How BuzzSkito Tick Control Works
Property Tick Assessment
We identify tick habitat zones — Escarpment edges, lawn-to-woods transitions, leaf litter, garden borders, and fence lines on your Burlington property.
Targeted Barrier Spray
Our licensed technician applies Health Canada-approved formula to the specific 1-3 metre zones where ticks concentrate — precision treatment, not broadcast spraying.
30-Day Protection
The residual formula kills ticks on contact and creates a barrier for up to 30 days. If ticks return within the window, we re-treat at no cost.
Tick Control Is No Longer Optional in Burlington
Burlington sits at the base of the Niagara Escarpment — one of Ontario's most significant tick habitat corridors. The Royal Botanical Gardens, Cootes Paradise, Spencer Creek valley, and Bronte Creek all serve as reservoirs for blacklegged ticks that spill into adjacent residential properties throughout the season.
BuzzSkito's tick treatment is specifically designed for the Burlington environment, targeting the lawn edges, shaded garden areas, and wood-edge transition zones where ticks concentrate on residential properties.

FAQ – Tick Spray in Burlington
How much does tick spray cost in Burlington?
Tick spray in Burlington starts from $99 per application. Properties near Bronte Creek Provincial Park, the Royal Botanical Gardens, or any conservation land boundary benefit most from both spring and fall treatments. No contracts. Call (289) 216-5030.
Does the Niagara Escarpment increase tick risk in Burlington?
Yes. The Niagara Escarpment and the greenbelt corridors that run through Burlington — including Spencer Creek Valley, Bronte Creek, and the Royal Botanical Gardens — are all established tick habitat. Properties near these areas, particularly in Headon Forest, Tyandaga, and Waterdown, have elevated tick risk.
Is tick control worth it in Burlington for families without pets?
Absolutely. While pets are a common vector for bringing ticks onto your property, people are equally at risk. Children playing in the backyard, adults gardening, and anyone who spends time in a yard adjacent to naturalized areas is at risk for tick bites and Lyme disease exposure.
What tick species are found in Burlington?
The blacklegged tick (deer tick) is the primary concern — it transmits Lyme disease and is established along the Escarpment, Bronte Creek, and Royal Botanical Gardens. American dog ticks are also common but rarely carry Lyme. Blacklegged tick nymphs are poppy-seed-sized and responsible for most Lyme transmissions.
How does professional tick spray work?
We apply a residual barrier to specific micro-habitats where ticks concentrate: the 1-3 metre transition zone between lawn and natural vegetation, garden bed edges, leaf litter, woodpiles, fence lines, and under decks. The formula kills ticks on contact and provides up to 30 days of protection.
Is tick spray safe for my family and pets?
Yes. Our Health Canada-approved formula is safe for children and pets once dry — approximately 30 minutes. We apply to vegetation where ticks rest, not to grass or play areas. After the drying window, your yard is fully safe.
When should Burlington homeowners schedule tick treatment?
We recommend spring treatment (late May/early June) targeting nymphs — the most dangerous stage — and fall treatment (August/September) for adult ticks. Properties near the Escarpment or RBG may benefit from a third mid-summer treatment.
Does BuzzSkito also do mosquito control in Burlington?
Yes. Most Burlington homeowners bundle tick and mosquito control — same visit, same vegetation surfaces. See our Burlington mosquito spray service for details.
