Ethan BrownLet’s be real—nothing ruins a summer BBQ faster than a swarm of bloodthirsty mosquitoes. I used to think a few citronella candles were enough, until I spent a week covered in bites and itching nonstop.
Trust me, slapping and scratching all day is no way to enjoy your own backyard. If you’re tired of being a mosquito buffet, you’re definitely not the only one.
I finally gave up on the home remedies and decided to call in the pros—and man, what a difference! So, to save you the hassle (and the itch), here are the best mosquito control services in Ottawa that’ll help you reclaim your outdoor fun!
How much does mosquito control service cost in Ottawa?
In Ottawa, mosquito control services typically cost between $40 and $800 per treatment, depending on the size of your property and the package you choose. These packages usually cover the application, ongoing monitoring, and sometimes free retreatments if mosquitoes return.
1. Mosquito.buzz
Address: 1038 Belfast Rd.
Phone: +1 613 231 2899
Business Hours:
- Monday to Friday – 9 AM to 5 PM
Mosquito.buzz has become a staple, and for good reason. These people actually track down all those sneaky mosquito hideouts under decks and in the thick of the shrubs before even firing up the backpack sprayer.
It’s nice that clients get to pick between their all-natural garlic sprays or a synthetic product (based on a natural extract from chrysanthemums). And for anyone with pets or kids, both options are super low-tox and Health Canada approved!
We’ve heard good things about these products, actually. A lot of former clients said their spray knocks mosquitoes out of commission right away, and they added that the protection actually sticks around for up to three weeks!
And because they tackle ticks along with mosquitoes, we thought it was pretty clever to book a special event package for an outdoor barbecue.
On the flip side, we did find their team could be a little elusive when we wanted to follow up for a reapplication—some clients said the same. But, to be fair, their satisfaction guarantee does take a lot of the worry out.
Effective product
“Product is working! This will be our second summer with mosquito.buzz. It really worked last year. We got to enjoy our pool, hot tub and deck again, without cutting down our cedar hedge!”

Prompt service
“Mosquito Buzz performed a great service. Jacob was prompt and professional. As requested, I received notifications both before and after the service which ensures my pets are out of the way. Jacob did a thorough job of spraying. Consistently has my yard mosquito free!”

2. Mosquito Man Ottawa
Address: 185 Claridge Dr., Nepean
Phone: +1 613 699 9325
Business Hours:
- Open 24 hours
Mosquito Man is set up to handle everything from stinging bugs to rodents and even general insects. With the way they position themselves, safety and eco-friendliness are right at the top of their service list.
This has definitely helped them win over some families and pet owners who want relief without strong chemicals all over the property. What stood out for us was their commitment to promptness, promising service within just 72 hours!
No wonder feedback leans heavily on the side of Mosquito Man actually sticking to those quick timelines, so there’s no waiting weeks to finally reclaim the yard.
The company’s team is also pretty open about all the options, explaining each service and making personalized suggestions without getting overly complicated. There are eco-friendly barriers, conventional sprays, and even one-off treatments!
On the downside, though, we had to brace ourselves against what can feel like pushy follow-ups by text and calls. Still, the speedy service and versatility have made Mosquito Man one of our recommendations!
Prompt and effective
“Great service. Prompt, effective and they always ask if you have any questions or concerns. Most importantly…IT WORKS! Highly recommend if you want to fully enjoy your yard.”

Professional team
“This is our 3rd season using Mosquito Man on our property and by far the most memorable. This season we were visited by a technician named Noah. Always smiling, professional, kind and jovial. While a young adult, he took great pride in his work and made sure we knew what to expect each and every visit.
I hope he is back next season, he alone would be one of the reasons to contract Mosquito Man again. That kid is going places.
Thanks again!”

