Frequently asked questions: Courtice
Does Clarington regulate pests on private property?
Buildings must be kept free of rodents, vermin, insects and the presence of their nests, droppings and chew holes at all times, and extermination must follow the Pesticides Act with the owner responsible unless the lease says otherwise.
Are there natural ways to deter spiders?
Removing webs and egg sacs and cutting back vegetation against the house help, though they rarely clear an established problem. Dusting into wall voids and cracks, plus an exterior barrier, is what reaches the spiders you cannot see.
Why do I keep finding new spiders after cleaning?
Spiders follow the insects they eat, so reducing what gets in matters as much as removing webs. Monitors show whether activity continues.
