Tick Control in Mississauga
Mississauga's conservation areas, Credit River trails, and Rattray Marsh are established blacklegged tick habitats. BuzzSkito provides professional tick spray to protect your family from Lyme disease.
Why Tick Spray Is Crucial in Mississauga
Blacklegged ticks — the species that transmits Lyme disease — are well established in Mississauga's natural areas. The Credit River valley (from Streetsville through Port Credit), Rattray Marsh, Meadowvale Conservation Area, and Erindale Park are all confirmed tick habitat areas. Properties adjacent to these areas face meaningful annual tick exposure risk.
Ticks don't fly or jump — they wait at the tips of grasses and shrubs at the edges of lawns and wooded areas, attaching to people and pets as they pass. This means the tick risk zone is usually your own backyard, not the forest. Professional barrier spray applied to your property's high-risk zones is the most effective way to reduce that risk.

FAQ – Tick Spray in Mississauga
Where are ticks most common in Mississauga?
Ticks are concentrated in Mississauga's wooded and transitional areas: the Credit River valley and trail system, Rattray Marsh Conservation Area, Erindale Park, Meadowvale Conservation Area, and the forested edges of many neighbourhoods. Properties backing onto these areas have the highest tick exposure risk.
How often does Mississauga need tick treatment?
BuzzSkito recommends two treatments per season: one in late May or June targeting spring nymphs (the most dangerous stage for Lyme disease transmission), and one in August or September targeting adult fall ticks. Our treatments provide up to 30 days of protection each.
Do ticks really carry Lyme disease in Mississauga?
Yes. The blacklegged tick (Ixodes scapularis), which transmits Lyme disease, is established in Mississauga's Conservation Areas. Ontario public health data shows increasing Lyme disease cases in the GTA. Professional tick control significantly reduces your risk of exposure.
