The presence of parasitic insects and rodents in the workplace is a critical issue that affects public health, food safety and the reputation of the business.
DED Pest Control, recognizing the great importance of this issue, has developed specialized pest control programs aimed at preventing and effectively dealing with such problems.
A clean and pest-free work environment significantly enhances employee productivity, cultivates a sense of security and builds relationships of trust with the company's customers and partners.
Parasitic insects and rodents can cause serious problems for food businesses if they invade production areas, such as:
• Food contamination with pathogens and contaminants
• Contamination of food processing areas
• Risk of poisoning of customers from consuming contaminated food
• Destruction of electrical wiring and equipment
• Damage to the company's reputation and image
DED Pest Control recognizes the particular requirements of this industry and offers specialized pest control programs in accordance with Ministerial Decision 1348. It recommends concluding a disinfection contract with scheduled regular visits as a particularly important action.
Prevention is more important than combating/treating.
The main problems come from mice, cockroaches (large and slender blondes), as well as flying insects such as flies, black flies and mosquitoes. When such a problem occurs, it is dealt with by appropriate applications of disinfestation and mycosis, depending on its extent.
Actions taken include controlling insect and rodent entry points and closing any openings. In kitchen and food storage areas, in accordance with European legislation prohibiting toxic baits, mechanical traps with adhesive surfaces and other means are placed.
In addition, a network of bait stations is installed that covers all areas, adhesive surfaces are used for immediate capture, bait consumption is recorded and rodenticide preparations are changed/combined for more effective treatment. We consider the rotation of biocides to be very important to avoid the resistance that parasites may acquire.
The good reputation and name of a business are critical factors for its proper and efficient operation.
The presence of parasitic insects or rodents can ruin this reputation completely. By working with a licensed pest control company like DED Pest Control, you can minimize the appearance of such pests. The company can study the needs of your space and design a comprehensive hygiene coverage program.
Pest problems in hotel areas occur everywhere from kitchens and restaurants to laundries and garbage areas.
The most annoying pest is bedbugs, which invade customers' shoes and clothes with luggage, resulting in their spread to large proportions. They nest in dark corners, cracks, behind furniture, etc. Their bites leave small blood stains on sheets and mattresses.
For prevention, staff training, frequent inspections, and cleaning of bed linens and carpets are required.
At DED Pest Control we know how important it is for a business space to be safe, secure and pest-free. A healthy environment increases efficiency, fosters a sense of security and builds relationships of trust.
This category of businesses is considered particularly vulnerable, as in addition to the challenges it faces due to operating hours, the urban environment and temperature fluctuations, the large volume of food and beverage processing and distribution makes the already demanding conditions even more difficult.
DED Pest Control has the necessary experience, expertise and equipment to design and implement specialized pest control programs, meeting even the most stringent requirements and needs. These programs are designed exclusively for each business individually.
They are not required by law to have a disinfestation and rodent control program in place.
However, implementing a pest control program is desirable, as it helps ensure hygienic conditions and prevent problems from insects or rodents that can harm employees, facilities, and the reputation of the business.
According to calculations by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), losses in finished products due to pests during storage amount to approximately 17% of global production (10% from insects and 7% from beetles, rodents, etc.).
Storage insects are considered to be insects that attack nuts, grains (wheat, barley, oats) - such as grain lice, corn, rice lice, storage beetles, etc., as well as other types of insects that destroy products and can develop in warehouses or packaging areas of agricultural/industrial products or food.
Areas for processing, industrialization and packaging of agricultural, livestock, industrial products and food often face problems from pests such as storage insects, mites, fungi and rodents.
In addition to the direct destruction of products by insects, they spread rapidly to other areas, infecting additional loads, while overall they affect all facilities, causing enormous damage and restrictions.
For warehouse insects, an inspection of the space should be carried out to identify the problem, proposing a treatment plan and we guarantee the definitive and effective treatment of the problem.
DED Pest Control company pays special attention and specialized services to disinfestation applications for all types of ships, commercial, cruise ships, yachts, yachts or smaller vessels, are prone to pest infestations.
In the interiors of ships, the most common problems come from German cockroaches, bedbugs and mice, which grow rapidly due to the favorable conditions of constant temperature and abundant food availability.
However, numerous pests are also transported and developed in cargo areas, which cause multiple damages until the ship reaches its destination.
High efficiency, consistency and the ability to deal with multiple problems, even under adverse working conditions, are the main reasons why the company undertakes such demanding disinfestation services on ships.
Ship and vessel disinfections are not limited to the general concept of disinfestations, but also include specific disinfection procedures when:
