In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.novaextermination.com\/en\/exterminateur-montreal-3\/\">Montreal<\/a>, the boroughs of C\u00f4te-des-Neiges, Villeray and Hochelaga concentrate most cases, and the City has required declaration since 2018 for buildings with 8 or more dwellings. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.novaextermination.com\/en\/exterminator-in-longueuil\/\">extermination of bed bugs in Longueuil<\/a> mainly targets the multi-unit dwellings of Chomedey and Pont-Viau. In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.novaextermination.com\/en\/exterminator-in-longueuil\/\">Longueuil and the surrounding area<\/a>, Old Longueuil and Saint-Hubert produce the majority of calls. In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.novaextermination.com\/en\/exterminator-brossard\/\">Brossard<\/a>, condominiums in sectors P and O are the most affected. Our service on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.novaextermination.com\/en\/exterminateur-rive-sud-3\/\">South Shore<\/a> combines heat treatment at 50\u00b0C and chemical protocol in two passes. In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.novaextermination.com\/en\/exterminator-saint-hyacinthe\/\">Saint-Hyacinthe<\/a>, several seniors&#8217; residences and student housing contact us every year.      <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bed bug extermination protocol: thermal vs chemical<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cimex lectularius bed bugs are one of the most difficult pests to eradicate in Quebec due to their growing resistance to pyrethroids documented since 2018. Two main protocols give reliable results: the heat treatment at a minimum of 50\u00b0C for 90 minutes, which destroys eggs and adults simultaneously, and the combined chemical protocol in two passes spaced 14 days apart, successively using a new generation pyrethroids and an IGR (growth regulator) registered with the PMRA. The choice between the two depends on the sensitivity of the occupants, the nature of the materials (electronic, plants), the surface area and the budget. Heat treatment has the advantage of removing chemical resistance and treating in a single visit, but costs 30-60% more.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regardless of the method chosen, the preparation of the home by the occupant is decisive. We systematically provide a detailed preparation sheet: all clothes and textiles must be washed at 60\u00b0C or dried at high temperature for 30 minutes, then bagged. Furniture infested with more than 30% must be disposed of by authorized emptying. The mattress is encapsulated in a zippered cover certified anti-bed bug for 12 months. Cracks and skirting boards are vacuumed and sealed. The 14, 28 and 60-day follow-up is mandatory: the effectiveness of our guarantee of results depends on compliance with the preparation sheet. No over-the-counter products (aerosol cans, poorly applied diatomaceous earth) permanently eliminate an infestation: on the contrary, they disperse the colony in the neighboring rooms.      <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bed bugs: comparison of the two validated protocols<\/h2>\n\n<table style=\"width:100%; border-collapse:collapse; margin:1em 0;\">\n<thead><tr style=\"background:#f5f5f5;\">\n<th style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd; text-align:left;\">Criterion<\/th>\n<th style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd; text-align:left;\">Heat treatment 50\u00b0C<\/th>\n<th style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd; text-align:left;\">2-pass chemical protocol<\/th>\n<\/tr><\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr><td style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">Duration of intervention<\/td><td style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">6 to 10 hours (1 day)<\/td><td style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">2 visits 14 days apart<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr style=\"background:#fafafa;\"><td style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">Indicative cost 3.5 rooms<\/td><td style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">On review<\/td><td style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">On review<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">Egg Removal<\/td><td style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">Targeted One-Visit Elimination<\/td><td style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">2nd Pass Targets Hatching<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr style=\"background:#fafafa;\"><td style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">Chemical Residue<\/td><td style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">No<\/td><td style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">Pyrethroid + PMRA IGR<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">Immediate re-occupancy<\/td><td style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">(cooling 4 hours)<\/td><td style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">4 hours after each visit<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr style=\"background:#fafafa;\"><td style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">Plant\/aquarium compatible<\/td><td style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">No (removal required)<\/td><td style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">Yes with local containment<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">Pyrethroid resistance<\/td><td style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">Not concerned<\/td><td style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">Strain risk Montreal<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr style=\"background:#fafafa;\"><td style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">90-day<\/td> <td style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">results guarantee<\/td>, <td style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd;\">120-day warranty reprocessing, warranty reprocessing<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quebec legal framework and tenant\/landlord responsibilities<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Quebec, article 1854 of the Civil Code requires the landlord to provide a dwelling in good habitable condition, which includes the eradication of bed bugs as soon as they are reported. The Administrative Housing Tribunal (formerly the R\u00e9gie du logement) systematically considers bed bugs to be a sanitation problem for which the landlord is responsible, unless there is proof that the tenant introduced them through gross negligence. However, the tenant must actively collaborate in the preparation of the dwelling and allow access to the exterminator. The cost of treatment and decontamination is the responsibility of the owner, but he can be compensated by his building insurance under the heading of damage by vermin. We provide each intervention with a report that complies with the requirements of the TAL: proof of initial infestation, protocol applied, approved products used, dates of passage and written guarantee. In 2018, the City of Montreal also adopted a by-law requiring the reporting of confirmed cases for buildings with 8 or more dwellings.     <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Did you know?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Can a bed bug infestation occur even in very well-maintained homes?

Adult bugs, reddish-brown and the size of an apple seed, can also be spotted in the seams, box springs and behind headboards.
