What we see returning to Saint-Roch-de-l’Achigan, from the village to the fields, throughout the year.
Flooding on the Achigan River Displaces Rats
The spring rise in the Achigan River drives the brown rats from the riverbanks into the basements of the village and riverside homes.
Rats on the RiseCarpenter bees and wasps in the village and on farms
The wood of houses and barns attracts carpenter bees in the summer, while wasps nest under eaves and in storage sheds.
Insect Populations on the RiseField mice are invading
Once the harvest is over, field mice and voles leave the Montcalm countryside in droves to head for the farms, barns, and houses in the village.
Rodent PeakThe Farm and the Cozy Village
The cold freezes the insects, but mice and rats that have already gotten inside settle into heated barns, basements, and attics, where they continue to raise their young.
Rodents in the ShelterWhat shapes our work here
Three realities specific to Saint-Roch-de-l’Achigan that guide our approach.
The fields are teeming with mice
Saint-Roch is surrounded by vast farmlands. In the fall, there is a massive migration of field mice toward buildings. The perimeter is sealed off before baiting begins.
The paths lead the rats
The intersection of major thoroughfares and its surrounding areas provide brown rats with access to dumpsters and the areas around businesses. We are blocking off access points and securing the perimeter.
Water attracts rats
The banks of the Achigan River serve as a breeding ground for brown rats, which make their way into the village and the homes along the river. We treat both the interior and exterior of the buildings.
Three situations we often handle here
Typical examples from Saint-Roch-de-l’Achigan, as seen from the field.
Farm in the Fall
After the harvest, field mice invade a barn and the adjoining farmhouse. The perimeter is sealed off, and secure stations are set up.
Village House
Tunnels in a beam of a house in the village reveal a nest. We treat the colony and dry out the damp wood that attracted it.
Basement along the river in the spring
The rising waters of the Achigan River have driven a brown rat into a basement along the riverbank. We’ve blocked off the entrance under the concrete slab and set up secure traps.
Our Pest Control Services in Saint-Roch-de-l’Achigan
Six pests are plaguing Saint-Roch-de-l’Achigan. For each one, there is a method tailored to the village and its surrounding areas.
Carpenter ants
The wood in village houses and barns, as well as damp wood along waterways, provides a food source for wood-boring beetles. We follow the trail back to the nest—often near a beam or a leak—before treating the area.
Mouse
On the vast lands of Montcalm, field mice are the number one pest, especially in the fall. The perimeter of houses, farms, and barns is sealed off before discreet traps are set up.
Cockroaches
Cockroaches are infesting homes and businesses in the village center. Apply gel directly to cracks and inspect neighboring units to stop the spread.
Rats
The banks of the Achigan River, barns, and the intersection of Routes 25 and 158 attract Norway rats. We seal off access points under concrete slabs and along foundations, then set out secure bait out of their reach.
Bed bugs
Bed bugs can be introduced into a bedroom in Saint-Roch-de-l’Achigan by someone returning from a trip or through secondhand furniture. We treat mattresses, box springs, and baseboards with steam and residual insecticides, without discarding the furniture.
Wasps
The eaves of houses, barns, and outbuildings provide nesting sites for wasps. Safely remove the nest from a height and seal off access points to prevent them from returning.
