What an Exterminator Costs in Montreal: the 5 Factors That Set the Price
Nobody can quote a price over the phone without seeing the site. Here are the five variables that actually determine the bill, and the corresponding ranges.

Access, scheduling, and being on site in Lachine
A failed flea & Tick Treatment treatment is often a treatment cut short. The dwelling must be empty of occupants and pets during application and for the indicated drying time — generally four to six hours for a chemical treatment. Aquariums must be covered and their pumps switched off. We ask for clear access to every room, including closets and the basement. In Lachine, a significant share of missed appointments comes down to a key that could not be found or an occupant who had to come back: those visits are billed anyway, so they are worth avoiding. For wasp nests and commercial work we operate in the evening or before opening — the only window when the whole colony is present, or when food preparation areas are clear.
Follow-up: how we know it is settled
The closing criterion is never "the occupants no longer see anything." It is the absence of captures on monitoring traps across two consecutive readings. The distinction matters, because a residual population easily spends three weeks under the radar before becoming visible again — and a Lachine dwelling declared clear too early is one that calls back three months later. For a flea & Tick Treatment treatment we place monitoring devices at the travel points identified during the inspection, then return to read them on a schedule set in advance rather than at random. Follow-up is included in the initial quote: it is not an extra visit to be sold to you later, it is the second half of the job.
Preventing a return after treatment
Reinfestation is almost never a product failure: it is an entry point left open or an attraction source never removed. After a flea & Tick Treatment treatment in Lachine, we hand over a list of fixes ranked by priority and cost, separating what you can do yourself from what requires a trade. For rental buildings and businesses, we add a dated intervention log — a document regularly required during a municipal inspection or a tenant dispute. Property owners across Island of Montreal can also subscribe to a seasonal preventive program with scheduled visits.
Costs, timelines, and guarantee in Lachine
The price of a flea & Tick Treatment treatment depends on three variables: the area to cover, the number of units involved, and how much preparation is already done. That is exactly why we do not quote over the phone without seeing the site — a blind number always ends up being revised. The inspection is free and the resulting quote is firm. The usual lead time in Lachine is 24 to 72 hours depending on the season, with priority given to emergencies and food businesses. All our treatments carry a results guarantee: if activity resumes within the covered period, we come back at no charge.
