Pest control for co-ownership buildings
In a co-ownership building, a rat doesn't stop at the edge of a flat. It climbs a service duct, follows a pipe, crosses the bin room and ends up in three homes. Treating one flat just moves the problem; treating the building solves it.
DeratiseurPRO works for professional managing agents (syndics), volunteer managers and residents' councils in Paris and across Île-de-France. We apply the Méthode Verrou to the whole building: mapping entry points, treating common areas, sealing access routes, then documented monitoring you can present at the general meeting.
Four steps to a locked-down building
The Méthode Verrou® doesn't stop at treatment: we find where pests get in, close the way, then check it holds.
- 01
Detect
Survey of cellars, bin rooms, ducts, courtyard and car park. Signs and entry points marked on a plan.
- 02
Neutralise
Secure, numbered bait stations in common areas; insects treated where they actually nest.
- 03
Lock
Grilles, steel wool, door sweeps, sealed pipe and cable passages: we close the routes linking one flat to another.
- 04
Monitor
Follow-up visits, photo report, logbook update and a written guarantee on the treated area.
What changes for you
A map of entry points, not just a finding
Before any treatment we record every entry point: courtyard drains, cable passages, duct hatches, gaps under cellar doors. You receive an annotated plan of the building.
Proof for every visit
Dated photos, checked bait stations, bait uptake, sealing work: the report arrives by email the same day, ready to forward to the owners.
A shared digital logbook
Every intervention is recorded in an online logbook that the managing agent and residents' council can consult. Handy for an inspection, a resident complaint or a change of managing agent.
Organised around residents
A print-ready notice for the entrance hall, 2-hour time slots, locked bait stations out of reach of children and pets. Occupants know what is happening and when.
What we deal with
- Brown rats (cellars, courtyards, sewers)
- House mice (ducts, false ceilings)
- Cockroaches (rubbish chutes, bin rooms)
- Bed bugs (coordination between flats)
- Wasps and hornets (roofs, façades)
- Fleas (cellars, vacant flats)
Who it's for
- Professional managing agents
- Volunteer managers
- Residents' councils
- Social landlords
- Letting managers
- Buildings with a caretaker
What a managing agent should be able to show
The règlement sanitaire départemental (the local public-health code) requires buildings and their outbuildings to be kept clean and the necessary measures to be taken against rodents and insects. In a co-ownership, common areas are the responsibility of the owners' association, represented by the managing agent.
For let units, the French 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. Documented monitoring of common areas helps everyone establish what was done, where and when.

Who pays for pest control in common areas?
Work in common areas is a co-ownership expense, shared among owners according to the co-ownership rules. Treatment inside a private unit is generally paid for by its owner or occupant, depending on where the problem comes from. Your managing agent then checks what can be recharged to tenants.
Does an annual contract need a general meeting vote?
A maintenance contract for common areas usually falls within the annual budget voted by the owners. We provide a detailed quote and a short presentation that the managing agent can attach to the meeting notice if the residents' council wants to put it to a vote.
How do you get into affected flats?
Never without an appointment. The managing agent shares the information, each affected occupant books a 2-hour slot, and the private visit is logged in the same register as the common areas.
How long does it take to get rats under control?
It depends on the pressure around the building: courtyard, sewers, food businesses nearby. Follow-up visits show how bait uptake evolves; sealing the entry points is what stops them coming back. Each visit report lets you track the trend.
Are your products safe for residents?
Our technicians hold the Certibiocide and use approved products. Baits are placed in locked, fixed stations, labelled and numbered on the plan. Safety data sheets are attached to the logbook.
