More on spiders for Seaton homeowners
No, and this is worth saying plainly because it changes how you should approach treatment. Despite being unattractive, centipedes do not pose any real danger to humans, and neither centipedes nor millipedes are able to carry or spread diseases to plants, pets, or humans. Centipedes in Your Basement? Here's What They're Actually Telling You
Most companies spray the baseboards and leave. The wall voids are never touched, egg sacs are never located, and the insects the spiders were feeding on are never addressed, so two weeks later you're back to square one. Spiders in Your Home? Here's Why Spraying Baseboards Never Fixes It (An Ontario Exterminator Explains)
Quick tip: If you're catching more than one centipede a week in the same room, don't just kill it, check under sinks, near floor drains, and around the sump pit for standing moisture. That's almost always where the real activity is. Centipedes in Your Basement? Here's What They're Actually Telling You

Frequently asked questions: Seaton
Does Pickering regulate pests on private property?
A building must be kept free of rodents and vermin at all times, and extermination methods must follow all applicable legislation, including City by-laws.
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.
