Degreasing of hoods

A hood that has not been degreased has a strong negative impact on your image and is a safety hazard. Failing to degrease a hood may result in poor suction, the spread of cooking odours, drips and stains and even fire. The regulations state that hoods should be degreased once or twice a year and that filters should be cleaned once a week. To meet this requirement, Elis offers a comprehensive service provided by teams of technicians specialised in hygiene for the catering trade. This service is available in specific geographical areas: Isère, Loire, Puy de Dôme, Rhône-Alpes, Haute-Savoie, Occitania and Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur.

American cockroachs

American cockroaches, or roaches, are insects with an incomplete metamorphosis cycle (egg, nymph, adult). They are dark brown and can be up to 5cm long. Their wings are longer than their bodies, nevertheless, they do not fly, but hover on several meters. They live in warm, humid and dark areas (cellars, sewage pipes, technical galleries...). They have an omnivorous diet, eating all types of food (garbage, plant and animal food). This service is also available for households in the following cities: Geneva, Lyon, Marseille and Nantes.

Ants

An anthill has one or several queens, males, workers, and sometimes soldiers. It is organized into castes (royal, sexual, and worker). The worker ants have two stomachs that allow them to ingest food that they will store in their social stomach to feed the whole anthill. They are omnivorous but prefer sweet foods. Several billion ants live on the planet. There is not a square kilometer of land without them. If nests are found, our certified technicians use a state-of-the-art application system to destroy the nest with minimal impact on the environment. This service is available for households in the following cities: Geneva, Lyon, Marseille, and Nantes.

Wasps

Wasps are insects with complete metamorphosis (egg, larva, nymph, imago). They live in colonies divided into castes (worker, male, queen). A nest contains up to several thousand wasps and can be found in any location. In autumn, they live on the fat stocks accumulated during the summer, and in winter they die. Only 4 or 5 reared queens leave the nest to settle elsewhere. In the spring, the queen alone begins the construction of a new nest. The wasp feeds mainly on sugary substances, flies, and larvae. Wasp stings can be a real health hazard.

Food moths

The food moth has a complete metamorphosis (egg, larva, chrysalis, adult). The adult food moth has a globular head and looks like a small butterfly. The larvae of the food moth weave silk nests in which they spend part of their lives and molt. At the end of their growth, they begin their transformation into butterflies which lasts 1 to 2 weeks. At 30°C, a generation develops and reproduces in about a month. At 10°C, it takes 7 months. They can hibernate during the harsh months. They can destroy your merchandise and threaten the hygiene and image of your facility.

Clothes moths

The clothes moth has a complete metamorphosis (egg, larva, chrysalis, butterfly). Its larvae are white with a brown head (10 mm) and create holes in fabrics. The larvae weave very typical silk galleries up to 15 cm long. The yellowish-white caterpillars of the textile moth bore holes or gnaw on the surface of woolens, furs, carpets, rugs, etc. Textiles that have not been worn for a long time become the prey of the larvae.

Fly and midge

The fly has a growth cycle with complete metamorphosis: egg, larva, pupa (immobile state), and insect, which is completed in about 2 weeks. It is omnivorous, feeding on human detritus, waste, excrement, and organic matter in decomposition. Adults feed outdoors as well as in farms or households. The midges or "small flies" are not young insects, but particular species, or malnourished flies in the larval stage. Contamination occurs by contact when the fly lands on the food and absorbs it using its digestive juices. Houseflies are the most widespread insects on the planet.

Mosquitoes

Mosquitoes are insects with complete metamorphosis (egg, larva, pupa, imago). Males and females feed on nectar and thus participate in the pollination of plants. Only the females sting and suck the blood of humans and animals (livestock, birds) to bring their eggs to maturity. They lay an average of one hundred eggs and the larvae from the eggs live in watering places (lakes, ponds...), in very wet soil, or in and under buildings.
