Your home first, then your business

Households

In Val-d'Oise, many people live in Vexin village houses, estate homes and residences in the new towns. Tenant or owner, you book your own slot in Argenteuil; the technician inspects your home, then whatever touches it: cellar, landing, garden or garage.

Businesses

On the business side, Val-d'Oise has business parks near the airport, hotels, town-centre shops and farms, among others. In Argenteuil, 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: 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.

The same pointers apply around Argenteuil, in Cergy, Sarcelles and Garges-lès-Gonesse.

Signs to look for at home

  1. 01Spindle-shaped droppings about 1 to 2 cm long
  2. 02Freshly disturbed soil against a wall or under a slab
  3. 03Dark, greasy smears along skirting boards and pipes
  4. 04Gnawed bags, cables or wood, scratching at night

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

Brown rat removal: what the technician does

Areas and situations covered

  • Cellars, basements and crawl spaces
  • Courtyards, gardens and building footings
  • Bin stores and rubbish chutes
  • Inspection chambers, traps and drains
  • Kitchens, stockrooms and back rooms
  • Car parks and plant rooms

The brown rat (Rattus norvegicus), also called the Norway rat, lives at ground level: cellars, crawl spaces, courtyards, sewer networks. It swims well, digs readily under slabs and uses the same runs along the walls day after day, leaving marks that a trained eye reads easily.

At home or in your shop, the job therefore starts with those runs: where does it travel, where does it come from, what is it eating? Tamper-resistant bait stations go where it actually moves, any route up through the drains is identified, and the holes and cracks it uses to get in are then sealed.

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, smears and burrows logged; routes up from inspection chambers, traps and air bricks located, along with food sources.

  2. Step 2

    Treat

    Locked, fixed bait stations on the runs found; mechanical traps wherever a rodenticide has no place, such as food areas.

  3. Step 3

    Sanitise

    Holes and cracks filled with steel wool and mortar, grilles over vents, a non-return valve advised if rats come up a pipe.

  4. Step 4

    Follow up

    Follow-up visit as set out in the protocol: bait uptake checked, stations adjusted, photo report and advice on storing waste.

Argenteuil: your questions before booking

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

+

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 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.

My neighbour has rats: does that affect me?

+

Often, yes: one population moves between adjoining gardens, courtyards and cellars. Treating both sides at the same time works best; we can coordinate the visit with your neighbour or the managing agent.

Are bait stations dangerous for my dog or children?

+

The bait is held in key-locked boxes fixed to the floor or wall, designed so that only a rodent can reach it. Their positions are marked in the report, and placement is adapted if you have pets.
