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.
In Mantes-la-Jolie, this context shapes the inspection: where to look for the first signs, which entry points to check first.
Signs to look for at home
- 01Trails of ants returning to the same spot every day
- 02Small mounds of sand or dust at the foot of a wall
- 03Winged ants appearing in a room in warm weather
- 04Ants in the sugar bowl, the honey jar or the cat's bowl
Recognise one of these signs? Note where you saw it: the technician will start there.
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 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
Species identified, trails followed back to their entry points and likely nest sites located.
Step 2
Treat
Drops of slow-acting gel bait placed on the routes, in corners out of reach of children and pets.
Step 3
Sanitise
Cracks and gaps around pipes resealed, advice on removing sources of sugar and crumbs.
Step 4
Follow up
Follow-up visit as set out in the protocol: activity level checked, bait topped up if needed, photo report.

There are more ants in the days after the visit: is that normal?
Yes: the workers come to collect the bait to feed the colony. Leave the drops where they are, do not wipe them and avoid any insecticide spray for those few days.
