Brossard Pest Control, QC

Heavy rain, a basement in Sector A that smells like a sewer, and two days later, Oriental cockroaches at the base of the floor drain. This scenario is nothing out of the ordinary here: the City adopted Interim Bylaw REG-486-R precisely because the underground infrastructure in Sectors A, B, and P dates back to the 1960s. A sector letter already tells us a great deal about the building we’re about to inspect. Our work proceeds from the utility network toward the building.

The Basement in Brossard: "
" Letter by Letter

Brossard was built in one fell swoop. It had 3,400 residents in 1958, 91,525 according to the 2021 census, and 35.3% of its housing stock was built between 1961 and 1980, compared to 4.2% before 1961. A city where almost everything is the same age, and where the pipes have aged together.

The division into 17 sectors, each designated by a letter, dates back to that era. In each sector, the streets and parks begin with the sector’s letter. It’s more than just a postal convenience: the letter tells you the age of the bedrock beneath your feet.

Sectors A, B, and P are the oldest developed areas. The City is enforcing a temporary ordinance there because the pipes date back to the 1960s: leaks, cross-connections between stormwater and sewer systems, and backups during heavy rains and snowmelt. A sewer system in this condition becomes a permanent habitat for brown rats and Oriental cockroaches.

And yet, only 5.1% of homes require major repairs. The problem isn’t in the living room. It’s under the floor slab.

Our Services by Sector in Brossard

Sectors A, B, and P
1960s Network · Rats

These are areas that were previously subdivided, as covered by provisional regulation REG-486-R. When a cross-connection allows rainwater to enter the sanitary sewer, a backup can also cause other substances to flow back up. We inspect the floor drain, the sump, and the check valve before installing anything.

Sectors E and R
Condos near REM stations

The Brossard station is located at 8200 Rome Boulevard, and the Du Quartier station at 2100 Eclipse Street. In the surrounding area, population density is increasing, and new buildings are leading to more trash chutes and underground parking garages. We mainly deal with Oriental cockroaches and silverfish there.

Boulevard du Quartier and Mail Champlain
Shops · Docks · Rodents

The DIX30 neighborhood is located at the intersection of the Eastern Townships Expressway and the Steel Expressway, and the Mail Champlain runs along Taschereau Boulevard. Restaurants, kitchens, and trash compactors offer everything a rodent could need. We work outside of business hours when requested by the business.

Sector C and Large Urban Park
Marmots under the sheds

At 4000 Châteauneuf Street, the Grand Urban Park is open from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., right in the heart of Sector C. Marmots and striped skunks burrow under sheds, walkways, and patio slabs. We look for the burrow, confirm that it’s empty, and then lock up.

Bois-de-Brossard Nature Reserve
Wet Forest Edge · Woodlice and Centipedes

The nature reserve covers more than 400 hectares, divided into several sections on either side of the A-10. Insects from the forest edge enter nearby homes through garage thresholds and French drains. The work is carried out along the perimeter.

Our SERVICES

Our Four Checks:
Before Treatment

1. The neighborhood and its age.
A letter provides information on when the neighborhood was developed and the likely condition of the underground utility system beneath the building.

2. The Path of Water.
Floor drains, sumps, check valves, gutters: we follow the water, because the species we’re focusing on here follow it too.

3. The exact entry point.
We determine the actual opening before selecting a product, from the garage threshold to the duct opening.

4. What still needs to be fixed.
We document the fixes that are beyond our control, so that the results will remain in place after we leave.

Six Common Pests
in Brossard Basements

The brown rat and the sewer system

It doesn’t climb well, but it burrows and swims. A faulty check valve or a cracked ventilation shaft is all it takes for him to get into a basement in sectors A, B, or P. We inspect the interior ductwork before setting any traps, because a bait placed outside won’t do any good if the entrance is under the floor slab.

