Certified exterminators: bed bugs, cockroaches, mice, rats, ants & wasps

Pest infestations are not always visible to the naked eye. In many cases, cockroaches, bed bugs, mice, rats and other pests hide behind the walls, under the floors, in the ceilings or inside the building’s structures. That is why, at SOS Extermination, we use the thermal camera to pinpoint hidden activity zones more precisely.

This advanced technology lets us offer more complete inspections and far more targeted treatments for residential and commercial properties in Montreal.

What is a thermal camera?

A thermal camera, also called an infrared camera or thermography, is a device that detects temperature variations inside walls, ceilings, floors and other structures.

In the extermination field, this technology helps spot:

Hidden pest activity

Nesting areas

Movement inside the walls

Moisture that encourages infestations

Spaces where pests hide

Unlike a traditional inspection, the thermal camera makes it possible to identify invisible areas without having to open the walls or take apart certain structures.

Detection by pest

Bed bug detection with a thermal camera

Bed bugs are very hard to detect in the early stages of an infestation.

They can hide:

Behind headboards
In cracks
Under furniture
Inside the walls
Inside the bed frame

With the thermal camera, it is sometimes possible to identify the areas where activity is heaviest in order to better target the treatment.

Hidden cockroach detection

Cockroaches often hide:

Behind appliances
Inside the walls
Under cabinets
Around ducts and pipes
In damp, warm spaces

The thermal camera helps locate the areas where infestations are most active, especially in apartments and multi-unit buildings.

Rat and mouse detection inside the walls

Rats and mice often travel through:

Ceilings
Walls
Basements
Attics
Utility spaces

When they are hidden, it can be hard to identify their exact location.

The thermal camera helps spot activity zones in certain situations in order to better target treatments and inspections.

Ant detection with a thermal camera

At SOS Extermination, we also use the thermal camera to help locate certain hidden activity zones inside walls, ceilings and structures that are hard to reach.

This advanced technology can sometimes detect:

Damp areas that attract ants
Hidden activity inside the walls
Temperature variations linked to colonies
Spaces favourable to nesting

Thermography is particularly useful in:

Older Montreal buildings
Condos and apartments
Duplexes and triplexes
Businesses and restaurants
Buildings with closed walls that are hard to inspect

Why SOS Extermination uses the thermal camera

At SOS Extermination, we believe that effective extermination always starts with a precise, thorough inspection. Many pests such as cockroaches, bed bugs, rats, mice and ants hide in hard-to-reach places where a standard visual inspection can sometimes miss important areas.

That is why we use the thermal camera, to offer a more modern, more precise and more professional approach to detecting hidden infestations in Montreal.

More precise detection of hidden infestations

The thermal camera makes it possible to identify certain anomalies and activity zones that can be invisible during a traditional inspection.

This technology helps detect:

Activity behind the walls
Infested areas in the ceilings
Spaces that are hard to reach
Damp areas that attract pests
Possible pest movement

This gives a better understanding of the real scope of the problem.

Faster identification of problem areas

Hidden infestations can sometimes take a long time to locate with a standard visual inspection.

Thanks to thermography, we can often:

Cut down inspection time
Spot certain active areas more quickly
Identify infestation hot spots that are hard to see
Speed up the diagnostic process

That speed also lets us step in more effectively before the infestation spreads any further.

More targeted and effective treatments

Better detection makes it possible to apply treatments in a much more strategic way.

Instead of needlessly treating several areas, we can focus the intervention on:

Nests
Active zones
Entry points
Spots that help pests reproduce

This approach often improves the overall effectiveness of the treatment and helps reduce the risk of a comeback.

Fewer unnecessary interventions

In many cases, the thermal camera helps limit unnecessary openings in the walls or ceilings.

This can make it possible to:

Reduce some damage to structures
Avoid unnecessary work
Preserve interior finishes
Simplify certain complex inspections

This approach is especially useful in condos, apartments and commercial buildings.

Ideal technology for residential and commercial buildings

Pests often move between several units in:

Apartments
Duplexes and triplexes
Condos
Restaurants
Businesses
Rental buildings

The thermal camera helps us better analyze these complex environments where infestations can travel behind walls, ceilings and utility ducts.

More effective detection of several types of pests

This technology can be useful for detecting certain activity linked to:

Cockroaches
Bed bugs
Rats
Mice
Ants
Damp areas that encourage infestations

It is used as a complementary tool to improve the overall quality of the inspection.

A more modern and professional approach

At SOS Extermination, our goal is to offer lasting, professional solutions suited to every situation.

Using the thermal camera is part of our commitment to providing:

More complete inspections
Better precision
More effective treatments
An advanced technological approach
Quality professional service

This technology is one of the things that set our professional approach apart in Montreal.

Je gère plusieurs immeubles et j'ai trouvé SOS Extermination via leur calculateur de prix en ligne. Super pratique. J'avais une grosse urgence de fourmis charpentières dans un bloc sur le Plateau-Mont-Royal. Je les ai appelés et en même pas 24h, Oussama était sur place avec sa caméra thermique. C'était impressionnant de voir tous les nids satellites cachés dans les murs ! Bonne job les gars, merci

On a eu une grosse invasion de fourmis charpentières dans mon triplex à Rosemont dernièrement. Il y en avait vraiment partout, même des grosses avec des ailes qui volaient ! J'ai appelé l'équipe de SOS Extermination et honnêtement, ils ont réglé le problème comme par magie. Il n'y a plus aucune trace. Un super bon service, je les recommande sans hésiter.

My neighbour recommended Sos-extermination for our carpenter ant problem here in the West Island. Honestly I'm so glad I listened to her! We were freaking out but they passed by super fast to do the treatment. Since then there hasnt been a single trace of them, they completly disappeared.

Excellent service le propriétaire et son équipe travaille avec tant de professionnalisme et de bienveillance. On voit qu'il savent et qu'ils sont des experts dans le domaine. Les prix sont abordables, ils peuvent accomoder les payments (plan de payment). Ils mon offert une garantie de plus puisque mon cas étais un peu complexe…

Après avoir essayé d'autres compagnies sans succès pour des fourmis charpentières dans mon triplex à Ahuntsic, j'ai trouvé SOS. Déjà, leur calculateur de prix en ligne est super transparent ! Oussama et Yannick sont venus et j'ai capoté : leur caméra thermique voit directement dans les murs ! Problème réglé en quelques jours. J'ai attendu la fin de ma garantie d'un an pour faire cet avis…

Le meilleur service de gestion parasitaire dans Hochelaga Est et le reste de Montréal. En tant que gestionnaire, j'apprécie leur transparence : le calculateur de prix virtuel donne un devis fixe en 60 secondes. Pas de niaisage. Pour les fourmis charpentières et les rats, ils utilisent la caméra thermique (incluse partout) pour trouver l'humidité et les nids cachés…
