This is our second year using OVSS and we totally recommend. The ticks are early this year - just like last and these guys will ensure your pets and you are kept free and clear!!! Well worth every penny!

☀️ The grass is growing, the bugs are plotting… and OVSS is officially BACK for the season! 🌿😎

Seasonal services are launching THIS WEEK and we’re ready to help Ottawa Valley families reclaim their yards from weeds, grubs, ticks, and those mosquitoes that think your ankles are an all-you-can-eat buffet 🦟🍽️

Whether you want:
✔️ a greener lawn
✔️ fewer weeds
✔️ less scratching
✔️ or just to enjoy your backyard in peace…

—we’re here for it.

🌱 Services launching:

Celebrating National Volunteer Week! So many organizations in your local town would greatly benefit from just a few hours of your time. 🙂🙂

It's National Volunteer Week (April 19th-25th) here in Canada and we would like to start the week introducing our Volunteer Coordinator Kathryn Tranter Abt. Kathryn has been volunteering with us since the very beginning in 2023. As an active and amazing Volunteer we knew she would be ideal to lead the team. Kathryn showed just how much she cares for her team on Saturday night. Our Table Angels all got a chance to eat and enjoy the evening and knew exactly what to do to make the night a resounding success. Thank you Kathryn and welcome to your new role. If you'd like to volunteer with us, you can reach her at [email protected]

What can we say about these sugar cookie bars from La Petite Moulinière ? Is there a word better than delicious? How about decadent? Maybe a simple yummy! However we decide to describe them, we recommend you try them or any of the other amazing goodies they offer!!!

Well that was quick!! If you did not snag one of these, dont worry, there will be another chance before the end of the year!

***** update… only 1 package of 6 left!!!*****

✨ A nostalgic holiday favourite ✨
Our Sugar Cookie Squares are a gentle nod to the classic sugar cookie we all grew up with — soft, buttery, and comforting. Finished with a light, creamy frosting and festive sprinkles, they taste like the holidays, wrapped in something familiar 🎄
Baked in small batches, with limited quantities available first come, first served.