The Oriental cockroach at the base of the drains

Larger and darker than the German cockroach, it thrives in cool, damp places: sumps, crawl spaces, and garage thresholds. It climbs up through dried-out traps. Adding water to an unused trap is often more effective than the initial treatment.

Silverfish in Crawl Spaces

Silverfish don’t bite and don’t carry any diseases, but their presence indicates abnormally high humidity. We measure the humidity before treating the problem: a properly placed dehumidifier and improved ventilation can sometimes solve the problem without any insecticides.

The sidewalk ant under the slabs

It builds its tunnels under the pavement, in driveways, and along curbs, then climbs up through the tiniest cracks. Treatment should be applied outdoors, on the nest and the trails, not on the workers crawling across the kitchen counter.

Woodlice and centipedes in the basement

They usually live under damp leaves and boards. If they get inside, it’s because the threshold, the French drain, or the perimeter of the foundation is trapping water. We fix the perimeter before applying a barrier.

Marmots and skunks under sheds, porches, and concrete slabs

A marmot digs a burrow with multiple exits, weakening the structures it passes through. A skunk settles into a space thirty centimeters below a tunnel. Closing off the area too soon traps the animal inside and creates an even worse problem. We confirm that the occupants have left before fencing off the entire perimeter.

Our commitments

Tracing · Waterproofing · Testing

Location

Before the product comes the mapping. We mark each opening we find on a floor plan of the building, noting its location and approximate size.

Waterproofing

Stainless-steel mesh, mortar, weatherstripping, and drain grate: anything that closes mechanically won’t reopen during the next rainstorm.

Evidence

Photos of the repaired areas, a map with numbered stations, and a dated log. You’ll have everything you need to show your homeowners’ association the work that was done.

Brossard Pest Control FAQ

The price is determined after the inspection. A service call to control brown rats in a bungalow in Sector B—which includes checking the check valve and installing wire mesh over entry points—is not comparable to a commercial contract on Boulevard du Quartier that involves a logbook and numbered stations. We’ll give you a price quote before we start—call 1-866-499-6996.

A rat spotted inside takes priority over the rest, because the entry point is already open. An ant nest under a garage entrance can wait a few days without any consequences. We prioritize based on actual risk, not on the order in which calls are received.

Provisional Regulation REG-486-R applies to Sectors A, B, and P, where underground infrastructure from the 1960s is prone to leaks and cross-connections. This is a sewer-related matter, not a pest control regulation, and the City remains the authority on the matter. For our part, we use it as a guideline: in these sectors, we systematically check the floor drain and the check valve.

The easiest way: look at the name of your street. In most cases, it begins with the letter corresponding to your sector, and parks follow the same rule. A few streets are exceptions to this system, such as Grande Allée, Montée Gobeil, and Boulevard du Quartier.

First, dry and disinfect the area, then have the check valve inspected. A backup leaves behind organic matter in places that no one cleans: under the drain cover, in the sump, and behind basement furniture. This is what attracts Oriental cockroaches in the weeks that follow. We inspect these three areas.

Yes. Around the Brossard, Du Quartier, and Panama stations, condominiums are the norm, and the service must cover the common areas: trash chutes, underground parking, and maintenance rooms. We work with the homeowners’ association rather than on a unit-by-unit basis, and the report goes to the building manager.

The Bois-de-Brossard Nature Reserve covers more than 400 hectares. Living on its edge means you’ll have ground-dwelling insects and burrowing mammals visiting your property. The solution isn’t to treat the wooded area, but to make the perimeter unattractive to them: stack firewood off the ground, install watertight thresholds, and build a shed on a concrete slab.

Yes, even outside of business hours. Restaurants and food retailers require a dated log and a map of the stations, which we leave on site after each visit.

Because the problem has shifted beneath the surface. With only 4.2% of homes built before 1961 and a major repair rate of 5.1%, the visible structure is in good condition. What’s aging here are the pipes and connections. A technician who only looks at the walls is missing the point.
