From the lively downtown to the cottages on both shores, here is what we meet most depending on your corner.
The city’s main areas
5 areasWhat comes back through the seasons
In Magog, the Eastern Townships climate and the tourist traffic set the rhythm of the year. Here is what to expect.
Spring
Carpenter ants come out of the Mont Orford woodlots and inspect the cottages reopened for the summer. It is also the return of ticks on the trails.
Peak: carpenter antsSummer
High season: wasps overrun the downtown decks, and the comings and goings of short-term rentals move bed bugs around.
Peak: bed bugs and waspsFall
Cottages close and mice move in for the winter. Cluster flies cover the lake-facing facades.
Peak: mice in cottagesWinter
The resort draws visitors and the critters follow into the heated walls. It is the right time to seal access points and inspect rentals.
Peak: rodents in the warmthThree realities that are pure Magog
Why does Magog attract these particular pests? Here is what we notice in the field.
Tourism moves the critters
Hotels, inns and short-term rentals make Magog a hub. Trips, luggage and used items are among the ways bed bugs spread.
Cottages and seasonal homes
Homes that are open only part of the year become perfect refuges for mice, and the lake’s moisture feeds spiders and flies around the dwellings.
The forest at the door
Mont-Orford National Park pushes carpenter ants and wildlife toward cottages and homes at the edge. Wooded areas see noticeably more of them.
The picture, area by area
A quick overview of what calls us out most in each corner of Magog.
Downtown
Between rue Principale, the marina and Pointe Merry, shops, restaurants and homes are tightly packed. The tourist traffic makes bed bugs and cockroaches more present there than elsewhere.
Omerville
The residential area to the north lines up family homes. The wood of the decks calls carpenter ants and the fall brings mice back toward the warmth.
Canton de Magog
Country houses and farms line both shores of the lake. Field mice in the fall and cluster flies on sunny walls are on the guest list.
Lakeshore and cottages
Seasonal homes and the marina live at the rhythm of the water. Mice in closed cottages, spiders in the dampness, and sometimes fleas left behind by animals.
Around Mont-Orford National Park (Orford)
Cottages and homes at the edge of the national park pay for their wooded setting: carpenter ants, raccoons and wasps readily show up.
A treatment suited to each pest
We adjust the method to the critter and to your type of building, house or cottage. The button leads to the service, the fact sheet to the critter.
Carpenter ants
The bane of cottages and homes near Mont Orford. They quietly hollow out damp wood. We go back to the main nest and the satellite nests to fix the cause.
Mice
Queens of cottages closed for the winter. A tiny opening is enough for them. We seal the access points and monitor until things settle down.
Cockroaches
Frequent in downtown apartments and businesses. They travel in boxes and appliances. We treat the hot spots and their routes until the cycle is broken.
Bed bugs
A frequent pest in a tourist town. They arrive in luggage and move from one rental to another. Inspection, targeted treatment and follow-up to confirm everything is gone.
Rats
Rarer but tough, drawn by businesses and the lake’s edges. Wary, they follow precise routes that we read before acting.
Wasps
A nest on a restaurant deck or under the eave of a cottage quickly spoils the summer. We remove it safely and cut the urge for the next ones.
Solid references
Our methods follow public health authorities and Quebec’s regulation of pesticides.
