Local context: Montréal
Why rats are common in Montréal
Montreal presents Quebec's widest range of pest situations: century-old Plateau duplexes and triplexes, modern downtown condos, single-family homes in residential neighborhoods (Ahuntsic, Saint-Léonard, Anjou). Density creates specific challenges: cockroaches in apartment buildings, bed bugs in tourist zones, growing rat issues in several boroughs. KZ Extermination serves all island boroughs.
The Norway rat (brown rat or sewer rat) has become a growing problem in Greater Montreal since 2020. Bigger, smarter and more dangerous than the mouse, it digs tunnels under foundations, contaminates food storage areas, and transmits leptospirosis, salmonella and rarely hantavirus. A rat infestation is an emergency — their reproduction and trap-shyness make this a pest only a professional protocol can eliminate.
How to detect them
Signs of rats infestation in Montréal
- Capsule-shaped droppings up to 2 cm long
- Burrows near foundation, compost or shed
- Loud scratching sounds in walls or under floor
- Greasy trails along interior or exterior walls
- Deep gnawing on wood, PVC, soft metal
Our intervention
Professional method in Montréal
Rat intervention requires a reinforced protocol. Phase 1: inspection of exterior burrows and activity points, deployment of maximum-security tamper-proof bait stations and industrial mechanical traps. Phase 2: adjustment visits at 7 and 14 days (included in the rat protocol). Phase 3: exclusion diagnosis — locating and marking burrows, openings > 1.5 cm and weak points, with a materials recommendation report (galvanized metal mesh, mortar) that you or your contractor can seal. A monthly maintenance program with reports is available for businesses at a separate fee.
Prevention
Prevent their return
- Eliminate exterior water sources (containers, blocked gutters)
- Keep compost in sealed, off-ground bins
- Cut dense vegetation near the house
- Seal openings over 1.5 cm
- Regularly inspect foundations for burrows
