How BuzzSkito Mosquito Control Works
Free Property Assessment
We evaluate your property — identifying water features, dense vegetation, and mosquito pressure zones specific to your area.
Professional Barrier Spray
Our licensed technician applies Health Canada-approved formula to all vegetation, shrub interiors, leaf undersides, and fence lines using a precision backpack sprayer.
30-Day Protection Guarantee
The barrier kills mosquitoes on contact and repels new ones for up to 30 days. If pests return within the window, we re-treat at no cost.
High Park's Exceptional Mosquito Pressure
Living near High Park means living next to Toronto's largest urban park — 161 hectares of forest, wetlands, and Grenadier Pond, a 7.5-hectare natural pond that is one of the city's most prolific mosquito breeding sites. The pond's extensive marginal vegetation, combined with the park's forested ravines and naturalized meadows, sustains enormous mosquito populations from April through September.
The Humber River corridor to the west adds a second major source. Its floodplain and riparian vegetation generate additional mosquito populations that overlap with park-sourced mosquitoes in the residential streets between. BuzzSkito's barrier spray creates a treated zone around your property — targeting all resting vegetation where these mosquitoes settle — typically reducing active presence by 80–95% within 24 hours.

Why Professional Treatment Outperforms DIY
Citronella candles, essential oil sprays, and consumer foggers provide temporary relief in a small radius — typically 30 minutes to 2 hours in the immediate area of use. Professional barrier spray treats every resting surface on your entire property, creating a residual barrier that kills mosquitoes on contact for up to 30 days. The difference is coverage and duration: DIY products address symptoms; barrier spray addresses the source of activity on your lot.

When to Start Treatment
In the GTA, mosquito season typically runs from late April through September. The best time to book your first treatment is early-to-mid May, before populations peak. Starting early establishes a protective barrier before breeding cycles accelerate in June and July. Read our full seasonal timing guide.

FAQ – Mosquito Control in High Park
Why is the High Park neighbourhood one of Toronto's worst areas for mosquitoes?
High Park — at 161 hectares — is the largest park in Toronto and contains Grenadier Pond, one of the city's most significant standing water bodies. The pond, combined with the park's extensive wetlands, forested ravines, and the nearby Humber River corridor, creates an enormous and permanent mosquito breeding zone. Properties bordering the park on all sides experience intense, season-long mosquito pressure that is among the highest in the city.
How does Grenadier Pond affect mosquito levels in surrounding homes?
Grenadier Pond is a 7.5-hectare natural pond with extensive marginal vegetation — precisely the type of still-water habitat where mosquitoes breed most prolifically. The pond sustains massive mosquito populations from April through September. Properties on Grenadier Heights, Ellis Park Road, and other streets west of the pond are particularly affected, but mosquitoes disperse up to 3 km from this source, reaching well into the surrounding residential grid.
How many treatments do High Park area homes need per season?
Properties directly adjacent to High Park or the Humber River typically need the full 5-treatment season program from May through September. The sheer scale of the nearby breeding habitat — Grenadier Pond, park wetlands, and Humber River combined — means consistent re-treatment is essential. Interior properties one or two blocks from the park edge may do well with 4 treatments. Call (289) 216-5030 for a free assessment.
Does the Humber River also contribute to mosquitoes in this area?
Yes. The Humber River runs along the western boundary of the broader High Park area and is one of Toronto's major mosquito corridors. Its floodplain, riparian vegetation, and pooling areas after rainfall events generate significant additional mosquito populations. Properties in the High Park and Swansea areas between the park and the river face pressure from both sources simultaneously.
Does BuzzSkito serve all of the High Park neighbourhood?
Yes. We serve all streets in the High Park area including Bloor West Village, Swansea, and the Humber River corridor. We also serve adjacent neighbourhoods. Call (289) 216-5030 to confirm service at your specific address.
