Our ant extermination services in Brossard
Three species drive most ant calls in Brossard: the carpenter ant, the pavement ant and, in heated buildings, the pharaoh ant. Our certified exterminators treat each one with its own bait and its own dosage, in homes and in commercial spaces.
Carpenter ants in Brossard bungalows
Carpenter ants excavate damp wood in rim joists, window frames and decks. Their galleries eventually reach the structural framing. We locate the parent nest, almost always outdoors in a stump or a mature tree on the property, then the satellite nests lodged inside the structure. The species and the damage it causes are covered on our carpenter ant extermination page.
Pavement ants and Brossard concrete slabs
The pavement ant nests under patio slabs, driveways and sidewalks. Small craters of sand along the foundation give it away. We treat the outside perimeter and the entry points, rather than the workers crossing the kitchen and the pantry. See every insect we eliminate .
Commercial ant extermination in Brossard
Restaurants at Quartier DIX30, shops on boulevard Taschereau, office buildings and condo properties: our interventions are discreet, documented and compliant with MAPAQ requirements, carried out in unmarked vehicles. Choose one-time commercial extermination or an integrated pest management program, depending on the frequency you want.
Our ant extermination method in Brossard
The Pestora method has four steps, applied at every Brossard address, from the first call to the follow-up visit. Treatment targets the queen and the brood: visible workers are replaced within days, while the nest itself stays put. Our residential extermination service covers single-family homes, condos and apartment buildings.

Brossard is divided into sectors identified by a letter, from sector A to sector P, where every street in a sector starts with that letter. Much of the housing stock dates from the postwar years and from the 1960s to the 1980s: bungalows and split-level homes on wide lots, with mature trees that aged along with the houses.
Bungalows and lots in lettered sectors
On these large lots, the stump left behind after a tree comes down, the firewood stacked against the garage and the garden shed all host the parent nest of carpenter ants. South Shore clay soil swells and shrinks from season to season, which opens fine cracks in foundations and hands the basement over to the workers.
Brossard-sur-le-Lac and the DIX30 area
In a residential neighborhood like Brossard-sur-le-Lac, we mostly treat carpenter ants settled in the wood of decks, balconies and sheds, with humidity off the St. Lawrence River on top. Around Quartier DIX30, it is pavement ants coming out of the slabs and the parking lots that get into the shops and the newer buildings.
Ant extermination prices in Brossard
A carpenter ant treatment usually runs between $300 and $800, depending on the scale of the infestation, the number of nests and the size of the building. Caulking the entry points adds $100 to $300 when the foundation or the sills need sealing. The on-site assessment is free and carries no obligation, with a fixed price given before the work starts.

FAQ: ant exterminator in Brossard
How much does ant extermination cost in Brossard?
A carpenter ant treatment runs between $300 and $800, depending on the number of nests, the size of the building and access to the affected areas. A pavement ant colony limited to the outside perimeter costs less. Caulking the entry points adds $100 to $300. Your quote is free, with a fixed price given before the work starts.
Why are carpenter ants common in Brossard?
Brossard’s residential building stock dates mostly from the 1960s to the 1980s, and the lots carry mature trees, stumps and wooden sheds. That aged wood, often damp at the foot of a deck or a foundation wall, serves as the parent nest. Workers then get into the house through a crack and set up satellite nests inside the structure.
Does South Shore clay soil favor ants?
Indirectly, yes. South Shore clay swells and shrinks with soil moisture, which over the years opens fine cracks in foundations and garage slabs. Those cracks become entry points for pavement ants and for carpenter ant workers alike. Our technician seals them after the treatment, during the same visit.
What is your response time in Brossard?
Count on 48 to 72 hours for a standard situation, dispatched from our Greater Montreal division. Emergencies get 24/7 priority and are often handled within 24 hours: a visible colony in a commercial kitchen at Quartier DIX30, or a swarm of winged ants indoors in the spring.
Is ant treatment safe for pets?
Yes. Our products are approved by Health Canada and applied by a technician certified by the Ministère de l’Environnement. Gel baits are placed out of reach of children and animals, inside cracks, under cabinets and along baseboards. You receive written instructions that match the type of intervention.
How long before the ants disappear?
Activity drops within a few days, but wiping out the whole colony takes two to six weeks: the bait has to travel to the queen and the brood. Seeing workers carry the product away is a good sign, they follow their pheromone trails back to the nest. A follow-up visit confirms the result, and the prevention measures given on site limit the risk of a repeat.
