One of the ways that Cottage Country Pest Control is different is in our approach to the lake. We live on the water. We care about the environment. And we will NOT risk damaging fish, wildlife or water quality by spraying over open water.
We will, however, ensure that your boathouse, marina and waterfront areas are treated for spiders... carefully and safely. We take the time to do things right.
Give us a call at (705)534-7863, or, if you're in the Peterborough area, you might prefer (705)742-6245.

And Another Question - Pets and Pest Control
The other question that people want to know the answer to is whether the products we use are safe for their pets (and kids, of course - but most of the people I have been talking to so far are living up here in cottage country and seem to have more pets than pes... kids).
You will - assuming that you have either (kids or critters) be happy to know that Cottage Country Pest Control makes very sure that the products we use are effective and safe.
We do ask that kids, critters, and anyone with health issues not be present while premises are being sprayed. For example, while spraying outside, we will ask that you keep any dogs inside. When doing interior work, if you will need to make arrangements for your kids and critters, we will make sure you know ahead of the time - and in most cases, that will be only for the length of time it takes to spray. Once it settles, everyone - four-footed or two - can return.
If you have questions about any aspect of the services we offer, please do give us a call, or email ccpestcontrol@gmail.com

How Many Sprays
Now that I am (pretty much) done school - for the time being - I have been manning the phones a fair bit.
Most frequent question, this week - after price, of course - is how many spider sprays are likely to be needed.
There is some variability in that. In normal years, anyway, "two or three" will often be enough to keep the spiders from taking up residence and ~decorating~ for you... this year, because of the mild winter and very early spring, it is more likely to be three, or even four.
Seasonal discounts are available; give us a call.
And really, don't wait. It is far preferable to treat before the spiders get well established and make a mess. You get better results.
Call us at (705)534-7863, or if you are in the Peterborough area, (705)742-6245.
Or you can always reach us by email: ccpestcontrol@gmail.com

Bugs Bugs Bugs
Wow!
I happened to look out my kitchen window this afternoon and noticed all sorts of little bugs flying around.
They really ARE early this year, aren't they?!
I have been seeing spiders already too - although not 'round my house, of course.
It's rather odd being married to a pest control guy. Me I always used to just relocate spiders that wandered into my house. Now I never have any!
I like spiders - well, their webs, anyway. Not the ones that make the outside of your house look messy and dirty - but the ones that collect the dew and look SO beautiful in the sun.
'Course, I didn't used to live on the water, either - on waterfront properties the spiders DO make a heck of a mess... not the same thing at all.
ANYWAY.... as I was saying... I think? ... the critters are starting early this year... call us now to arrange your spider spray package.
(705)534-7863 .. or better yet, email us at ccpestcontrol@gmail.com

Bats in the Belfry?
... or in the attic? Or anyplace else you don't want them?
If you had bats inside last year, now is the time to think about addressing the problem BEFORE the bats return from their winter get-aways. And they WILL come back - bats are territorial; once they have a good place to live, they will return to it as long as they are able.
It is much easier to prevent bats from getting in - redirecting them to well-placed, seasoned bat boxes - rather than having to evict them once they take up residence.
To arrange a site visit & estimate, give us a call at (705)534-7863 (Midland, Barrie, Honey Harbour, Muskoka.....) or (705)741-6245 (Peterborough/Kawarthas)
Services include bat removal and exclusion; guano clean up (+ deoderize & disinfect the area) - all with a one year guarantee.
We also provide seasoned bat boxes.

Time to think about spider sprays
If you are in the habit of waiting until the spiders are well established and THEN calling for a spider spray, it is time to think about a different approach.
Spraying before they become well established keeps your property from getting covered with unsightly webs; it manages spider populations before they can lay millions of eggs, and will improve the efficiency of the spray, too.
If there aren't as many spiders to lay eggs in the first place, you won't have as many around all summer, and that often means you save money by not needing as many visits.
Give us a call at (705)534-7863 (Midland and Barrie area) or (705)74-6245 (Peterborough), or email ccpestcontrol@gmail.com to arrange your spring spider spray.

Spring!
Guess what I saw today?! A spider - out building a web already!
Which reminded me about the CBC radio interview I heard a few days ago.... they were talking to a weather guy, and he was saying that because we had such a mild winter, the bugs had an easy winter, and would likely be a royal pain this spring: more of them, much earlier than we are used to in Ontario.
Isn't that good news?!
Well, okay... maybe not for you, if you're stopping by this blog... sorry about that. But it is very good news for me. I need hubby to be out working more... not for the $$, although of course I like that too... but mostly, it is that I am absolutely positively SWAMPED with school work right now, and the busier he is, the more writing I get done.
So...give him a call to handle all of your spider, fly, bat, ant, bedbug, roach, mice or other nasty critter problems.
If you are in the Barrie, Midland, Orillia area, call Cottage Country Pest Control at (705)534-7863.
In Peterborough, Lindsay, Kawarthas area, call (705)641-6245. We still split our time between the 2 areas, so you may need to leave a message; we will get back to you.
Or, for a quicker response, send us an email. And remember, the earlier you treat, the easier (and therefore cheaper) it is.
