Saint-Colomban Exterminator
Saint-Colomban is a fast-growing nature town in the Laurentians, made up of residential neighbourhoods scattered through a vast forest dotted with lakes and wooded roads. This dense forest cover and these large lots attract mainly carpenter ants, field mice and wasps. Our Saint-Colomban exterminator treats at the source, from the house in the forest to the cottage on a lake shore.

From residential neighbourhoods in the forest to lakeshores and wooded roads, each sector of Saint-Colomban has its own buildings and dominant pests.

What we see coming back in Saint-Colomban, from forest neighbourhoods to lakeshores, throughout the year.
The thaw wakes the carpenter ants
Humidity from the forest and lakes soaks the wood of decks and houses, where carpenter ants come out with the first warm days to dig into joists and galleries.
Carpenter ants risingWasps on large wooded lots
Wasps hang their nests from eaves, sheds and trees on large lots, sheltered by the forest cover.
Wasp peakField mice leave the forest
The cool Laurentian air pushes wood mice and field mice in large numbers from the forest toward the houses and cottages scattered through the woods.
Rodent peakThe house in the forest as shelter
At the height of the Saint-Colomban winter, a mouse that has already gotten in burrows into a basement or a heated roof void of an isolated house and raises its litters there undisturbed until the thaw.
Rodents in the warmthWhat shapes our work here
Three realities specific to Saint-Colomban that guide our method.
The forest feeds carpenter ants and mice
Saint-Colomban is a nature town where houses are built right in the forest. This dense cover and dead wood are the ideal terrain for carpenter ants and field mice, which we track all the way to the building.
It all happens at the perimeter
With its large wooded lots, Saint-Colomban is treated at the perimeter of the houses: decks, sheds, trees and roofs. We close the house to the insects and rodents coming from the woods.
Humidity favours soft wood
The many lakes keep humidity high, which softens the wood of cottages and lakeside homes, favouring carpenter ants. We treat the at-risk wood as much as the insect.
Three situations we often handle here
Typical Saint-Colomban cases, seen in the field.
New house in a wooded setting
Sawdust under the deck of a house built in the forest reveals a nest. We trace it back to the parent nest, often in a tree on the property, and treat both.
Lakeside cottage in the fall
In the fall, forest wood mice invade a lakeside cottage. We seal the perimeter and install secure stations.
Isolated house on the edge
A nest under the eaves of a house at the edge of the woods worries the occupants. Safe removal at height, then sealing of the eave.
Our extermination services in Saint-Colomban
Six pests dominate Saint-Colomban. For each one, a method adapted to the wooded nature town.
Carpenter ants
The dense forest and the damp wood of Saint-Colomban’s houses and cottages feed carpenter ants. We follow the trail to the parent nest, often in a tree, before treating.
Mice
Houses in the forest and cottages, on large wooded lots, let mice and wood mice in through cracks and garage doors. We seal the perimeter before installing discreet stations.
Cockroaches
Uncommon here, cockroaches arrive mostly through a piece of furniture or a parcel. Targeted gel in cracks and a check to prevent any establishment.
Rats
Rare in this nature town, Norway rats can follow a composter or an outbuilding near a lake. Careful exclusion of entry points and secure baits out of reach of animals.
Bed bugs
A return from a trip or a piece of second-hand furniture can bring bed bugs into a Saint-Colomban bedroom. We target the mattress, box spring and baseboards with a targeted treatment, without throwing out furniture.
Wasps
Eaves, sheds and trees on large lots give wasps nest sites sheltered by the forest cover. Safe removal at height and sealing of access points to prevent a return.
