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 Rueil-Malmaison 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.
Rueil-Malmaison: your questions before booking
Do I need to be there during the visit in Rueil-Malmaison?
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 Rueil-Malmaison?
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 Colombes and Issy-les-Moulineaux?
Yes. Colombes, Issy-les-Moulineaux and Levallois-Perret: these towns in Hauts-de-Seine are covered on the same terms as Rueil-Malmaison, 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 Rueil-Malmaison, treatment applied, entry points sealed or still to seal, and advice to limit the risk of a return.
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.
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.
