Effective Insect Control in Ontario: Spiders, Cluster Flies, Boxelders, Wasps, Ants & More

Exterior Insect Spray Application

Did you know... that cluster flies—those slow, bumbling bugs you sometimes see around your windows—can hibernate inside your home’s walls all winter long? In Ontario, Canada, these pests sneak in during the fall and wait out the cold months, often going unnoticed until the weather warms and they suddenly appear…in droves.

That’s just one example of how nature’s smallest squatters make themselves at home—in your home.

At PPM, we specialize in targeted insect spray solutions made for homeowners who want effective control over nuisance bugs like spiders, boxelder bugs, cluster flies, wasps, Asian beetles, and ants. But before you spray, it helps to understand your enemy.

Why These Insects Invade Homes in Ontario

Each insect we target has a specific reason for crawling, buzzing, or flying into your space:

·       Spiders hunt other bugs and love hiding in dark corners, basements, and garages.

·       Boxelder bugs sneak in through siding and windows in the fall to stay warm.

·       Cluster flies (not to be confused with regular houseflies) breed outdoors but overwinter indoors.

·       Wasps build nests under eaves, in sheds, or even wall cavities.

·       Asian beetles cluster in sun-facing walls and attic spaces in the fall.

·       Ants are drawn to moisture, crumbs, and cozy floorboards.

Why DIY Solutions Often Fail

Sure, there are dozens of DIY sprays, traps, and “natural” remedies online. But most are either:

·       Too weak to handle real infestations

·       Temporary fixes that don’t treat the source

·       Or worse—filled with harsh chemicals that are unsafe for kids and pets

That’s why we developed an Exterior Insect Spray Program that uses a formulated application specifically for our Ontario climate and the insect patterns we see year after year. Our spray combines fast knockdown power with residual protection.

Pro Tips to Protect Your Home Today

·       Seal entry points: Check around windows, doors, soffits, and foundation cracks

·       Clean up clutter: Especially in basements and storage areas

·       Eliminate food and water sources: For both bugs and the spiders that feed on them

·       Spray preventatively: Treat entry points before peak seasons (spring and fall)
