Central publishes its environment ministry permit number on its site, says its technicians hold the CD5 pesticide certificate, and is an AQGP member. It uses unmarked vehicles for discretion and gives free estimates. It holds 4.9 stars from 168 Google reviews.

Editorial Review

Our Take on Central Extermination

One of the oldest independent exterminators in Montreal, with a published permit number and a second-generation owner. Its site has no real photos of the team, which is the main gap.

Company Background

About Central Extermination

Central Extermination is a family business based at 6540 Avenue Papineau in Rosemont, La Petite-Patrie, where it has been since 1980. Silvio and Carmela Pulcini founded it, and their son Frank Pulcini took over in 2005 when they retired. That history matters in a city full of century-old plexes, where mice and cockroaches move between units and a quick spray rarely ends the problem.

The service list covers mice and rats, cockroaches, bed bugs, carpenter and pharaoh ants, silverfish, carpet beetles, fleas and ticks, plus wasp and bee nests. Central says it uses products approved by the Quebec environment ministry and gives its business permit number on the site: 402512345, category C5. It adds that its technicians hold the CD5 certificate for pesticide application, and that the company belongs to the Association Quebecoise de la Gestion Parasitaire. Estimates are free, the work is guaranteed, and the trucks are unmarked, which some condo owners and landlords will appreciate.

Central Extermination holds 4.9 stars from 168 Google reviews, read November 11, 2026. Reviewers mention Riccardo, also called Ricky, for careful inspections and a follow-up visit three weeks later, and Franco and Frank for staying on the phone until every question was answered. A condo board wrote that it hired Central twice, eight years apart. Several reviewers say their mice were gone after two visits.

Central suits homeowners and plex owners on the island who want an established local firm with a permit number they can check. It suits people outside Montreal, Laval and the South Shore less well. Before booking, ask what the guarantee covers for your pest and how many visits are included. The office opens weekdays 8 to 8 and Saturday mornings.
