The situation

Rodent control for co-ownership buildings

From historic centres to recent residences, our Certibiocide-certified technicians travel throughout Yvelines (78). Every job for your co-owned building ends with a photo report and a scheduled follow-up visit.

When an owner or a tenant hears scratching behind a wall, they think about their own flat. The rodent, meanwhile, follows the building: the waste-water stack, the electrical riser, the bike store, the cellar next door. An effective response is therefore built at building level, combining the flats that report a problem with the common areas.

Local landmarks

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.

For residents

The people who live in the building come first: they are the ones who notice the signs and put up with the nuisance.

  • Each household concerned picks a 2-hour window, any day from 8 am to 8 pm.
  • A notice for the entrance hall explains what will happen and when.
  • Bait stations are closed and fixed in place, out of reach of children and pets.
  • Simple advice helps residents spot early signs in their own home.

Sentinel Protocol

Inspect, treat, sanitise, follow up

The same sequence on every job, applied here to a whole building: understand first, treat in proportion, close off the routes, then come back to check.

We work under a duty of means: a professional protocol, a follow-up visit, a photo report and advice to limit the risk of pests returning.

  1. 1

    Inspect

    Walk-through of cellars, bin room, courtyard, risers and the flats that reported a problem. Signs and entry points marked on a sketch of the building.

  2. 2

    Treat

    Secure, numbered bait stations in the common areas to deal with rodents; targeted insect treatment where they hide, flat by flat if needed.

  3. 3

    Sanitise

    Sealing the routes that link units: steel wool, grilles, door sweeps, seals around pipes. Upkeep advice for the caretaker or cleaning contractor.

  4. 4

    Follow up

    Follow-up visit as set by the protocol, station check, new photo report and active vigilance between visits.

Regulatory landmarks

Who does what in a co-ownership

French law no. 65-557 of 10 July 1965 gives the owners' association (syndicat des copropriétaires) responsibility for preserving the building and running the common areas; the managing agent carries this out day to day. Routine upkeep is part of the provisional budget voted each year at the general meeting and is shared out according to the co-ownership rules.

The règlement sanitaire départemental (the local public-health code) also requires owners and occupants to take the necessary measures against rodents and insects. For let homes, the law of 6 July 1989, as amended by the 2018 ELAN law, requires landlords to provide housing free of any infestation by pests and parasites.

Frequent questions

What people ask us most

Do you work across the whole département (78)?

Yes. We cover throughout Yvelines (78), from Versailles to Mantes-la-Jolie, in 2-hour slots, 7 days a week from 8 am to 8 pm, with the same photo report and the same follow-up visit everywhere.

A tenant reports mice: who has to act?

If the source is in the common areas (cellar, riser, bin room), the owners' association has to act, through the managing agent. If the problem is confined to one flat, the landlord or the occupant handles it depending on the situation. The inspection is there to locate the source, and the photo report gives everyone a basis for discussion.

Does the residents' council need to vote before a visit?

A one-off job in the common areas falls under the managing agent's day-to-day management and the provisional budget. For a year-round plan, many councils prefer to discuss it first: we provide a detailed quote and a description the managing agent can attach to the general-meeting notice.

Do all the flats need treating?

No. We inspect the flats that report a problem, plus the ones around them when the species calls for it, as with cockroaches or bed bugs. Every household is told in advance and picks its slot; nobody enters a home without an appointment.

Are the products safe around children and pets?

Our technicians hold the Certibiocide certificate and use approved products. For rodents, bait is placed in closed, fixed stations marked on the sketch. Occupants concerned receive the instructions to follow after the visit.

How long before the building is quiet again?

It depends on the surroundings: courtyard, sewers, food shops on the ground floor. We commit to the means, not to a date: a follow-up visit as set by the protocol, station checks and sealed entry points, with a report at every stage so you can see how things evolve.
