Our work in Ivry-sur-Seine

Ivry-sur-Seine (94200) is one of the towns where we regularly work in Val-de-Marne. Tenant, owner or manager: the Repère Protocol applies for your building, with monitoring traps, targeted treatment, a follow-up visit and gaps filled.

When a third-floor tenant spots cockroaches in the kitchen, the colony is often somewhere else: behind a shared meter, in the riser that serves the whole stack of flats, at the bottom of the rubbish chute. Cockroaches follow the warmth and damp of pipes and ducts, not the boundaries between flats. Treating one home brings a few weeks of relief; finding the shared source settles it for everyone.

Val-de-Marne, where our head office is based, alternates suburban streets, 1960s-70s tower blocks and food hubs around Rungis. Oriental cockroaches like damp basements and drains, German cockroaches prefer kitchens, and the banks of the Marne and the Seine remain rodent country. Our technicians know this kind of building, and the inspection in Ivry-sur-Seine takes it into account from the first visit.

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-in-hand inspection of warm, damp common areas (bin room, rubbish chute, risers, boiler room, cellars) and of the kitchens reported. Monitoring traps set, hotspots mapped.

  2. 02

    Treat

    Coordinated treatment of shared hotspots and affected flats: gel bait in spots, insect growth regulator, targeted spraying. For rodents, secure numbered bait stations.

  3. 03

    Check

    Follow-up visit built into the protocol: monitoring traps read flat by flat, treatment adjusted wherever activity remains.

  4. 04

    Prevent

    Photo report, gaps between flats filled (risers, pipe penetrations, traps), advice for residents and active vigilance in common areas.

Regulatory context

Who is responsible for what

The règlement sanitaire départemental (local public-health code) requires buildings and their outbuildings to be kept clean and the necessary steps taken against insects and rodents. Common areas are the responsibility of the owners' association, represented by the managing agent.

In a rented flat, the landlord must hand over a home free of pests and parasites (French law of 6 July 1989, amended by the 2018 ELAN law), while the occupant handles day-to-day upkeep. A dated report for each visit lets everyone see what was done, where and when.

FAQ

Questions we often hear

Can you look after several buildings in and around Ivry-sur-Seine?

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

I'm a tenant with cockroaches: where do I start?

Tell your landlord or the managing agent, especially if neighbours are seeing them too: a shared source is treated at building level. You can also book a visit to your own flat online; the photo report can then be used by the co-ownership.

Does the general meeting have to vote?

A one-off job in common areas usually falls under the managing agent's day-to-day management. Year-round follow-up goes into the annual budget; we supply a detailed quote and a short brief to attach to the meeting notice if the residents' council wants a vote.

Does every flat have to be treated?

Not necessarily. Monitoring traps show which flats and stacks are affected. We treat the shared hotspots and the flats concerned, then widen the scope if the follow-up visit finds activity elsewhere.
