FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What types of products are used?
All biocides used must be approved by the Ministry of Rural Development & Food for use in residential areas. Are the products used harmless to humans? The products we use incorporate modern insect control methods for public health and feature new active ingredients. These insecticides are nearly non-toxic to mammals, making them safe for residents and workers. They are odorless, free of solvents, and won't stain or corrode surfaces.
We should always bear in mind, that while the products are safe, it's important to handle them with the appropriate care and follow the instructions of our certified technicians.

Are the insecticides environmentally friendly?
Yes. Our company uses insecticides with new active ingredients that break down in the environment. These products offer dual or even triple action on all types of surfaces, including porous ones, with rapid insecticidal effects. They cover a wide range of action, reducing the need for multiple applications of different products. By using these new active substances, we minimize the amount of chemicals applied.
Our specialized teams ensure only the necessary amount of product is used, targeting specific areas effectively.

How often should pest control be performed?
There is no strict rule for how frequently pest control should be done. It largely depends on the season and the level of infestation. Insects are most active from spring to fall, though mild winters can prolong their activity.
It is recommended to conduct pest control at least twice a year in residential areas to keep insect populations low. However, this is not the norm, as there are many cases where more applications per year are required, especially if a space has been neglected or if there is a significant infestation. Είναι αποδεδειγμένο πως χρειάζεται τουλάχιστον δύο φορές το χρόνο (οικίες) να γίνεται Απεντόμωση, για να διατηρείται ο πληθυσμός των εντόμων σε χαμηλά επίπεδα. Αυτό όμως δεν είναι κανόνας, καθώς υπάρχουν πολλές περιπτώσεις στις οποίες απαιτείται να γίνουν περισσότερες εφαρμογές το χρόνο, ιδιαίτερα όταν έχει μεσολαβήσει μεγάλο χρονικό διάστημα από την τελευταία Απεντόμωση ή όταν υπάρχει έντονο πρόβλημα.

When can I clean the treated area after a spray application?
Most insecticides dissolve in water to varying degrees. It is advisable to avoid washing the treated surfaces for the first week after the application. It’s important to remember that biocidal products can retain their insecticidal effects for a much greater period of time. That is, the longer they remain on the surfaces, the better.
Do dead rodents produce unpleasant odors?
Our company uses second-generation rodenticides, specifically single-dose anticoagulants, that significantly reduce the unpleasant odor of dead rodents as they mummify.
Is there a guaranteed treatment for wood pests?
The treatment of wood-boring insects (such as woodworms) is carried out using fumigation, which eradicates all insects regardless of their biological stage. However, none of the gas-based treatments have residual effects (as this would be dangerous to humans), meaning there is no guarantee against future infestations.
What is the difference between woodworms and termites?
In practice, "woodworm" refers to a variety of insects that infest wood, creating tunnels and holes depending on the species.
Termites, on the other hand, are insects that look similar to ants macroscopically, but scientifically, their only similarity is their social organization. Termites are particularly difficult to deal with because their nests are usually located in the soil, far from the infested wood. This makes their treatment more complex and challenging.

HACCP - What is it?
HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) is a system designed to ensure food and beverage hygiene and quality. Its goal is to analyze and identify key points in a process where potential physical, biological, and chemical hazards could occur, and to implement measures to prevent, limit, or eliminate these risks at all stages of handling a product.
Specifically, it is a system which :
Specifically, it is a system which :
-
► analyses the company's activities and products, its suppliers, customers, equipment, personnel and the security risks involved, and concludes
► on the critical control points that the business must check and the good practices that it must implement to ensure the health and safety of its customers
HACCP is a requirement of both European and Greek legislation and applies to all businesses and organizations of any size, whether public or private, involved in the production, processing, packaging, storage, transportation, distribution, and sale of food, beverages, and animal feed.
► Evaluate and improve infrastructure (buildings, equipment, etc.) to ensure hygiene and safety.
► Establish a HACCP team with the knowledge and experience to develop and implement an effective HACCP system.
► Map out processes and product characteristics that the business handles in flow charts (production, storage, transportation, etc.).
► Identify and assess potential risks and determine preventive measures to control them.
► Determine Critical Control Points (CCPs), where monitoring is essential to limit hazards within acceptable levels.
► Set up monitoring systems for each CCP.
► Establish corrective actions that are implemented if monitoring indicates that a CCP is out of control.
► Implement verification procedures to confirm that the HACCP system works effectively, including sampling plans and laboratory analysis.
► Develop records to demonstrate the application of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs), including pest control files, cleaning and sanitation logs, water quality checks, and staff hygiene protocols.
► Set up an effective record-keeping system for HACCP documentation.
►Train staff on Hygiene Rules, on Good ► Practices for Food Hygiene and Critical Control Point Monitoring
► Inspect the implementation of the above steps and take corrective measures when needed.
Biologiki fully complies with European standards, legislation, and the requirements of the HACCP system. For all its business partners, Biologiki provides a Pest Control Binder, which includes all necessary documents and certifications required for health inspections.
