Lake Erie community at the base of Long Point Peninsula. Inner Bay of Long Point wetlands create very high mosquito production. Dock spider activity at inner bay waterfront structures. Very high tick risk — Long Point biosphere and forest have among Ontario's highest confirmed blacklegged tick density. This is one of the highest-risk tick exposure communities in the province.

**Dock spider:** Port Rowan waterfront properties have dock spider (Dolomedes) activity at dock structures and waterfront buildings. Dock spider treatment is available as part of a waterfront property treatment.

## Spider Pressure in Port Rowan

Spider pressure in Port Rowan follows Norfolk County patterns, with the most common species being house spiders, cellar spiders, and wolf spiders in residential settings. Orb weavers appear on exterior structures in late summer. Species specific to the local environment (waterfront areas, cottage properties, ravine adjacency) are noted above.

The dominant entry routes are foundation gaps, window frame weatherstripping, and garage door seals. Exterior perimeter treatment at these zones is the most effective way to reduce indoor spider pressure.
