Brown rat removal in Essonne (91)
Certibiocide-certified technicians in Essonne, two-hour slots every day from 8 am to 8 pm and a photo report emailed the same day.
Our technicians set out from Champigny-sur-Marne and cover Essonne in full. Distance changes neither the protocol nor the price.
The amount does not depend on the town: from €111 incl. VAT throughout Essonne, as in the rest of Île-de-France.
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.

Brown rat removal: the four stages of a visit
Signs to watch for
- Spindle-shaped droppings about 1 to 2 cm long
- Freshly disturbed soil against a wall or under a slab
- Dark, greasy smears along skirting boards and pipes
- Gnawed bags, cables or wood, scratching at night
Duration: Allow 1 to 1.5 hours on site; the follow-up visit takes place 10 to 15 days later.
- 1
Inspect
Droppings, smears and burrows logged; routes up from inspection chambers, traps and air bricks located, along with food sources.
- 2
Treat
Locked, fixed bait stations on the runs found; mechanical traps wherever a rodenticide has no place, such as food areas.
- 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.

Follow up
Follow-up visit as set out in the protocol: bait uptake checked, stations adjusted, photo report and advice on storing waste.
Your questions about Essonne
Do you really cover the whole département (91)?
Yes: any verified address in Essonne can be booked, in a two-hour slot between 8 am and 8 pm, seven days a week. Online booking checks the address when you choose the slot.
Does it cost more in a small village?
No. The price depends on the service, the floor area and the number of visits, never on the town: from €111 incl. VAT anywhere in Île-de-France.
How does a visit to a private home work?
You choose your slot, the technician calls before arriving, inspects, treats if needed, then explains what was done. The photo report follows by email the same day.
Can the rat in my cellar climb to the upper floors?
Brown rats prefer ground level and basements, but they follow ducts and soil stacks when looking for food. That is why the inspection also covers the routes between the cellar and the flats.
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.
