Paris - Post Report Question and Answers

Are there any unusual problems with insects or other infestations in housing?

Nothing unusual - Aug 2022


Yes. Our apartment has a silver fish infestation and ant problem and unfortunately, it seems there is no requirement to do anything about it. The compound had poison spiders and caterpillars. - May 2022


No. - Sep 2021


There are mice/rats outside - never saw one inside. - Jul 2020


None. - Feb 2015


Really none. We don't have screens on the windows and may get the occasional fly in the house, but that's about it. - Jun 2013


None, although there's active apiculture (beekeeping) in downtown Paris! - Jan 2011


We don't have screens here so it's a good thing we don't get a lot of bugs! Big, slow black flies arrive in the summer months but they are easy to eliminate. We haven't had any problems with ants or other creepy crawlies in the apartment. Note that lice is an ongoing issue with kids in school and summer camp. - Sep 2010
