NEWMARKET — “Built on a River. Surrounded by It Ever Since.”
The Holland River brought Newmarket to life — and it’s been bringing pests along for the ride ever since. We treat houses, townhomes and condos from Davis Drive to Summerhill. Scroll down for what the water’s been carrying in.
What the Water Brought With It
Newmarket’s natural beauty has a cost — three pests that thrive specifically because of it.
🐭 #1 — Rodents: “The Riverside Tenant”
Pattern: Newmarket’s proximity to water sources like the Holland River makes mice and rats especially prevalent — they seek shelter in residential and commercial spaces, posing health risks and property damage.
Numbers: Rodents cause the most damage of any common Newmarket pest, targeting electrical wiring, drywall, shingles, insulation and personal belongings.
The fix: Full inspection and exclusion sealing that accounts for Newmarket’s water-table moisture, not just a generic bait-and-leave.
🐝 #2 — Wasps & Hornets: “The Deck Defender”
Pattern: Wasps and hornets build nests in quiet, sheltered areas — soffits, sheds, behind shutters, BBQ covers — and pose a serious threat in Newmarket’s summer months, from townhomes near Yonge Street to rural properties off Davis Drive.
Numbers: A consistent pattern of wasps flying in and out of one spot is the clearest sign a nest is already established nearby.
The fix: Safe nest removal from attic vents, decks, and sheds — without disturbing your family, pets, or the neighbours.
🐜 #3 — Carpenter Ants: “The Wooded Lot Specialist”
Pattern: Newmarket’s wooded areas and abundance of trees make it particularly susceptible to carpenter ant infestations — these ants burrow into wood and cause real structural damage over time.
Hotspots: Tree-lined residential streets throughout Newmarket’s established neighbourhoods.
The fix: Colony tracking to primary and satellite nests, with moisture-source identification to stop them coming back.
