Frequently asked questions: Schomberg
Does King regulate pests on private property?
Under King's Clean Yards By-law every person must ensure their land is free and clear of infestation, which the by-law defines as the overrunning of a property by vermin, rodents and insects.
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.
Do spiders come in more at certain times of year?
Health Canada says spiders look for warm places in the fall, and that is when more are seen indoors.
