The Complete Guide to Cockroach Extermination in Montreal & Surrounding Areas

What Every Homeowner Needs to Know About These Unwelcome Intruders

So, What Are Cockroaches Exactly?

Cockroaches are among the most persistent and unsanitary pests that invade homes and businesses across Montreal, Laval, and surrounding regions. These nocturnal insects are known for their rapid reproduction, stealthy behavior, and ability to spread bacteria and allergens, making them a serious concern for property owners.

The most common species found in Quebec include the German cockroach, American cockroach, and Oriental cockroach. They vary in size from 12 mm (German) to over 40 mm (American), and typically have flat, oval-shaped bodies with long antennae and fast-moving legs. Most cockroaches are brown to reddish-brown in color and prefer to remain hidden in warm, moist environments.

Cockroach Biology & Behavior

Cockroaches are highly adaptable and reproduce quickly, allowing infestations to escalate fast. Their biology includes:

• Eggs (Oothecae): Encased in protective capsules, each can contain 30–40 nymphs. Females deposit these in hidden areas.

• Nymphs: Juvenile cockroaches that molt several times before reaching adulthood.

• Adults: Capable of reproducing and often remain hidden during the day.

Life Cycle:
The full development from egg to adult can take just 2–4 months, depending on temperature and humidity. A single female can produce hundreds of offspring in a year.

Where Cockroaches Hide

Cockroaches are attracted to food, water, and warmth — making kitchens, bathrooms, and basements prime real estate. Common hiding places include:

• Under sinks, stoves, and refrigerators

• Inside cupboards and cabinets

• Behind baseboards and wall cracks

• In drains, garbage areas, and appliances

• Inside electronics and cluttered storage spaces

They’re also capable of spreading between units in multi-family dwellings, making apartments and condos especially vulnerable.

Why Cockroaches Are a Serious Problem for Homeowners

Cockroaches are more than just an eyesore. Here’s why they’re a health and hygiene hazard:

🦠 Disease Spreaders: They contaminate food and surfaces with pathogens like Salmonella, E. coli, and parasitic worms.

😷 Allergy Triggers: Their droppings, shed skins, and saliva are major allergens — especially harmful for asthma sufferers.

🕳️ Hard to Spot: Nocturnal and fast-moving, they hide in dark crevices and reproduce out of sight.

🚫 DIY Treatments Often Fail: Store-bought sprays may kill visible bugs but leave eggs and nests intact, allowing infestations to bounce back stronger.

Signs of a Cockroach Infestation

If you live in Montreal, the South Shore, or North Shore, be alert for these warning signs:

• Droppings: Small, black, pepper-like specks found in cupboards or along baseboards

• Egg Cases (Oothecae): Brown, cylindrical casings found behind furniture or appliances

• Unpleasant Odor: A musty, oily smell that intensifies with larger infestations

• Shed Skins: As nymphs grow, they leave behind light-colored molted shells

• Sightings: Cockroaches scurrying at night — or in daylight, which may indicate a large infestation
