For businesses and restaurants in Ville-Marie, a pest infestation can have consequences far beyond simple inconvenience: temporary closure, loss of customers, and regulatory sanctions. The discretion of the intervention is as important as its effectiveness.
In short: Commercial interventions in Ville-Marie are scheduled outside of business hours, using unmarked vehicles and with documented reports for MAPAQ inspections.
Ville-Marie: why the pests are frequent here
The Ville-Marie neighborhood has characteristics that favor the presence of pests. The density of housing, the age of the buildings, and the proximity to green spaces or bodies of water create a conducive environment. Duplexes and triplexes built before the 1980s often have gaps in their foundations and around plumbing that pests exploit.
Our certified technicians regularly work in Ville-Marie and are familiar with the specific characteristics of local buildings. This local knowledge allows us to adapt each intervention to the actual conditions of your home.
What our technicians observant in Ville-Marie
During our regular interventions in Ville-Marie, our certified technicians observe recurring pest-related situations:
- Buildings constructed before 1980 systematically have multiple entry points at the foundation and plumbing levels.
- Recently renovated buildings are not immune—the work sometimes creates new openings that are overlooked
- The proximity of green spaces, alleys, or food stores significantly increases the risk of infestation.
- Partially treated infestations (without sealing) return in 80% of cases within the following 3 months
Measures of prevention effective
To protect your home in Ville-Marie from pests, adopt these preventive measures recommended by our technicians:
