Insect Control in Fort McMurray
Spiders and insects often become active around the exterior of homes in spring and summer, seeking shelter in cracks, corners, siding, and window frames. While most outdoor insects are harmless, they can quickly multiply or move indoors if left untreated.
At Grass Doctor, we specialize in exterior perimeter pest treatments designed for Fort McMurray’s climate. Our technicians inspect your home’s exterior to identify problem areas, then apply professional-grade insect control products that eliminate existing pests and prevent new infestations — all without harming your lawn or garden.
