The Hidden Dangers of Rats in Montreal
Health Risks

- Contaminate food and water sources, increasing the risk of foodborne illnesses.
- Their droppings and urine contribute to poor indoor air quality and respiratory issues.
Property Damage

- Destroy insulation and wooden structures, leading to costly repairs.
- Compromise drainage and plumbing systems, allowing further infestation.
Plumbing Smoke Test: A Game-Changer in Rodent Detection
One of the most effective methods of identifying rat entry points is the plumbing smoke test. Rats often use sewer systems and underground pipes as hidden pathways to infiltrate buildings.
How the Smoke Test Works
- Non-toxic smoke is pushed through drainage and sewer pipes.
- The smoke escapes through cracks, gaps, or unsealed pipes, identifying hidden entry points.
- Our experts seal detected vulnerabilities to prevent future infestations.
Common Causes of Rat Infestations in Montreal
- Structural Gaps & Openings: Rats enter through cracks in foundations, walls, and roofs.
- Unsealed Drains & Pipes: Sewer systems provide direct pathways for rodents.
- Improper Waste Management: Restaurants, food manufacturers, and residential properties with unsecured garbage attract rodents.
- Poor Sanitation & Clutter: Cluttered areas give rats perfect nesting spots.
