Delson has 8,328 residents as of the 2021 census and is part of Roussillon RCM. Incorporated in 1918 and a town since 1957, it covers only 7.7 km². Its name is a contraction of Delaware & Hudson, the American railway company whose line ended here. The town borders the river to the northeast, the rivière de la Tortue and rivière Saint-Pierre cross it, and route 132 links it to its neighbours. The gare Delson is on the Candiac commuter line, the parc industriel Champlain hosts several employers, and autoroute 15 and autoroute 30 run close by.
A small town, several settings
Rail lines, an industrial park, rivers and residential neighbourhoods sit side by side on a very compact territory. Each setting has its pests, and in Delson they are never far from the houses.
The most common pests in Delson
Mice. In the fall, mice from the riverbanks and nearby land look for shelter in houses. See the entry points to seal against mice from the riverbanks.
Rats. Dumpsters, pallets and docks in the parc industriel Champlain give Norway rats food and shelter. On residential streets, they follow accessible food.
Carpenter ants. Near the rivière de la Tortue and rivière Saint-Pierre, damp outdoor wood attracts colonies. See the steps for finding a carpenter ant nest.
Wasps. Soffits, hedges and garden sheds host wasp nests from June to September.
Businesses in the industrial park
For a warehouse or business in the parc industriel Champlain, rat control means a written program: a clear perimeter, numbered stations, activity reports. See the page on warehouses and industrial buildings.
The local calendar
- April to June: carpenter ants near the rivers.

- September to November: mice.
- Year-round: rats around food sources.
The work and the timing
In Delson, order matters for rodents: inspect the perimeter, remove food sources, seal, then set traps or locked stations and follow up. For a building in the parc industriel Champlain, the same logic becomes a written program with numbered stations. No timeline is guaranteed on this site.

Frequently asked questions
Do the rail lines and industrial park attract rats?
Warehouses, docks and dumpsters in the parc industriel Champlain offer Norway rats food and shelter. On residential streets they remain uncommon and mostly follow accessible food: compost, garbage, feeders.
Why does such a small town have so many different pests?
Delson packs rail lines, an industrial park, two rivers and residential neighbourhoods into 7.7 km². Each of those settings brings its own pests, all close to the houses.
Do homes near the rivière de la Tortue have carpenter ants?
Outdoor wood that stays damp near the river attracts colonies. Have decks, sills and wood stacked near the foundation checked, especially in spring.
Does a business in the industrial park need a pest program?
A warehouse or business handling food is often required to have a documented program. See the page on warehouses and industrial buildings for what an auditor looks at.
When should I seal against mice in Delson?
In late summer, before the first cold nights of September: that is when mice from the riverbanks and nearby land look for shelter.
Will a rat seen near the rail lines get into my house?
Not necessarily. Norway rats stay near their food and their burrow. What brings one toward a house is open compost, reachable garbage or shelter under a deck or shed.
Are the houses near the station different?
The building stock is varied and the lots smaller, but the entry points are the same: foundation, utility entries, garage door bottom. That is where a mouse-free season is won.
