Licensed bilingual exterminators serving Montreal & the South Shore. Aprehend biopesticide or chemical treatment, professional inspection, follow-up included.
Bed bugs are small, flat, reddish-brown insects that feed on blood at night. Most people notice signs before seeing the bugs themselves.
Bed bug bites typically appear in straight lines or zigzag patterns of 3-5 bites, often on arms, back, neck, or legs. Itching may be delayed by hours or days.
Tiny rust-colored stains on your sheets, pillowcases, or mattress edges — often caused by bugs being crushed after feeding.
Small black or dark brown spots (about the size of a pencil dot) along mattress seams, box spring corners, and headboards.
Bed bugs molt as they grow. You may find translucent, light-brown shells in mattress folds, between cushions, or in cracks near sleeping areas.
Adult bed bugs are roughly apple-seed sized, flat, oval, and reddish-brown. They hide in seams, cracks, and behind baseboards during the day.
Heavy infestations produce a distinctive sweet, musty smell from the bugs' scent glands — often noticed near beds in severely affected rooms.
Inspection first. We don't guess — we confirm and explain your options before any treatment begins.
Trained inspector confirms bed bugs, identifies entry points and harborage areas, assesses severity, and walks you through treatment options.
Aprehend biopesticide treatment (Beauveria bassiana fungal spores, long-lasting residual effect over 7-10 days) or targeted chemical treatment (faster contact kill, multiple visits). We explain re-entry times and preparation requirements clearly.
Verification visit to confirm eradication. If the verification shows anything wasn't fully resolved by the initial treatment, we address it on that visit.

Common questions before you book.
Common signs: bites in lines or clusters (often on arms, back, or legs), small blood spots on sheets, dark fecal stains along mattress seams, shed exoskeletons, and the bugs themselves — flat, reddish-brown, about apple-seed sized. If you're unsure, our inspector will confirm before any treatment recommendation.
Yes, same-day inspection is available across Montreal and the South Shore when scheduled by mid-afternoon. Call 438-879-5706 for current availability.
Our technicians follow Quebec regulations including re-entry times that vary by product used. Specific re-entry guidance is provided per treatment based on the products applied.
Both work. Aprehend uses Beauveria bassiana fungal spores that infect bed bugs as they walk through treated areas — long residual effect, biology-based. Chemical treatment uses targeted insecticides for faster contact kill, typically over multiple visits. The right choice depends on infestation severity, your living situation, and household preferences. Our inspector explains both during the visit.
An initial chemical treatment takes 1-3 hours depending on unit size. Aprehend application takes 2-4 hours and develops full effect over 7-10 days as the fungal spores infect the bed bug population. Follow-up visits are usually 30-60 minutes.
Our team provides a preparation checklist when you book. Typical preparation includes washing all bedding on hot, vacuuming mattresses and floors, decluttering, and moving furniture away from walls. Specific instructions vary by treatment type.
Treatment includes a follow-up verification visit to confirm the work was effective. We don't sell extended warranty periods — we focus on doing the job right the first time. If the verification visit shows something wasn't fully resolved by the initial treatment, we address it on that visit.
