Augias, expert in bedbug eradication in France

The leading franchise network in the cleaning and pest control sectors, Augias offers solutions to combat a scourge that has recently reappeared in France: bedbugs.

With more than 12 years of experience in this type of intervention, the Augias franchise network benefits from specific know-how in the bed bug treatment, insects that reappeared en masse in France a few months ago, after experiencing a significant increase in the United States last summer. The reappearance of these insects, whose bites cause reddish, itchy lesions, has been encouraged by their adaptation to insecticides.
Bedbugs have the ability to slip into gaps no bigger than a credit card, making their eradication extremely difficult. Their resistance to treatment is so strong that only professional pest control specialists can eliminate them.

INTERVENTIONS WITH INDIVIDUALS AND PROFESSIONALS

Whether working for individuals or businesses (buildings, hotels, etc.), Augias franchisees conduct a diagnostic assessment before each intervention in order to precisely adapt the quantity and type of product used. Augias offers a treatment based on powerful insecticides, for professional use only, with specific marketing authorizations.
With ministerial approval, Dominique Allimann, Augias franchisee from Arenthon (74800) has handled dozens of cases in recent months.
"I work on average one to five times a week in private homes. Last December, I even had to treat 24 homes in the same building and more than 40 rooms in a large hotel. The extermination process is almost military-like; you can't miss a single spot and be very meticulous. It's a team effort with the client, who must wash all their laundry at the same time at a temperature of at least 60°C and clean the area so we can reach all the affected areas."

After testing various processes over several years, Dominique Allimann achieved an eradication rate of nearly 100% thanks to the quality of his dosage. He must perform two mandatory treatments, lasting between one and five hours depending on the case, with a three-month guarantee on the results. The first spray causes a shock that eliminates the adult population. Furthermore, the residual effects of the molecules used act over time to eliminate eggs and larvae.
The customer must wait a day for the product to dry. Augias therefore usually intervenes in the morning, allowing normal occupancy of the premises at the end of the day.
