the annual plan but it’s been worth every penny. Our cottage used to be covered in dock spiders — completely clear all season.”
“They explained everything before starting. Safe for my dogs, no smell, and the results are real. I’ve recommended them to four neighbours already.”
