No — Santera uses methods appropriate for food environments, targeting harbourage and using monitoring rather than treating stock directly, with infested goods removed. All work follows HACCP and Dubai Municipality standards, so your food stays safe while the infestation is controlled.

In Dubai's warm conditions stored product pests breed year-round, so there's no off-season — infestations persist and spread until treated. Continuous monitoring and good storage hygiene are the best safeguards, which Santera builds into ongoing programmes for food businesses.

Santera inspects to identify the species and find all infested stock and harbourage, removes or advises on disposing of infested goods, treats storage areas and crevices, and installs pheromone monitoring to catch any survivors. This source-based approach clears what discarding food and cleaning alone cannot.

Sealing food in airtight containers, rotating stock, cleaning shelving, and discarding infested goods all help and are good practice, but natural remedies rarely clear an established infestation hidden in stock and crevices. Santera combines targeted treatment and monitoring with these steps for a reliable result.

No — pheromone traps are excellent for monitoring and detecting activity early, but they don't eliminate the infestation in the stock and harbourage. Santera uses them as part of a programme that also treats storage areas and removes infested goods, so traps support rather than replace proper control.

Rarely — discarding one packet misses eggs and larvae developing inside other grains and in cracks, shelving, and machinery, and flying species spread to new stock. Santera locates all infested stock and harbourage, treats the storage area, and uses monitoring to confirm the problem is fully cleared.
