In Lac-Mégantic, the atmosphere of the Cantons and the flow of tourists set the pace for the year. Here’s what to expect.
Spring
Carpenter ants are emerging from the woods on Mount Mégantic and inspecting the cottages that have reopened for the summer. Ticks are also making a comeback on the trails.

High season: Wasps swarm the downtown patios, and the constant turnover of short-term rentals spreads bed bugs.

The cabins are locked up, and mice move in for the winter. Autumn flies cover the lake-facing facades.

The resort attracts visitors, and bugs follow them into the heated buildings. Now is the time to seal off entry points and inspect the rental units.

Why does Lac-Mégantic attract these pests in particular? Here’s what we’ve observed on the ground.
Tourism spreads germs
Hotels, inns, and short-term rentals make Lac-Mégantic a hub. This constant flow of luggage and travelers is the primary factor driving the spread of bed bugs in the region.
Cottages and Vacation Homes
Homes that are open only part of the year become perfect havens for mice, and the moisture from the lake attracts spiders and flies around the homes.
The Forest at the Gates
Mont-Mégantic National Park is driving carpenter ants and wildlife toward the cottages and homes on the park’s edge. Wooded areas are seeing significantly more of them.
An Overview, Sector by Sector
A quick overview of what appeals to us most in every corner of Lac-Mégantic.
Downtown
Between Main Street, the marina, and Pointe Merry, shops, restaurants, and housing are packed closely together. The constant flow of tourists makes bed bugs and cockroaches more prevalent there than elsewhere.
Omerville
The residential area to the north is lined with single-family homes. The wood of the decks attracts woodpeckers, and fall draws mice back to the warmth.
Saint-Patrice and the Township
Country houses and farms line both shores of the lake. Field mice in the fall and autumn flies on the sunlit walls are a common sight.
Lakeside and cottages
The seasonal homes and the marina live in tune with the water. Mice in closed cottages, spiders in damp areas, and sometimes fleas left behind by animals.
Mont-Mégantic Area
The cabins and houses on the edge of the national park pay the price for their wooded setting: carpenter ants, raccoons, and wasps are happy to make themselves at home.
A treatment tailored to each pest
We tailor the method to the pest and to your type of building, whether it’s a house or a cabin. The button takes you to the service, and the fact sheet takes you to the pest.
Carpenter ants
The bane of cottages and homes near Mount Mégantic. They burrow silently through damp wood. We track them back to the main nest and satellite nests to address the problem.
Mouse
The queens of the cabins are shut in for the winter. A hole the size of a dime is all they need. We seal off the entrances and keep watch until things settle down again.
Cockroaches
Common in homes and businesses in the city center. They travel through electrical outlets and appliances. We treat the sources and their pathways until the cycle is broken.
Bed bugs
The number one pest in a tourist town. They arrive in luggage and spread from one rental property to another. Inspection, targeted treatment, and follow-up to confirm that they’re all gone.
Rats
They are rarer but tough, drawn to shops and the lakefront. Wary, they follow specific routes that you need to figure out before taking action.
Wasps
A nest on a restaurant patio or under the eaves of a cabin can quickly ruin your summer. Remove it safely and deter any others from building nests there.
A Strong Track Record
Our methods comply with public health guidelines and Quebec’s pesticide regulations.
