## Pest Pressure in Lambton County

Lambton County has a distinctive geography shaped by Lake Huron, Lake St. Clair, the St. Clair River, and the expansive wetland and agricultural areas between them. Pest pressure is elevated throughout the county relative to inland urban Ontario.

**Sarnia and Point Edward:** Sarnia is Lambton's urban centre at the southern end of Lake Huron where it narrows into the St. Clair River. Urban residential spider activity is consistent — house spider and cellar spider in typical housing stock. The St. Clair River and adjacent waterfront areas contribute to elevated mosquito pressure in waterfront and near-waterfront properties. Point Edward on Lake Huron has direct shoreline exposure with associated dock spider and mosquito activity.

**St. Clair River corridor:** The St. Clair River runs from Sarnia to Lake St. Clair, forming the Ontario-Michigan border. River-adjacent communities have elevated mosquito pressure from floodplain and wetland areas. Dock spider activity at any St. Clair River waterfront structures.

**Lake Huron shoreline:** Lambton's Lake Huron exposure runs from Point Edward north toward Grand Bend. Beach communities (Ipperwash, Grand Bend, Kettle Point area) have seasonal resort character with significant mosquito pressure from adjacent wetlands and shoreline features.

**Ipperwash area (Kettle and Stony Point):** The Lake Huron shoreline north of Sarnia, including Ipperwash Beach and the Pinery Provincial Park corridor (which extends from Lambton into Huron County). The Pinery has confirmed blacklegged tick populations. Properties adjacent to the Pinery or in the shoreline natural area corridor have above-average tick exposure.

**Agricultural interior:** Lambton's interior (Petrolia, Forest, Wyoming, Plympton-Wyoming, Dawn-Euphemia) is agricultural — grain, corn, and historically oil-patch land (Petrolia was Ontario's first oil town). Agricultural-adjacent residential properties have elevated insect and spider pressure from field crops and associated insects. Rural residential properties throughout Lambton typically have higher spider counts than urban equivalents.

**Wetland areas:** Lambton has significant wetland in Dawn-Euphemia and along the Lake St. Clair shoreline. These areas drive high mosquito production and associated spider pressure.

## Tick Presence in Lambton

Lambton County's highest tick-risk areas are the Pinery Provincial Park corridor and the Lake Huron shoreline natural areas. The Pinery has documented blacklegged tick populations monitored by provincial parks. Lambton Public Health tracks tick presence in the county. Tick treatment is appropriate for properties adjacent to the Pinery, Ipperwash shoreline natural areas, and wooded rural properties throughout the county.
