Bed bug exterminator in Montréal and Québec

Look for live insects, small dark spots, shed skins, eggs and signs around the mattress, box spring and headboard. Bites alone cannot confirm an infestation.

An adult bed bug is a small reddish-brown, oval and flattened insect. After feeding, its body may appear fuller and darker.

They commonly hide in mattress seams, box springs, bed frames, headboards, nearby furniture, cracks, baseboards and other small spaces near resting areas.

No. Bed bugs do not fly or jump. They crawl and can be transported on belongings.

No. Skin reactions vary and can have other causes. Physical evidence or an inspection is needed to confirm bed bugs.

Yes. Bed bugs are not a sign of poor cleanliness. They can be introduced on luggage, clothing, furniture or other belongings.

They can travel on luggage, clothing, used furniture and personal belongings. In multi-unit buildings, they may also move between neighbouring units.

No. Beds are common hiding areas because they are close to occupants, but bed bugs can also hide in furniture, cracks, baseboards and nearby objects.

Not necessarily. Avoid discarding or moving furniture before an inspection because this can spread bed bugs. Ask a professional first.

Moving to another room without a plan can shift activity elsewhere. Ask for instructions tailored to your situation before changing sleeping areas.

Avoid moving belongings between rooms, document the signs you observe and request an inspection to confirm the problem and determine its extent.

Follow the written instructions for the planned method. Preparation may involve laundry, access to walls and furniture, decluttering and management of personal items.

Preparation depends on the affected areas and treatment method. Avoid large-scale preparation without instructions because unnecessary movement can complicate control.

Report anything already applied and avoid combining random treatments. Some applications can disperse insects or make inspection more difficult.

Treatment time varies with property size, infestation level, method and preparation. The team can explain the expected process after assessment.

The number of visits depends on the method, infestation, building and follow-up findings. There is no single number that applies to every case.

The inspection focuses on sleeping areas and likely hiding places to look for insects, eggs, shed skins, spots and other evidence and to define affected areas.

A plan may combine different measures based on inspection findings and building conditions. The exact method should be explained before service.

Instructions depend on the products and methods used. Tell the team about children, pets or special needs and follow all vacancy and re-entry directions.

It depends on the method. The technician should tell you whether to leave, for how long and when it is appropriate to return.

Follow the re-entry time provided for the treatment performed. Do not return earlier than directed by the professional.

Follow-up is based on the gradual absence of evidence and, when appropriate, inspections or monitoring devices. Report activity observed after service.

Depending on the method and infestation stage, some residual activity may be observed. Follow the instructions provided and contact the team if signs persist.

Eggs are small and can be hidden in hard-to-reach places. This is one reason the treatment method and follow-up should match the infestation.

Reintroduction is possible if bed bugs are brought in again or if a neighbouring source remains. Prevention and follow-up help reduce that risk.

Inspect sleeping areas, keep luggage organized and examine belongings when you return. If you find suspicious evidence, avoid spreading items throughout the home.

Yes. Carefully inspect used furniture and upholstered items before bringing them into your home.

When appropriate, notify the landlord, property manager or condo association so the situation can be evaluated in the context of the building and neighbouring units.

Yes. They can move within a building, so coordination may be necessary when an infestation affects a multi-unit property.

Residential and commercial properties may be serviced depending on the area. Call the local number to describe the building and confirm availability.

A professional inspection helps confirm the problem, define affected areas and select an appropriate strategy instead of applying random measures.

Ask how the inspection is performed, what method is proposed, how to prepare, what the re-entry instructions are and what follow-up is planned.

Price depends on factors such as property size, building type, infestation extent and treatment method. An assessment provides a more relevant estimate.

Availability varies by service area. Use your city’s local number or the contact form to ask about the next available appointment.

A clear photo can help with preliminary identification, but it may not replace an inspection, especially if the image is blurry or no complete insect is visible.

Body shape, size, colour and where the insect was found can help with identification. Reliable identification helps avoid treating the wrong pest.

They are often more active while occupants are resting, but they can be seen at other times, particularly when an infestation is substantial.

The actual extent of activity should be determined first. An inspection may show that other areas need to be included in the treatment plan.
