Cockroach removal: what the technician does
Areas and situations covered
- German cockroach
- Oriental cockroach
- Kitchens, appliances and cupboards
- Bathrooms and shared risers
- Rubbish chutes, cellars and bin stores
- Restaurants, bakeries and food trades
The German cockroach (Blattella germanica) is the species most often found in kitchens and bathrooms, in homes and restaurants alike. It seeks warmth and moisture: appliance motors, cupboard hinges, the space behind skirting, service ducts. In a block of flats it moves from one home to the next along the water risers.
Gel bait is applied in small dots in those harbourages; cockroaches that eat it then pass it on to others through contact and droppings. An insect growth regulator can complete the treatment where they breed. Because the egg case (ootheca) shields the eggs, a follow-up visit is planned once they have hatched.
Sentinel Protocol
Four stages, in this order, in Mantes-la-Jolie as everywhere else
The technician treats nothing before understanding the problem, and does not leave without sealing or flagging the entry points.
Step 1
Inspect
Monitoring traps and a check of motors, hinges, skirting and ducts to locate harbourages and gauge the extent.
Step 2
Treat
Gel bait in precise spots inside harbourages, a growth regulator in breeding areas, ducts treated if needed.
Step 3
Sanitise
Seals redone around pipes, duct openings proofed, advice on cleaning and storing food.
Step 4
Follow up
Follow-up visit as set out in the protocol after the egg cases hatch, fresh monitoring traps and a photo report.
Mantes-la-Jolie: your questions before booking
Do you come out to Mantes-la-Jolie?
Yes: Mantes-la-Jolie (78200) is within our area, like the rest of Yvelines and Île-de-France. Two-hour slots run from 8 am to 8 pm, seven days a week.

No, it is the same across Île-de-France: from €132 incl. VAT for a first visit, then adjusted for floor area and number of visits. You see the total before paying.
Do you also work in Saint-Germain-en-Laye and Poissy?
Yes. Saint-Germain-en-Laye, Poissy and Versailles: these towns in Yvelines are covered on the same terms as Mantes-la-Jolie, with the same price and the same protocol.
What do I get after the treatment?
The same day, a photo report by email: signs found in Mantes-la-Jolie, treatment applied, entry points sealed or still to seal, and advice to limit the risk of a return.
Should I use an insecticide spray before your visit?
No, quite the opposite: sprays drive cockroaches into the walls and make the gel less appealing. Stop using them a few days before the visit and do not go back to them afterwards.
Where do cockroaches come from in a well-kept flat?
Most often from a neighbouring home, through shared ducts and water risers, or from a cardboard box, a second-hand appliance or a shopping bag. Cleanliness limits their food but does not stop them arriving.