3. Mosquito Hero
Address: 2275 Stevenage Dr., Unit 2
Phone: +1 613 817 9824
Business Hours:
- Monday to Friday – 9 AM to 5 PM
We found Mosquito Hero kind of impressive right off the bat, mostly because of their over 50 years of experience! It’s no wonder that they actually take the time to do a full inspection before they even start with the spray.
And it also shows how confident they are about their guarantee: if things still bite after a treatment, they’ll swing by and re-treat for free.
Furthermore, every product goes by the book, using Health Canada-approved stuff, which definitely appeals to parents and pet owners we talked to. The quotes are also laid out up front and free, so no one we chatted with felt any awkward surprises on the bills.
On the flip side, we ran into a couple of stories about the team missing an appointment and clients having to follow up to get their next date sorted out. It seems like communication can hit a snag sometimes!
Still, the general vibe is that clients stick around because the results really kick in!
Professional team
“I have had a very positive experience with Weedsman. The technicians are professional, patient, and friendly. I’ve been using their services for two years now, and the mosquito control in the backyard is excellent. My kid can play in the backyard, and friends can come over for BBQs without any mosquito bites. I highly recommend their services!”

Effective treatment
“I had a fantastic experience with Mosquito Hero! The gentleman who came was incredibly thorough and efficient. He took the time to message us to inform us what he was doing, and made sure nothing was missed. Since the treatment, I’ve noticed a huge drop in mosquito activity, it’s made being outside so much more enjoyable. Great service, professional attitude, and well worth it. Highly recommend!”

4. Sucker Free
Address: 1923 Orchardview Ave., Orléans
Phone: +1 613 866 7378
Business Hours:
- Monday to Friday – 9 AM to 5 PM
First off, we love that Sucker Free actually tailors the job to each backyard, pulling up satellite images rather than eyeballing property lines. This is definitely a clever move in our books!
As for products, they stick with pyrethroids, a plant-based solution that most people feel good about, especially the dog owners and parents we talked to. Another standout thing is their scheduling system.
There’s no last-minute scrambling to remember follow-ups since the next booking rolls out automatically. It’s the kind of perk that gets a nod in busy group chats, since chasing after service dates is no one’s idea of summer fun.
We also like that their full-service menu is no joke—cockroaches, rodents, and even those surprise wasp nets under the deck get sorted! However, getting a slot for new clients can take a bit of hustle during peak months.
Turns out, that reputation for results means everyone’s trying to book them at once, so a little wait is the trade-off.
Fast service
“Mosquitoes were making our business unbearable, so I asked around. Multiple people recommended i call Joe from sucker Free. He came within 1 hour and sprayed our whole dealership at Car City Canada 5100 Bank st. We have barely seen a bug since! 10/10”
Shawn Hebert, Google Review
Effective treatment
“Sucker Free exceeded all my expectations! Their mosquito treatment worked like a charm noticeable results almost immediately. The team was professional, on time, and super knowledgeable. I can finally enjoy my yard without constantly swatting bugs. Highly recommend their service to anyone tired of dealing with mosquitoes!”

5. NatureSafe Mosquito Defence
Address: 1000 McGarry Terrace #085
Phone: +1 613 207 7233
Business Hours:
- Monday to Friday – 9 AM to 6 PM
- Saturday – 12 PM to 6 PM
- Sunday – 11 AM to 6 PM
NatureSafe Mosquito Defence specializes in a garlic-based solution, which is completely natural. We all agreed that this makes a big difference for families with kids, pets, or vegetable gardens.
We noticed that the garlic aroma is pretty noticeable right after they spray, but we’re glad it fades within a few hours! Importantly, it doesn’t bother bees, butterflies, or even the pond life.
In fact, one client with a koi pond was relieved by how the technicians carefully made a buffer zone specifically for aquatic safety. Meanwhile, others highlighted how the protective effect lasts about 25 days before it’s time for a repeat visit.
Now, those having problems with ticks will be happy to know that NatureSafe offers a combo package that covers both pests!
The only catch is their popularity; high demand does mean snagging a prime slot might take some persistence, especially during peak bug season.
Noticeable result
“A noticeable reduction in the annoyance factor of those buzzing pests while outside in our yard or enjoying our patio! And, such great comfort knowing that it is a natural, botanical product, since we have a dog, and small children live next door. Rebooking for next season!”
Antony Simpson, Google Review
Outstanding customer service
“Excellent results and customer service! Usually mosquitoes make my yard unbearable, and this year, we have been outside all the time without any issues! The natural treatment is such a relief as I know my kids can play safely and without being bitten. The customer service is wonderful – easy and timely communication, knowledgeable and kind. I highly recommend!”
