Your home first, then your business

Households

In Yvelines, many people live in character houses in millstone or stone, homes on the edge of the forest and residences set in parkland. Tenant or owner, you book your own slot in Versailles; the technician inspects your home, then whatever touches it: cellar, landing, garden or garage.

Businesses

Shop, restaurant, office or apartment building in Versailles: timing fits around your business and the photo report can be shown during a health inspection. For regular visits, a prevention contract is priced after a first visit.

Local ground: Yvelines

Large forests, loops of the Seine and old stone buildings: in the Yvelines, wasps readily nest under roofs and inside walls, dormice move into lofts and mice settle in crawl spaces.

The same pointers apply around Versailles, in Sartrouville, Saint-Germain-en-Laye and Poissy.

Signs to look for at home

  1. 01Brown insects that scatter as soon as the light goes on
  2. 02Tiny black specks, like ground pepper, in hinges and corners
  3. 03Brown egg cases under a centimetre long beneath furniture
  4. 04A stale, lingering smell in a closed cupboard

Recognise one of these signs? Note where you saw it: the technician will start there.

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 Versailles as everywhere else

The technician treats nothing before understanding the problem, and does not leave without sealing or flagging the entry points.

  1. Step 1

    Inspect

    Monitoring traps and a check of motors, hinges, skirting and ducts to locate harbourages and gauge the extent.

  2. Step 2

    Treat

    Gel bait in precise spots inside harbourages, a growth regulator in breeding areas, ducts treated if needed.

  3. Step 3

    Sanitise

    Seals redone around pipes, duct openings proofed, advice on cleaning and storing food.

  4. 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.

Versailles: your questions before booking

Do I need to be there during the visit in Versailles?

+

Yes, you or someone you trust: the technician needs access to the rooms, cellar or premises concerned, and explains what they found before leaving.

Is the price different in Versailles?

+

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 Sartrouville and Saint-Germain-en-Laye?

+

Yes. Sartrouville, Saint-Germain-en-Laye and Poissy: these towns in Yvelines are covered on the same terms as Versailles, 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 Versailles, 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.
