As summer temperatures rise in Canada, many homeowners look forward to longer days, outdoor barbecues, and plenty of sunshine. Unfortunately, the warm weather also brings an increase in unwanted pests. Ants, spiders, and cockroaches are among the most common invaders during the summer months, making it essential to protect your home and family from infestations.
Warm weather provides the perfect conditions for pests to breed, feed, and search for shelter. Homes often become their target because they provide food, water, and cooler hiding spots away from the heat. Once these pests find a way inside, they can quickly multiply, making it difficult to control them without professional help.
Ants are small but can cause big problems in Canadian homes. During summer, they are constantly on the lookout for food and water. Leftover crumbs, sugary spills, or even pet food can attract entire colonies. While most ants are harmless, some species can contaminate food and spread bacteria.
Prevention Tip: Seal cracks around doors and windows, wipe down counters regularly, and store pantry items in airtight containers to reduce access to food sources.
Spiders are beneficial outdoors because they prey on other insects, but indoors, they can cause discomfort for homeowners. Summer is prime time for spiders to spin their webs in basements, attics, and dark corners. Although most Canadian spiders are not dangerous, their presence can still be unsettling.
Prevention Tip: Keep your home clutter-free, vacuum regularly, and ensure that screens on windows and doors are intact to block entry points.
Cockroaches are one of the most resilient pests and thrive in warm, humid environments. They are not just unsightly—they can spread bacteria and trigger allergies. Once established, cockroaches are extremely difficult to eliminate on your own.
Prevention Tip: Reduce moisture in your home by fixing leaky pipes, avoiding leaving dirty dishes overnight, and disposing of garbage frequently.
