Fly & 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.

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.

Colony-level baiting eliminates the nest, not just the foragers, combined with proofing and hygiene to remove attractants.
