Ant extermination in Montréal

Squashing the ants you can see solves nothing: the colony keeps growing. We identify the species, locate the nest and treat at the source, including carpenter ants that damage the wood in your home.

Signs of an ant problem

  • Ant trails heading for the kitchen or pantry
  • Large black ants indoors in spring (carpenter ants)
  • Fine sawdust (frass) along baseboards or beams
  • Small sand mounds between patio stones and pavers
  • Faint rustling in the walls on quiet days

Québec ants are not all treated the same way

The common species in Québec are the carpenter ant, the pavement ant and the pharaoh ant. Carpenter ants tunnel through damp wood and can weaken a structure; pharaoh ants require specific baits, because standard sprays fragment the colony and make things worse. Identifying the species is not a detail: it decides the right treatment.

How we work

1. Inspection and diagnosis

A technician examines your home or business, identifies the species, the entry points and the extent of the problem, then walks you through what they found.

2. Targeted treatment

Baits and treatments matched to the identified species, treatment of the nest and trails, and exterior applications where needed to cut off access routes.

3. Prevention and follow-up

We seal what can be sealed, give you practical advice to prevent a comeback, and return if needed. If pests come back, so do we.

FAQ

Do carpenter ants eat wood?

No, they do not eat it: they excavate it to nest, which still damages the structure over time. Acting quickly limits the damage.

Why do the ants come back every year?

If the main nest was never treated, the colony survives and starts again in spring. Treating at the source fixes it for good.

Do I need to prepare my home before the treatment?

Put food away, wipe down surfaces and keep pets clear during the visit. We send you the exact instructions beforehand.

How long does the visit take?

Most visits, inspection and treatment included, take one to two hours depending on the size of the property.
