Common Spiders in Toronto

10/23/2019

 
Wolf Spider - GTA Toronto Pest ControlWolf Spider by Judy Gallagher [CC BY 2.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0)] https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c8/ Wolf_Spider_-_Tigrosa_helluo%2C_Meadowood_Farm_SRMA%2C_Mas on_Neck%2C_Virginia.jpg
​Throughout the world there are over 42,000 identified species of spiders, and scientists estimate that there may be 40,000-100,000 more species that are not identified. That may be terrifying for people with a fear of spiders (arachnophobia), but spiders are actually great for the ecosystem. In Toronto alone, spiders eat nearly 12 million kg of insects every year. The following are some of the common spider species in Toronto.

Wolf Spiders (hogna helluo or tigrosa helluo)
Wolf spiders are hunters. They do not make webs, but instead run down or wait for their prey. They are strong and agile with very good eyesight. Wolf spiders are brown in color with a well defined stripe that runs from the middle of their eyes to their abdomen. The underside of the cephalothorax is black, while the underside of their abdomen may have lighter patches. Wolf spiders are great for eating garden pests, like aphids.

​​Seal the Exterior of Your Home

Sealing your home is an excellent way to prevent spiders and many other pests from entering. Spiders can get through very tiny openings, so even small cracks and gaps should be sealed. Use caulk on these small crevices, and expandable spray foam can be used to fill larger holes. It is also important to check that all your doors and windows have a tight seal with intact weather stripping. If the screens have holes or tears, they should be replaced or repaired.

​The majority of pest problems begin when pests enter homes in search of food, water, and shelter. Just like us, rodents, spiders, and insects will seek out a warm, safe environment that provides for their needs. Unfortunately, our homes are a perfect fit. If you want to keep these pests from coming into your home, there are often repairs and improvements that need to be done to the exterior of the building to prevent access. These are known as exclusion efforts. Start these exclusion efforts by learning how to seal the exterior of your home.

Time For A Pest Control Overview

10/3/2018

 
Picture
​Pest control companies are fairly widespread and available.  There are so many that there obviously must be a need for them.  The fact is, there is a strong need for them.  With health hazards and potential destruction caused by pests, there needs to be an equalizing force that contends with infestations and insect and rodent problems.  No matter the pest, once indoors, most can spread bacteria and disease as they crawl through your cupboards, on countertops and over floors where feces and urine left behind can harm anyone, especially children as they roll around...

Worst Pest Problems in Southern Ontario Right Now

Ants and mice infestation in Toronto and southern ontario
​In the past couple of years, bed bugs and carpenter ants have proven to be the worst pests creating problems for Toronto and area residents and business owners.  Canada's bed bug problem has been worsening since 2013 and they are multiplying in Canadian cities and communities across the country. According to Global news, pest control experts claim frequency of bed bug reports has shot up 20 per cent from 2013 to 2014 and it continues to happen currently at that rate.  These parasites are aggressive reproducing monsters; they continue to reach farther and wider.  And there is no indication that the spread and increase in incidents will slow down.
