An infestation in La Présentation is never like that of the neighboring neighborhood. Heritage buildings are home to carpenter ants in galleries that newer condominiums never have. Farms on the outskirts experience cycles of field mice that spill over into homes in the fall. Triplexes in dense areas import bed bugs from each neighbourhood. This is what our team has learned in more than ten years of interventions on the South Shore of Montreal, and that’s why an exterminator at La Présentation must make a local diagnosis before any treatment.
Whether you suspect mouse extermination, rat extermination, or a pest that is difficult to identify, our approach begins with an on-site inspection, followed by a written estimate adapted to the situation. Inspection in less than 24 hours, next-day intervention, written guarantee on residential interventions. RBQ 5734 75930 01 license, 7 days a week service.

How our intervention at La Présentation is going?
Four steps, predictable from one intervention to another.
- Telephone diagnosis. You describe what you observe. We identify the likely species and estimate the magnitude.
- On-site inspection. The technician validates the diagnosis, locates the entry points and traffic routes, photographs the evidence.
- Costed action plan. Written quote on site adapted to the situation, description of the products, estimated duration and warranty.
- Processing and reporting. Intervention according to the plan, written report submitted before departure with photos, batches used and warranty conditions.
For treatment-related services, many of La Présentation’s clients combine their intervention with caulking and pest prevention, which reduces the risk of recurrence by about 70 per cent according to our internal follow-up.
What to do while waiting for our arrival
Depending on the type of pest suspected, here’s what you can (and should) do before we respond:
If you suspect rodents
- Don’t clean up the poop immediately (technicians want to see them to evaluate)
- Put food in airtight containers
- Avoid installing traps yourself: this can disperse the colony
If you suspect insects
- Do not use commercial aerosol products: they disperse and complicate the treatment
- Keep a dead specimen if possible, in a closed plastic bag
- Document the areas and times when you observe insects
If you suspect a wild animal
- Do not attempt any capture yourself (illegal in Quebec without an MFFP license)
- Do not block the exit until the animal is confirmed to be taken out or captured
- Keep pets and children away from the area
