The Langevin Elementary School in Ivry (94)

During the year 1996, the SENTRI*TECH procedure was put in place in the Langevin elementary school in Ivry.

Installation and verification visits took place without causing any disturbance for students or for teachers.

In a few months, the elimination of the colonies present was started. To this day, the building is still under active surveillance and no new colony has re-infested the area...

However, on August 3, 1995, termite activity was visible though the many cords built along the walls and pillars of the underfloor space.

Some of them even reached the beams that ran along the expansion joints, providing quick access to the ground floor.

On the ground floor, traces were observed in certain joint covers, corresponding to termites rising from the underfloor space through the expansion joints...

Even abroad!

Termites were detected in 1994 in the ground around the Statue of Liberty...

After the installation of SENTRI*TECH and a successful operation, Professor Nan-Yao Su of the University of Florida declared that thanks to SENTRI*TECH, there were no more termites near the Statue of Liberty!

For scientists, this new extermination technology is perfectly adapted to treat historical monuments of great cultural value...
