Our Biosafety-service is the answer to a restaurant’s pest control needs
Seeing flies swarming around your plate would ruin anyone’s dining experience. Yet, we are not really surprised when seeing a few here and there, especially during our backyard BBQs. That right there is the main difference between picnicking at home and having lunch in a restaurant or a café; we hold businesses to a higher standard in hygiene, and to an extent so does the law.
Oiva-report is a useful tool amongst others
oivahymy.fi, coordinated by the Finnish Food Authority, is a well-known service of standardized reporting on the businesses hygiene. It uses smiley-faces to evaluate the businesses space and actions.
Oiva-reports are valuable to showcase, when a restaurant has been able to achieve the highest ratings. On the other hand, when receiving a lower score, facing the reality or the authorities view of the business’ current state might feel overwhelming or difficult. As a business owner or entrepeneur you try to do your best, so how can you ensure for it to show through?
Pest control efforts and results show up in Oiva in the section 3.5. Reports in Oiva try to be quite standardized, but there is some room for the authority’s opinion and viewpoint. In that sense, neglected pest control efforts might show up a bit “here and there” throughout the report. Then again, good procedures in hygiene upkeep and decent pest control efforts also might shine through in several sections of the report.

We are familiar with the food industry supply chain and the challenges that restaurants and food industry businesses face with hygiene and produce safety. All the way from the fields to the table, we know where to focus, in order to ensure a pest-free journey.
The principles of food hygiene are the same across businesses, they’re not dependent on themes or sources of ingredients. With our long-standing experience with the Finnish food industry we have perfected the Biosafety-services for different types of businesses; e.g. dairy farms have different pest control needs from bakeries, cafés and lunch buffets.
Are you too close to the problem to see it?
There is not a doubt in our minds about the fact that every restaurant owner wants to provide good service, with quality ingredients and a clean, warm atmosphere for their customers. Working daily in the same spaces, with the same surfaces and appliances can cause us to become to overlook some spots, which may grow up to pose a problem to our otherwise good hygiene efforts. Insects and rodents love to find these spots.
It’s perfectly normal that the daily life of a kitchen focuses more on other tasks than pest control; and that is why we’re here to take these specific things into account for you.
Antitec aims to provide a comprehensive service for all of our clients, and as a part of that service in food production and processing facilities, restaurants and cafés our experts will take a good look around the business spaces, to locate any potential threats that might occur. Such as any spottings of insects, other than mentioned by the client beforehand.
For example, it is no use to just fumigate flies once, if the insects’ breedingspace is not seen and destroyed, the flies will come back in a week or so. Our methods will catch flies in their adult-stage and also in their larva and egg-stages.
A new set of eyes taking a glance around your kitchen, warehouse and backroom might be the best thing to happen to your business.
