Mosquito Control in Richmond Hill

Richmond Hill sits right on the Oak Ridges Moraine, and that moraine is one of the most productive wildlife habitats in southern Ontario. The conservation land north of the city supports raccoon, skunk, and coyote populations that spill south into Oak Ridges and Jefferson every night. Richvale's older brick homes in the town's historic core have mortar joints that started cracking 30 years ago — mice use the same entry points season after season, and many homeowners have been fighting the same battle since they moved in. Mill Pond Park sits in the middle of Richmond Hill like a wildlife island, surrounded by residential streets and packed with raccoons. The newer homes in Bayview Hill and Elgin Mills are settling on former farmland, and the foundation gaps that open up in the first two winters are all a mouse needs. Yonge Street's growing condo and townhome corridor is introducing bed bug and cockroach problems to a town that barely dealt with them a decade ago.
