Sainte-Julie has 30,045 residents as of the 2021 census and is part of Marguerite-D’Youville RCM. The town sits on the north flank of mont Saint-Bruno. Long a rural dairy community, it grew quickly from the mid-1960s with the construction of the autoroute Jean-Lesage, autoroute 20, which crosses its south; autoroute 30 crosses its west. Several farms (terres agricoles) nonetheless remain among the residential development.
Neighbourhoods between the mountain and the farms
Two neighbours shape Sainte-Julie’s pests: the farmland that remains between neighbourhoods, and the woods on the flank of Mont Saint-Bruno. Town parks such as parc des Étangs-Antoine-Charlebois, parc Edmour-J.-Harvey and the Arboretum Pierre-Steben add natural spaces right inside the neighbourhoods. The Électrium, Hydro-Québec’s interpretation centre, is one of its best-known landmarks.
The most common pests in Sainte-Julie
Mice. Homes next to farmland get the mice leaving the fields after harvest. Sealing the foundation before the end of September is the most cost-effective step.
Carpenter ants. On the wooded flank of Mont Saint-Bruno, stumps and dead wood feed carpenter ant colonies, which then settle in the damp wood of nearby houses.
Wasps. Soffits, decks and sheds of homes built since the 1960s host wasp nests in summer.
Asian lady beetles. Sunny walls facing open farmland attract Asian lady beetles in the fall.
The local calendar
- April to June: carpenter ants; the start of tick season in wooded areas.
- June to September: wasps, and mosquitoes near ponds and wetlands.
- Late September to November: mice and Asian lady beetles, as the harvest comes in.
- Winter: mice already inside basements.
The work and the timing
In Sainte-Julie, the sequence depends on the immediate surroundings: against the woodlot, the carpenter ant nest is looked for outside first; at the edge of the fields, the envelope is sealed before fall, then traps are set. In both cases, a follow-up visit confirms the result. No timeline is guaranteed here.

Frequently asked questions
Why does Sainte-Julie have so many mice in the fall?
Several farms remain between residential neighbourhoods. After harvest, the mice living there move toward nearby houses just as the nights turn cold. Homes next to that farmland are the most exposed.
Do homes near Mont Saint-Bruno get more carpenter ants?
The town sits on the north flank of Mont Saint-Bruno, and wooded areas give the main colony stumps and dead wood. Houses bordering those woods, with exterior wood several decades old, are more exposed.
Did the construction of Highway 20 change anything?
It mainly sped up residential growth from the mid-1960s. Much of the housing is therefore several decades old today, with foundations and exterior wood that have had time to age.
Do parks like parc des Étangs-Antoine-Charlebois attract pests?
Wetlands and wooded areas mostly attract mosquitoes in summer and, in tall grass, ticks. For nearby homes, clearing vegetation around the yard reduces the risk.
Are houses on the flank of Mont Saint-Bruno more affected?
Those touching the woodlot mostly get carpenter ants, whose main nest often stays in the nearby forest. Mice add to it in the fall, when nights get colder.
Does the farmland between neighbourhoods change anything?
Yes. Houses bordering those fields get mice as soon as the harvest ends, and exposed walls draw Asian lady beetles in October. Sealing is therefore planned for August.
