what we offer
Outdoor Tick Control
Get 2 scheduled tick-control treatments every 90 days. We target leaf litter, shaded landscaping, fence lines and other areas where ticks may wait for people and pets.
Our Method
We take a unique approach to tick control. We arrive to your property and do a perimter spray around the yard, gardens, patios and/or anywhere else that we may find ticks located. Every time you cut your grass or trim your trees, the product we applied disappears. Also, extended periods of rainfall lower the efficacy of the product. Therefore, treating your yard once a year is enough to significantly reduce the tick population in your yard. Learn more about our approach.
A trained specialist will perform an inspection to examine the size of your yard and the density of your foliage through seeing your property on google earth. This step will help us set a final price!
Upon arrival, your technician will also look for signs of ticks or mosquitoes and identify potential breeding grounds.
Your technician will then safely treat your entire yard with a tick treatment, targeting trees, bushes, shrubs, and other heavily wooded areas. We’ll then return between Spring and Fall to inspect and treat your yard once again.

Pest Control in Scarborough
Ticks are blood-feeding arachnids that may attach to people and animals passing through vegetation. They commonly inhabit areas where shade and moisture help them survive, including leaf litter, shrubs, tall grass, and wooded edges.
Blacklegged ticks are an important concern in Ontario because infected ticks can transmit the bacteria responsible for Lyme disease. Not every tick is infected, and professional yard treatment cannot eliminate every possibility of exposure.
Scarborough contains established residential neighbourhoods alongside ravines, parks, wooded corridors, and Lake Ontario shoreline communities. Properties bordering natural areas may have vegetation and wildlife activity that contribute to suitable tick habitat.
Mosquito Man’s Scarborough treatment approach begins with an assessment of yard size and foliage density. Upon arrival, the technician inspects the property for signs of ticks and identifies suitable treatment areas.
Exterior treatment may cover the property perimeter, gardens, patios, trees, bushes, shrubs, and heavily wooded areas. Treatment performance depends on the selected product, rainfall, vegetation maintenance, and property conditions.
Professional tick control should be combined with personal prevention measures, including regular tick checks after outdoor activities and veterinarian-recommended protection for pets.
Step 1
A specialist reviews the property’s size, outdoor layout, and foliage density to help determine the treatment requirements.
The assessment considers gardens, patios, shrubs, wooded edges, and other areas that may require attention.
Step 2
Upon arrival, the technician examines suitable outdoor locations for signs of tick activity and conditions that may support ticks.
Particular attention is given to shaded vegetation, leaf litter, garden borders, and transitions between lawns and wooded areas.
Step 3
The technician identifies appropriate treatment locations based on the inspection findings, yard size, vegetation, and accessibility.
The plan also considers weather conditions and preparation requirements.
Step 4
The technician applies treatment to suitable outdoor locations, including identified perimeter and landscaping areas.
Applications may target trees, bushes, shrubs, gardens, patios, and heavily wooded sections of the property, following product-label directions and safety instructions.
The technician provides guidance on the recommended treatment schedule and any applicable follow-up service.
Homeowners also receive recommendations for vegetation maintenance, leaf-litter removal, personal tick checks, and monitoring between visits.
Continue tick awareness during outdoor activities and inspect sheltered vegetation where appropriate.
Check leaf litter, wooded edges, shrubs, and shaded garden borders.
Monitor lawns, pathways, garden edges, and areas used by children and pets.
Maintain grass, manage overgrowth, and inspect shaded landscaping.
Check wooded edges, leaf-covered areas, fence lines, and walking routes.
Continue tick checks after outdoor activities during mild periods.
In Scarborough, tick prevention should extend beyond the summer months. Temperature, moisture, species, and life stage influence activity. Autumn and mild winter conditions can still provide opportunities for tick exposure, particularly around wooded and leaf-covered areas.
Mosquito Man provides tick control for eligible Scarborough properties. Treatment planning reflects the yard’s layout, vegetation, accessibility, and proximity to natural areas.
Service availability and treatment coverage should be confirmed using the property’s address or postal code.

“Scarborough properties often combine residential landscaping with wooded areas, ravines, and mature vegetation. We assess each yard to identify potential tick hotspots, then apply targeted exterior treatment to suitable locations. We also encourage homeowners to maintain vegetation and continue checking themselves and their pets for ticks after outdoor activities.”
