Gatineau Exterminator
Gatineau is the large city of the Outaouais, on the Ottawa River across from Ottawa, bringing together the sectors of Hull, Aylmer, Gatineau, Buckingham and Masson-Angers. This mix of a dense centre (Hull), shorelines, residential neighbourhoods and woods mainly draws cockroaches, shoreline rats, carpenter ants and mice. Our exterminator in Gatineau treats at the source, from the Vieux-Hull apartment to the neighbourhood house.

819·772·8464Where we work in Gatineau
From the dense centre of Hull to the sectors of Aylmer, Gatineau and Buckingham, every sector has its own buildings and its own dominant pests.

Residential and wooded sectorsThe pest changes with the calendar
What we see coming back in Gatineau, from the centre of Hull to the wooded sectors, throughout the year.
The spring flood of the rivers drives out the rats
In spring, rats active near the shorelines can reach the basements of downtown Hull and the waterfront neighbourhoods.
Rats on the riseCarpenter ants and wasps in town
The damp wood of Hull’s older buildings and waterfront residences draws carpenter ants, while wasps nest under cornices and balconies.
Insects on the riseMice and cockroaches toward the warmth
The cooler air pushes mice from the wooded sectors toward houses, while cockroaches from Hull’s towers and apartments move into heated units.
Rodents and cockroaches on the riseThe dense centre, warm inside
Winter freezes the insects outside, but cockroaches and bed bugs already settled in Hull’s towers and adjoining apartments breed through the shared walls.
Active apartment infestationsWhat shapes our work here
Three realities specific to Gatineau that guide our method.
Shared walls let pests circulate
The Hull sector is dense, with towers and adjoining apartments. Cockroaches, mice and bed bugs pass from one unit to another through the shared walls, which we treat by coordinating the units.
The water brings the rats
Shorelines can give rats shelter near buildings. We treat the access points of buildings as much as the exterior.
Very varied buildings
Gatineau brings together very different sectors, from dense Hull to the woods of Buckingham. We adapt the method to the buildings of each sector.
Three situations we often handle here
Typical Gatineau cases, seen from the field.
Residential tower in downtown Hull
Cockroaches move between apartments in a tower in downtown Hull. Targeted gel in the kitchen and bathroom, coordinated treatment of the units and follow-up.
Waterfront house on the Gatineau River
The flood pushes a brown rat into a waterfront basement. We plug the access under the slab and place secured stations along the foundation.
Wooded house in Aylmer
The damp wood of an Aylmer house shelters a nest. We locate it and dry out the at-risk wood.
Our extermination services in Gatineau
Six pests dominate Gatineau. For each one, a method suited to the dense centre of Hull and the residential sectors.
Carpenter ants
The old, damp wood of downtown Hull and the wooded residences of Aylmer and Buckingham feeds carpenter ants. We follow the trail back to the mother nest before treating.
Mice
Dense apartments, bungalows and houses in the wooded sectors let mice in through cracks and shared walls. We seal the perimeter before installing discreet stations.
Cockroaches
The towers, apartments and dense businesses of downtown Hull are the home base of cockroaches, which pass through the shared walls. Targeted gel and coordinated treatment of adjoining units to stop the spread.
Rats
The shores of the Ottawa and Gatineau rivers make Gatineau’s waterfront sectors rat territory. We close off the access points under slabs and along foundations, then install secured baits.
Bed bugs
In Hull’s towers and adjoining apartments, bed bugs pass between neighbouring units. We target the mattress, box spring and baseboards with a targeted treatment, with follow-up of the neighbouring units.
Wasps
Cornices, balconies and sheds in Gatineau’s sectors give wasps nesting sites. Safe removal at height and sealing of the access points to prevent their return.
