Saint-Jacques Exterminator
Saint-Jacques, Acadian cradle of Lanaudière, in Montcalm, combines a heritage village core, residential neighbourhoods and large farmland in the MRC de Montcalm, in Lanaudière. This mix of village buildings, farms and woods attracts mostly field mice, carpenter ants and rats. Our Saint-Jacques exterminator treats at the source, from the heart of the village to the farmhouse on the rang.

450·839·3877Where we work in Saint-Jacques
From the village core to the farming rangs of Nouvelle-Acadie, each sector of Saint-Jacques has its own buildings and dominant pests.

What we see coming back in Saint-Jacques, from the village to the rangs, throughout the year.
The thaw wakes the carpenter ants
Spring humidity soaks the wood of village houses and barns, where carpenter ants settle in with the first warm days to dig into joists and beams.
Carpenter ants risingWasps in the village and on farms
Wasps hang their nests from the eaves of houses, barns and sheds, drawn by the gardens.
Wasp peakField mice invade
Once the harvests are over, wood mice and field mice leave the Nouvelle-Acadie farmland en masse to reach farmhouses, barns and bungalows in the village.
Rodent peakThe farm and the village, kept warm
The cold freezes the insects, but mice and rats already inside settle in barns, roof voids and heated basements and keep nesting there all winter.
Rodents shelteredWhat shapes our work here
Three realities specific to Saint-Jacques that guide our method.
The fields overflow with mice
Saint-Jacques is at the heart of a large agricultural zone. In the fall, the movement of field mice toward buildings is massive. We seal the perimeter before baiting.
Old buildings let things through
Heritage houses, barns and period wood offer a thousand passages to rodents and insects. We seal the old buildings without altering them.
Barns shelter rats and mice
Barns, silos and sheds are reservoirs of rodents that then reach the house. We treat the outbuilding as much as the residence.
Three situations we often handle here
Typical Saint-Jacques cases, seen in the field.
Farm in the fall
After the harvests, wood mice invade a barn and the adjoining farmhouse. We seal the perimeter and install secure stations.
Heritage house in the village
Galleries in a beam of an old house give away a nest. We treat the colony and dry the damp wood that attracted it.
Apartment on rue Saint-Jacques
Cockroaches settle in an apartment in the village. Targeted gel in cracks and checking of neighbouring units.
Our extermination services in Saint-Jacques
Six pests dominate Saint-Jacques. For each one, a method adapted to the village and the rangs.
Carpenter ants
The damp wood of village houses and barns feeds carpenter ants. We follow the trail to the nest, often near a leak or a beam, before treating.
Mice
The large farmlands of Nouvelle-Acadie make field mice a very common pest, especially in the fall. We seal the perimeter of houses, farms and barns before installing discreet stations.
Cockroaches
In the village of Saint-Jacques, cockroaches are concentrated in the apartments and restaurants of the main street. Targeted gel in the kitchen and bathroom, and checking of adjoining units to prevent them from spreading.
Rats
Barns, silos and the surroundings of Route 158 attract Norway rats. We close off access under slabs and along foundations, then install secure baits out of reach.
Bed bugs
A return from a trip or a piece of second-hand furniture can bring bed bugs into a Saint-Jacques bedroom. We target the mattress, box spring and baseboards with a targeted treatment, without throwing out furniture.
Wasps
Eaves of houses, barns and sheds give wasps nest sites. Safe removal at height and sealing of access points to prevent a return.
