Managing agents (syndics), landlords, hotels and Airbnb hosts in Pontault-Combault: one contact for common areas and flats, coordinated visits and a written report after each one.
Local ground: Seine-et-Marne
The largest and most agricultural département in the region, Seine-et-Marne alternates fields, forests and market towns. When the cold sets in, rats and field mice leave the crops for barns, garages and houses, and Asian hornets build their nests high in the trees.
In Pontault-Combault, this context shapes the inspection: where to look for the first signs, which entry points to check first.
Signs to look for at home
- 01Clustered or lined-up bites noticed on waking
- 02Black dots along mattress seams and labels
- 03Small blood spots on the sheets
- 04Pale shed skins in the cracks of the bed base
Recognise one of these signs? Note where you saw it: the technician will start there.
Bed bug treatment: what the technician does
Areas and situations covered
- Bedding: mattress, base, headboard
- Sofas, armchairs and cushions
- Skirting, power sockets and picture frames
- Houses and flats
- Hotels and aparthotels
- Furnished lets rented by the night
Bed bugs are not a sign of poor hygiene: they arrive in a suitcase, a second-hand piece of furniture or a bag of laundry. By day they hide in mattress seams, bed-frame joints, behind a headboard or a skirting board, and only come out at night to feed.
After a room-by-room inspection, the technician treats with very hot dry steam, which kills eggs and adults on contact, then applies an approved insecticide only in the refuges he has found. When you book you receive a preparation sheet (bedding washed at 60 °C, sealed bags), and a follow-up visit is scheduled about two weeks later to deal with any hatchlings.
Sentinel Protocol
Four stages, in this order, in Pontault-Combault 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
Every bed, piece of furniture and skirting board examined by torch, hotspots and unaffected rooms identified.
Step 2
Treat
Dry steam on mattresses, bed bases and fabrics, approved insecticide in cracks and refuges only, no room-wide spraying.
Step 3
Sanitise
Full encasements where needed, instructions for laundry and luggage, unaffected rooms kept separate so the bugs don't spread there.
Step 4
Follow up
Follow-up visit built into the protocol after the hatching period, photo report and advice on staying actively vigilant.
Pontault-Combault: your questions before booking
Do you come out to Pontault-Combault?
Yes: Pontault-Combault (77340) is within our area, like the rest of Seine-et-Marne and Île-de-France. Two-hour slots run from 8 am to 8 pm, seven days a week.
Is the price different in Pontault-Combault?
No, it is the same across Île-de-France: from €213 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 Meaux and Chelles?
Yes. Meaux, Chelles and Melun: these towns in Seine-et-Marne are covered on the same terms as Pontault-Combault, 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 Pontault-Combault, treatment applied, entry points sealed or still to seal, and advice to limit the risk of a return.
Do I have to get rid of the mattress?
Rarely. Dry steam followed by a full encasement is enough in most cases. We only suggest replacing a mattress if it is torn, because bed bugs can then hide inside, out of the treatment's reach.
How do I prepare my home before the visit?
Wash bedding and any washable clothes at 60 °C, store them in sealed bags, clear the area around the beds and along the skirting boards, and vacuum, throwing the bag away straight after. The full checklist is emailed to you when you book.
