As the warm months roll in across Canada, we all look forward to sunny days, BBQs, and long evenings outdoors. But summer doesn’t come alone it brings a surge of household pests that can quickly turn your home into a breeding ground for unwanted guests. Whether you’re dealing with buzzing, crawling, or biting bugs, these invaders can pose both health and structural risks.
Here are 10 of the most common summer insects found in Canadian homes — and how QAPC (Quality Affordable Pest Control), a proudly Canadian pest control company, can help you eliminate them effectively and affordably.
1. Ants
Ants are one of the most common summer insect infestations in Canadian homes, especially in kitchens and basements. Carpenter ants, in particular, are a concern as they can damage wood structures.
QAPC’s Solution:
We use eco-friendly, non-toxic bait and barrier methods that eliminate the entire colony, not just the ones you see.
2. Wasps
Nobody wants to deal with an aggressive wasp nest near the deck or patio. Wasps become especially active in late summer, and their stings can be dangerous.
QAPC’s Solution:
Our team offers safe wasp nest removal services using protective gear and advanced tools to keep your family safe.
3. Mosquitoes
These bloodsuckers breed in standing water and are not just annoying — they can carry viruses like West Nile.
QAPC’s Solution:
We provide seasonal mosquito control treatments that target breeding areas and keep your outdoor space bite-free.
4. Flies
From houseflies to cluster flies, these pests can multiply rapidly indoors and spread bacteria.
QAPC’s Solution:
We use integrated fly management that includes sanitation strategies, fly traps, and targeted insecticides.
5. Earwigs
While not dangerous, earwigs can be a creepy nuisance. They love dark, damp spaces like bathrooms and basements.
QAPC’s Solution:
Our experts seal entry points and apply moisture control solutions to make your home less inviting to them.
6. Spiders
Most common spiders in Canada are harmless, but their presence can be unsettling especially when they start appearing in webs all over your home.
QAPC’s Solution:
We offer professional spider control with indoor and outdoor treatments to prevent infestations.
7. Cockroaches
A single roach can signal a much larger infestation. They love warm, humid environments like your kitchen or bathroom.
QAPC’s Solution:
We use targeted baits and gels, combined with crack and crevice treatments, to eliminate roaches at their source.
8. Carpet Beetles
These beetles can destroy natural fabrics and are often mistaken for harmless bugs until the damage is done.
QAPC’s Solution:
Our pest control technicians identify the source and provide carpet beetle extermination services to protect your furniture and clothing.
9. Silverfish
These nocturnal insects love paper, glue, and damp places. They can often be found in basements and storage areas.
QAPC’s Solution:
We offer humidity control solutions and safe treatments to keep silverfish out of your home for good.
10. Fruit Flies
They might be small, but fruit flies can be a big headache in kitchens during the summer months.
QAPC’s Solution:
We combine sanitation education with targeted fruit fly traps to eliminate infestations quickly
