Your home first, then your business

Households

Your flat or house in Argenteuil is never cut off from the rest of the building. The technician also looks at how the pest reaches you, and tells you what falls to you, your landlord or the co-owners.

Businesses

Shop, restaurant, office or apartment building in Argenteuil: 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: Val-d'Oise

Val-d'Oise stretches from the fields of the Vexin to the neighbourhoods of Cergy-Pontoise and the surroundings of Roissy airport. Crop rodents, hornets along forest edges and cockroaches in apartment blocks are all found there.

Mapping the entry points in Argenteuil (95100) reflects these local specifics.

Signs to look for at home

  1. 01Small black droppings, a few millimetres long for a mouse, one to two centimetres for a rat
  2. 02Scurrying or scratching at night inside a ceiling or wall
  3. 03Greasy smears along skirting boards at running height
  4. 04Gnawed bags, electrical cables or insulation

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

Rodent control: rats and mice: what the technician does

Areas and situations covered

  • Norway rat (brown rat)
  • Black rat
  • House mouse
  • Wood mouse
  • Cellars, basements and car parks
  • Kitchens, bin stores and back rooms
  • Lofts, ceiling voids and partition walls
  • Gardens, courtyards and the base of walls

Rodents rarely get in by chance. A rat can squeeze through a gap of about two centimetres, a mouse through a hole the width of a pencil. In a flat, a house or a shop stockroom, the question is not only "how many are there?" but "how are they getting in?".

The technician follows the tracks back to the entry points: pipe openings, ducts, gaps under doors, drains, cellar vents. He then sets locked bait stations, or snap traps wherever food is handled, and seals the openings he has found. The follow-up visit checks bait take and the condition of the repairs.

Sentinel Protocol

Four stages, in this order, in Argenteuil 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

    Droppings and runs recorded, ducts, traps and cellar vents examined, wall cavities checked with a camera when useful.

  2. Step 2

    Treat

    Rodent control with locked bait stations children and pets cannot reach, or snap traps in food areas.

  3. Step 3

    Sanitise

    Holes packed with steel wool and mortar, grilles on vents, brush door sweeps, soiled areas cleaned and storage advice given.

  4. Step 4

    Follow up

    Follow-up visit built into the protocol: every station checked, photos of the repairs, recommendations to stay actively vigilant.

Argenteuil: your questions before booking

Do you come out to Argenteuil?

+

Yes: Argenteuil (95100) is within our area, like the rest of Val-d'Oise and Île-de-France. Two-hour slots run from 8 am to 8 pm, seven days a week.

Is the price different in Argenteuil?

+

No, it is the same across Île-de-France: from €111 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 Cergy and Sarcelles?

+

Yes. Cergy, Sarcelles and Garges-lès-Gonesse: these towns in Val-d'Oise are covered on the same terms as Argenteuil, 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 Argenteuil, treatment applied, entry points sealed or still to seal, and advice to limit the risk of a return.

How soon does the activity die down?

+

Noise and tracks usually drop noticeably in the days after the stations are set, as the rodents feed on the bait. The follow-up visit, 10 to 15 days later, checks that progress and adjusts the set-up if needed.

Why do mice so often come back in autumn?

+

As temperatures fall, mice look for warmth and food and slip in through the smallest gap. That is why we seal the entry points we find: an opening left as it is remains a doorway for the next season.
