Our work in Palaiseau

In Palaiseau, every job for your building starts torch in hand, in the warm, damp spots where cockroaches settle. That inspection shapes the treatment, the follow-up check and the gaps to fill.

We treat the building from behind the scenes: from cellar to loft, each area is inspected, monitored with traps, treated according to the species, then sealed. The caretaker, landlord or manager receives an area-by-area photo report the same day, and residents know what to do in their own homes.

Essonne has many apartment complexes and business parks: bin stores, heated car parks and shared kitchens give cockroaches warmth, water and food. Rats are more common near the rivers, while newer houses tend to see ants. These local features guide the inspection in Palaiseau, as they do across the rest of the département.

Repère Protocol

We find the source before we treat

The Repère Protocol always follows the same order: find where the pests live, treat right there, check with monitoring traps, then fill the gaps and advise the occupants.

  1. 01

    Locate

    Torch inspection of service areas, borescope in risers where needed, monitoring traps in every area and a hotspot map.

  2. 02

    Treat

    Gel bait and growth regulator in chutes, risers and bin rooms, dry steam on soiled surfaces; secure bait stations in cellars and car parks for rodents.

  3. 03

    Check

    Follow-up visit as set out in the protocol: traps read area by area, another treatment wherever activity continues.

  4. 04

    Prevent

    Penetrations and sleeves sealed, before/after photo report, upkeep advice for the caretaker and instructions for residents.

Regulatory context

Bin rooms and rubbish chutes need watching

The règlement sanitaire départemental (local public-health code) requires bin rooms, rubbish chutes and a building's outbuildings to be kept clean and the necessary steps taken against insects and rodents. They are often the first hotspots in a building.

Treatment does not replace upkeep: regular washing of bins and the bin room, doors that close, drain traps kept wet, leaks fixed. Our report separates what is down to treatment from what is routine maintenance, so everyone knows their part.

FAQ

Questions we often hear

Can you look after several buildings in and around Palaiseau?

Yes. Each building has its own plan, schedule and reports, and you keep one point of contact for all your sites in Essonne.

Why do cockroaches come back after my flat was treated?

Because the main colony often sits in a shared area (riser, rubbish chute, boiler room) and moves back into treated homes. We locate and treat that source at the same time as the affected flats.

Do you treat rubbish chutes?

Yes. We treat the chute, the hatches on each floor and the collection room, then recommend cleaning and repairs. If the owners are thinking of closing the chute, our report can inform their decision.

Do residents need to leave?

Not for common areas: treated zones are marked off and instructions posted. For a flat, the technician explains the precautions when you book: empty nearby cupboards, air the room, don't wipe off the gel points.
