Your home first, then your business

Households

In Seine-et-Marne, many people live in houses with gardens, old farmhouses, newer homes and garages opening onto the countryside. Tenant or owner, you book your own slot in Chelles; the technician inspects your home, then whatever touches it: cellar, landing, garden or garage.

Businesses

On the business side, Seine-et-Marne has farms, warehouses, town-centre shops and the tourist sites around Marne-la-Vallée, among others. In Chelles, the visit can be scheduled before opening or after closing, with an invoice in the company's name and a report you can use during hygiene inspections.

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.

The same pointers apply around Chelles, in Pontault-Combault, Torcy and Meaux.

Indoor ant removal: what the technician does

Areas and situations covered

  • Black garden ant (Lasius niger)
  • Pharaoh ant
  • Kitchens, worktops and cupboards
  • Bathrooms and pipe entries
  • Balconies, terraces and window sills
  • Grocers, bakeries and restaurant kitchens

A trail of ants across a worktop is only the visible face of the colony. The queen and the brood stay hidden in a wall, under tiles or in a planter, and spraying the workers sometimes makes the colony split into several nests.

The technician starts by identifying the species, then follows the trails back to place a slow-acting gel bait on their routes. Workers carry it to the nest and share it with the rest of the colony, queen included. The cracks and gaps they use to get in are then sealed.

Sentinel Protocol

Four stages, in this order, in Chelles 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

    Species identified, trails followed back to their entry points and likely nest sites located.

  2. Step 2

    Treat

    Drops of slow-acting gel bait placed on the routes, in corners out of reach of children and pets.

  3. Step 3

    Sanitise

    Cracks and gaps around pipes resealed, advice on removing sources of sugar and crumbs.

  4. Step 4

    Follow up

    Follow-up visit as set out in the protocol: activity level checked, bait topped up if needed, photo report.

Chelles: your questions before booking

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

+

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 Chelles?

+

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 Pontault-Combault and Torcy?

+

Yes. Pontault-Combault, Torcy and Meaux: these towns in Seine-et-Marne are covered on the same terms as Chelles, 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 Chelles, treatment applied, entry points sealed or still to seal, and advice to limit the risk of a return.

How do I recognise a pharaoh ant?

+

It is a tiny ant, about 2 mm long and pale yellow, often found in heated buildings. It has several queens and splits up when disturbed, so it is treated with bait only, never sprayed.

Can a food shop be treated without closing?

+

In most cases, yes: the bait is applied in very small amounts, away from food and preparation surfaces. The technician agrees a quiet slot with you, often before opening time.
