Tick Prevention & Safety
Blacklegged ticks spreading Lyme disease in Ontario. Discover how Spider Squad's perimeter tick treatments and yard management protect dogs and families.
To protect your yard and pets from ticks in Ontario, establish a 3-foot gravel or woodchip barrier between lawn and wooded edges, keep grass cut short, and apply a professional perimeter tick spray to low brush, leaf litter zones, and shaded property edges in spring and autumn.
Ontario has seen an explosive northward expansion of blacklegged ticks (Ixodes scapularis), the primary vector of Lyme disease. Ticks cannot jump or fly; they 'quest' on tall grass blades and low shrubs waiting for a passing dog or human to brush against them.
Most suburban yard tick encounters happen within 10 feet of wooded property lines, rock walls, and ornamental brush beds.
Targeting the crucial 10–20 foot transition zone between your lawn and wild brush or woodlots.
Treating moist soil and leaf litter where nymphal ticks survive during hot summer dry spells.
Combines perfectly with your veterinarian-prescribed tick pills or topical collars for 100% defense.
Eliminate brush piles and fallen leaves along fence lines, rake playground areas away from dense woods, and discourage deer and rodents (tick hosts) by planting deer-resistant shrubs and elevating firewood piles.
