Effective treatment strategies begin with understanding how Seasonal Weather Changes, Pest Life Cycles, and Environmental Shifts affect pest pressure at your home.
Pest Life Cycles
Egg Stage Immunity
One of the main reasons pests keep returning is due to their eggs being resistant to many treatments. These resilient eggs can survive through various pest control methods, allowing the next generation to hatch and continue the infestation.
Insect Life Cycles
Many pests go through multiple life cycles each year, which contributes to their persistence. This ongoing cycle of hatching and reproduction means that a single treatment or seasonal approach is often not enough to keep pests away throughout the year. Regular and thorough treatments are essential to break the life cycle and maintain a pest-free environment.
Environmental Shifts
Rarely are you and your neighbors yards the same year in and year out. From yard renovations, to adding fruit trees, to piled up wood, to accumulating debris, a pests environment is constantly changing. Pests are survivalists, these changes create new foraging and harboring opportunities that increase activity when no activity has been experienced in the past.
Partner that with the diverse climate found in most areas of Canada and you have a breeding ground for a pest nemesis that finds new homes, speeds up life cycles, and forces relocation. Giving you a blind confidence thinking they’re gone when they’re just regrouping somewhere else.
Seasonal Weather Changes
Canada experiences true seasonal weather changes that drastically affect pest behavior, this results in you experiencing pest pressure in different ways throughout the year.
- Heat of the summer puts stinging insects on the hunt for moisture, they become extremely aggressive. Hot weather speeds up ant life cycles, doubling populations with most queen ants laying eggs daily.
- Rain, sun, rain is the perfect environment for mosquito breeding, they require standing water to complete their life cycle and often find this in your yard in gutters, toys, and playground sets.
- As winter approaches rodents and spiders begin to find areas to “den up” and lay egg sacs. Attics, furnace rooms, under sinks and fireplaces are common areas these pests build their home in your home.

The Avayda Treatment Process
Our Season Tailored Treatments
DISRUPT
Timing:
Your Disrupt treatment is the very first Avayda treatment that your property will receive. Ideally this happens within hours or a few days after a consultation with our sales and routing specialists.
Process:
Our service Pros will apply the Avayda Process steps 1-7 (Step 6 and 7 depending on plan chosen). We will identify key recommendations that will help us work in tandem with you as a team to limit the pest pressure experienced on your property.
Why:
All pest activity occurring in or around your home will be identified and treated. This “DISRUPTS” all nesting, breeding, travelling, and feeding grounds that have been established or are being established. Your Disrupt treatment begins the crucial steps of taking control of the pest activity on your property.
Your Disrupt treatment will knockdown the adult, larvae, and pupa stages in the insect life cycle, however anything in the egg stage of the lifecycle is immune to all treatments so the need for your follow up CONTROL treatment is extremely important.
Expectations:
You will likely see increased pest activity for a few days after the Disrupt treatment. This is normal, as the treatment has disrupted their entire environment, the treatment is designed to have a residual that will be effective for multiple weeks and will achieve its effectiveness over that time as well as limit new pest activity from being established.
CONTROL
Timing:
Your CONTROL treatments occurs 120 days after your Disrupt treatment AND on your tri-annual schedule when the schedule lands in the spring, fall and summer months.
Process:
Our Service Pros will apply the Avayda process steps 1-4 (step 5 on request or when observation reveals a need).
We will identify any new key recommendations as well as follow up with previous recommendations that will help us work in tandem with you as a team to limit the pest pressure experienced on your property.
Why:
Your control treatment will allow for us to remove the larvae, pupa, and adult insects that were in their egg stage on your disrupt treatment. All other control treatments that land in the spring, summer, or fall are designed to ensure that no new pest activity has become stablished, this maintains CONTROL of all pest activity before it reaches a serious level of concern.
Expectations:
A week after your control treatment you should experience very little to no pest pressure on your property.
Due to factors such as seasonality, environments colliding egg stage immunity and multiple generations it is impossible to remove every pest living inside and outside of your home, but you will notice a tremendous difference, if not then we are here for you on our Avayda Promise.
MAINTAIN
Timing:
Your Maintain treatment occurs one time per year on your Tri-annual schedule when the schedule lands on a colder winter month.
Process:
Our Service Pros will apply the Avayda process steps 1-6 with a variation on steps 3 and 4 when the weather is in freezing temperatures. Our Service Pros focus will be on handling any interior rodent activity you may be experiencing, as well as exterior bait station monitoring. There will be a focus on light exclusion work to ensure that gaps, cracks, and crevices leading into your home are sealed and treated.
The Avayda Process will identify any new key recommendations as well as follow up with previous recommendations that will help us work in tandem with you as a team to limit the pest pressure experienced on your property.
Why:
Contrary to popular belief, pests do not disappear in the winter. You may not see them out foraging for food or establishing living arrangements, but they are still very much alive and present on your property. Cold winter weather does not affect wall dwelling pests like carpenter ants, cockroaches, and earwigs. The carpenter ant will destroy wood internally all winter long as they bud and continue to excavate galleries for their nesting areas. The cockroach is one of the planets most resilient species, they hide during the day behind kitchen units and emerge at night feeding on anything left in the sink and countertops.
Attics provide winter shelter for spiders. They lay their eggs in a silk sac in the fall, hidden in a web in undisturbed locations. Attics are the perfect harbourage location for roof rats, the insulation provides excellent nesting during winter months. They enter through damaged eaves and vent openings.
During the winter, mice and Norway rats move closer to the foundation of structures looking for shelter, food, and water. They do not hibernate in the winter. They will enter through any gaps, cracks, and crevices no wider than a dime’s width. Winter rodent control is extremely important due to how quickly these species breed.
Your Maintain treatment on a cold winter month is critical in successfully limiting pest pressure you experience in your home year-round.
Expectations:
We focus on rodent control through light exclusion work and bait station monitoring, crack, and crevice treatments as well as any interior concerns you may have.
REPEL
Timing:
Your Repel treatments occur every 30-45 days during the summer months of June to August. One of the summer months your Control and Repel treatments will take place at the same time.
Process:
Your Service Pro will treat both the front and the back yard for mosquitos and ticks. This treatment is applied to the entire yard in all areas such as the grass yard, shrubs, small trees, and under decks.
The Avayda Process will identify key recommendations that will help us work in tandem with you as a team to get rid of mosquito activity. The recommendations will be to remove any standing water on your property as mosquitoes need water to lay their eggs in and complete their 21-day life cycle.
Why:
The repel treatment is an all-natural garlic-based treatment that effectively repels mosquitoes and ticks.
Since mosquitoes are soft bodied insects, the treatment can be very toxic to them. Mosquitoes can detect odour as much as 10,000 times better than a human. The odour of garlic repels them for as long as they can detect that odour. The treatment does not harm humans, pets, or plants. The treatment is known to effectively repel most insects but has been designed and scientifically proven to work on mosquitoes and ticks.
Expectations:
Due to mosquitos being airborne and not being in control of the surrounding properties, we cannot guarantee that you will never see a mosquito in your yard. What we do guarantee is that you will experience at minimum an 80% reduction in mosquito activity. We are confident that you will notice a massive difference in your ability to enjoy your back yard with little to no worry of tick and mosquitoes being in your way.
