INSECT CONTROL
Effective management of all the types of non-beneficial insects and bugs.
The insect control (less seen as disinsection), is the procedure whereby killing, reducing or eliminating any kind of insects which are pests, using insecticides or other methods. Some of the most common unwanted bugs are the cockroaches, the mosquitoes, the ants, the bed bugs, the flies, the wasps, the termites and the spiders.
The insect control may take place in a plethora of ways, such us:
SPRAYING
This is the conventional way of controlling the bugs. Either in a low-pressure sprayer or in a high-pressure spray pump, the insecticide (which contain contact and/or stomach poison) is diluted into water and then sprayed onto the infected surfaces.
Low pressure is used when we want to spray uniformly and carefully on surfaces where insects move or nest such as walls, siphons, perimeters of buildings, around windows, doors, ramps, etc.
High pressure is mainly applied to large empty warehouses, outdoor and other industrial areas.


GEL IMPLEMENTATION
In this method, drops of gel are placed to combat various types of cockroaches and mainly the German cockroach (Blatella germanica) as well as to deal with various types of ants. It is applied with a bait gun or a ready-to-use syringe.
Gel utilization consists of safe means of insect control for the technicians, the clients as well as the environment overall, due to the limited area of application.
It is applied in domestic indoor areas, professional food handling areas, restaurants, food warehouses, hospitals, hotels, schools, etc.
FOGGING
Fogging is the way of applying the insecticides through a fogger. This machine possesses the ability to dissolve the solution and bear it in droplets of tiny diameter into the area, thus increasing the penetrating abilities of the chemicals in hard-to-reach places. Fogging can be further differentiated into Cold (ULV) Fogging and Thermal Fogging.
The method of fogging is mainly used to control flying and walking warehouse pests, such as Plodia interpunctella, Ephestia kuehniella, Stegobium paniceum, Tribolium confusum, Sitophilus granarius, and Tribolium castaneum. The full coverage of the volume of the area by the chemical fog plays a significant role for the success of the application. During the application we implement the necessary personal protection measures as provided by the Material of Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) of the product that will be used.


FUMIGATION
Fumigation is a special method of controlling insects and rodents, based on the utilization of strong toxic substances in gaseous state that have a suffocating effect.
Phosphine (PH3) is an approved fumigant on the Greek marketplace for the control of insects infecting stored products, for wood destroying insects and for rodents. Phosphine products are traded in solid form which, under the influence of humidity, the final product is released in gaseous form. In the gaseous form, phosphine can be a very powerful and penetrating substance that might be used as a non-selective rodenticide and insecticide, acting on all the biological stages of the insect.
There are two types of phosphine on the Greek market; Magnesium phosphide (Mg3P2), and Aluminum phosphide (AlP) in various packages and formulations. The differentiation in the formulation of the Phosphine preparation is an important criterion in the selection of the product, since we can achieve quick and easy removal of residues in the closed form.
Fumigation can be applied:
In grain products (wheat, barley, rye, oats, maize, rice, millet, etc.), nuts, cereals, dried fruits, spices, animal feed, medicinal plants, milk powder, cotton, carpets, milling products (flour, bran, pasta, biscuits, nuts, malt), empty bags for transporting and storing products, empty storage areas and means of transporting of the abovementioned products.
In millwork generally (furniture etc.)
Against rodents in the fields (only if they cause damage to the cultivated crops).
This work can be carried out at your place as long as you have the appropriate facilities and all the necessary conditions are met for the safe use of fumigation products. The work is carried out under the responsibility, supervision and guidance of a Responsible Chemical Scientist or Agricultural Scientist of our company, as defined by the Greek Legislation.
PHEROMONE TRAPS AND LURES / INSECT TRAPS:
In order to monitor the activity of the insects or catch them, we often use professional insect traps, with an adhesive surface for holding insects (non-toxic) and UV attraction radiation (Synergetic®). A polymorphic adhesive trap (delta shape) with specific pheromone can also be used to attract flying or walking warehouse insects (Plodia interpunctella, Ephestia kuehniella, Stegobium paniceum, Tribolium confusum, Sitophilus granarius etc.)
