In Palaiseau, for your home as well as your shop

Households

In Essonne, many people live in estate houses, apartment blocks and homes along the rivers. Tenant or owner, you book your own slot in Palaiseau; the technician inspects your home, then whatever touches it: cellar, landing, garden or garage.

Businesses

Shop, restaurant, office or apartment building in Palaiseau: timing fits around your business and the photo report can be shown during a health inspection. For regular visits, a prevention contract is priced after a first visit.

Local ground: Essonne

In Essonne, the Orge, Yvette and Essonne valleys hold the moisture rats look for, large housing estates concentrate cockroaches around bin stores, and newer housing developments see ants arrive as early as spring.

The same pointers apply around Palaiseau, in Massy, Corbeil-Essonnes and Savigny-sur-Orge.

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 Palaiseau 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.

Palaiseau: your questions before booking

How soon can I get an appointment in Palaiseau?

+

Online booking shows the free slots in Palaiseau from the next day onwards. You choose the one that suits you, from 8 am to 8 pm, weekends included.

Is the price different in Palaiseau?

+

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 Massy and Corbeil-Essonnes?

+

Yes. Massy, Corbeil-Essonnes and Savigny-sur-Orge: these towns in Essonne are covered on the same terms as Palaiseau, 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 Palaiseau, treatment applied, entry points sealed or still to seal, and advice to limit the risk of a return.

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.

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.
