Businesses
Shop, restaurant, office or apartment building in Versailles: 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: 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.
The same pointers apply around Versailles, in Poissy, Mantes-la-Jolie and Sartrouville.
Signs to look for at home
- 01Spindle-shaped droppings about 1 to 2 cm long
- 02Freshly disturbed soil against a wall or under a slab
- 03Dark, greasy smears along skirting boards and pipes
- 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 Versailles 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
Droppings, smears and burrows logged; routes up from inspection chambers, traps and air bricks located, along with food sources.
Step 2
Treat
Locked, fixed bait stations on the runs found; mechanical traps wherever a rodenticide has no place, such as food areas.
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.
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.
Versailles: your questions before booking
How soon can I get an appointment in Versailles?
Online booking shows the free slots in Versailles 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 Versailles?
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 Poissy and Mantes-la-Jolie?
Yes. Poissy, Mantes-la-Jolie and Sartrouville: these towns in Yvelines are covered on the same terms as Versailles, 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 Versailles, treatment applied, entry points sealed or still to seal, and advice to limit the risk of a return.
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.
