Insect light trap (EFK) mounted in a commercial kitchenFly & Ant Control in the Eastern Cape & Gauteng
Flies and ants are constant threats in kitchens, restaurants and food-processing areas both are contamination risks and a red flag in any food audit. ASC tackles flies with strategically placed insect light traps (EFK units) and source reduction, and ants with colony-level baiting that eliminates the nest rather than just the foragers you see. Combined with hygiene guidance, this keeps food areas clean, compliant and pest-free.

Fly & Ant Control common questions
Where should insect light traps be placed?
Away from entry-point sightlines, not directly over food prep, and where flies naturally gather, we position and service them correctly for compliance.
How do you stop ants long term?
Colony-level baiting eliminates the nest, not just the foragers, combined with proofing and hygiene to remove attractants.
Are the methods safe for kitchens?
Yes we use food-safe placements and baits suited to food-handling environments and document them for audits.
Do you service the units regularly?
Yes. EFK units need scheduled servicing (tube and board changes) to stay effective we include this in your programme.
