Our Method
Since every spider situation is unique, we’ll come up with a custom solution for you. With over 10 years of experience spraying for spiders, we’re Ontario‘s leading provider of spider control services. Learn how we keep spiders (and other common household pests) out of your home:
We’ll perform a walk-through around your home, checking entryways and hotspots for signals of spider activity. If you have an active infestation, we’ll begin eliminating spiders during this initial visit.
We’ll begin by reducing favorable spider conditions. This includes, but is not limited to, decluttering your yard and crawl space, and removing any ground covers against your walls. We’ll sweep the perimeter of your home (windows, doors, utility boxes, etc.).
If spiders are coming indoors hunting for prey, we’ll carefully apply a residual insecticide around all entry points and the perimeter of your home. We’ll also spray along baseboards, in corners, and under furniture. These two treatments keep spiders where they belong… outdoors.
If you’re dealing with a large spider problem, we’ll also apply insecticide dust in your attic, between your wall voids, and under your baseboards. We use a cobweb duster head to brush the dust into hard-to-reach areas like the corners of your basement, garage, and porch to ensure full coverage.
Finally, we’ll use glue boards to catch spiders and monitor the population. We’ll place these in hotspots and areas of activity. This step allows us to ensure your spider control program is effective and make adjustments as needed. Our goal is to keep your family safe and your home spider-free!

Pest Control in Ottawa
Ottawa’s size and range of property environments mean spider activity does not follow one citywide pattern. An established Nepean home may develop recurring webs around basement windows and mature landscaping, while a newer Barrhaven or Riverside South property may experience activity around porch lights, attached garages, doors, and exterior building edges.
Natural surroundings also vary considerably. Ottawa operates more than 1,300 park sites covering roughly 4,300 hectares, and major river systems run through the urban area. Properties near vegetation, waterways, parks, ravines, and other natural corridors can therefore have different exterior conditions from properties in denser developed areas.
Mosquito Man begins with a site inspection to identify entry points and spider hotspots. Accessible web removal, targeted liquid treatment, dusting where appropriate, and monitoring can then focus on the locations where activity is occurring.
Step 1
Accessible interior and exterior areas are checked for active spiders, fresh webbing, egg sacs, likely entry points, protected harbourage, and recurring hotspots.
Inspection can include windows, doors, soffits, eaves, porches, decks, garages, basement windows, foundations, exterior lighting, utility openings, and other areas where spider activity has been noticed.
Step 2
Existing accessible webbing is cleared from relevant treatment areas.
Clutter, vegetation touching the structure, ground cover against walls, stored materials, and other conditions that provide protected spider habitat can also be identified. Reducing these conditions complements treatment of active and recurring hotspots.
Step 3
Where appropriate, residual treatment is applied around entry points and structural areas where spiders are active.
Potential treatment locations include windows, doors, cracks, crevices, soffits, eaves, foundations, porches, decks, garages, baseboards, corners, and other areas identified during inspection.
Step 4
For suitable concealed or hard-to-reach areas, dust treatment can supplement the liquid application.
Potential locations include attic spaces, wall voids, baseboard gaps, basement corners, garage areas, porches, and other protected structural spaces where spider activity has been identified.
Monitoring can be used in hotspots and areas of recurring activity.
This helps determine whether spider activity continues after treatment and allows the control program to be adjusted according to where spiders remain active.
Cold exterior conditions make protected indoor and structural locations more relevant for spider activity.
Warming weather begins increasing insect and spider activity around basement windows, foundations, entrances, garages, utility openings, and sunny exterior surfaces.
Exterior insect activity and web-building increase around porches, decks, exterior lights, windows, soffits, garages, vegetation, and building edges.
Outdoor activity can remain noticeable while protected structural spaces become increasingly important around entrances, garages, basement windows, foundations, utility openings, and sheltered corners.
Exterior activity declines as colder conditions return, making basements, garages, storage areas, utility spaces, and other protected locations increasingly relevant.
Ottawa’s seasonal spider pattern is influenced by pronounced temperature changes as well as extensive green space and waterways. With roughly 4,300 hectares of municipal parkland and major river and creek corridors crossing the city, many neighbourhoods sit close to vegetation and insect habitat. Warmer months can increase activity around exterior lights, decks, porches, windows, garages, and landscaping, while colder conditions make basements, garages, utility areas, and other sheltered spaces increasingly important.
Ottawa covers a large geographic area with established urban neighbourhoods, rapidly growing suburbs, river-area communities, Greenbelt-adjacent properties, and rural surroundings. Spider-control priorities should therefore reflect the individual property setting.
These examples demonstrate how spider-control planning can change according to property setting. They are illustrative situations rather than actual customer case studies.
“Ottawa properties range from newer suburban homes to mature neighbourhoods and rural residences near extensive green space. Spider activity can therefore be concentrated around very different parts of a property. Identifying those repeat locations first lets us focus treatment where it is actually needed.”

Mosquito Man has an Ottawa service location in Nepean and provides spider control across surrounding Ottawa communities.
Entry points, active spider areas, webbing, and recurring hotspots are identified before treatment priorities are established.
Treatment can be adapted to suburban homes, established neighbourhood properties, rural residences, multi-unit buildings, and commercial sites.
Existing webbing can be cleared from relevant treatment areas before attention shifts to recurring activity locations.
Appropriate windows, doors, cracks, soffits, eaves, foundations, porches, decks, garages, and other active areas can receive treatment.
Dusting can be used where appropriate in attic spaces, wall voids, baseboard gaps, basement corners, garages, and other protected spaces.
Active locations can be monitored to evaluate whether spider activity continues after treatment.
Treatment priorities can shift between exterior web-building during warmer months and protected structural spaces during Ottawa's colder periods.
Ottawa's extensive parkland, rivers, creeks, mature neighbourhoods, Greenbelt areas, and rural surroundings can be considered when evaluating spider activity.
Mosquito Man provides professional spider control for residential properties throughout Ottawa.
The company’s spider-control method includes site inspection, sanitation and accessible web removal, liquid treatment, dusting treatment where appropriate, and monitoring. Treatment is customized according to the spider situation and property conditions.
Ottawa service is supported from Mosquito Man’s Nepean location, with local pest-control service available for Barrhaven and surrounding Ottawa communities.
