How HYPEST Operates: Advanced Pest Control, Kitchen Extraction & Environmental Solutions HYPEST Botswana

Understanding HOW HYPEST operates provides commercial clients with total confidence in our environmental management services. We combine rigorous engineering standards, eco-friendly formulations, and state-of-the-art technology to protect commercial premises across Gaborone, Maun, Francistown, Palapye, and Kasane.

Step 1: Thorough Site Audit & Environmental Risk Assessment

Our process begins with an in-depth on-site survey conducted by a senior HYPEST technician. We inspect all physical structures, identify entry vectors, locate harbourage zones, test airflow in extraction systems, and evaluate water storage quality. We map out high-risk zones, such as food prep areas, waste disposal sites, electrical rooms, and storage facilities.

Step 2: Customised Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Strategy

Rather than relying on generic spraying, HYPEST designs a multi-layered IPM program for each facility. Our methodology balances chemical and non-chemical controls:

Step 3: TR19 Standard Commercial Kitchen Extraction Cleaning

To clean kitchen ductwork and canopy systems safely and effectively, HYPEST follows the recognized UK TR19 fire safety standard:

  1. Inspection & Access: Installing specialized access doors along the duct run to reach internal elbow joints and vertical rises.
  2. Scraping & Chemical Degreasing: Applying heavy-duty food-safe degreasing agents to break down baked-on carbonized grease, followed by manual scraping.
  3. High-Pressure Washing: Washing canopy filters, fan impellers, and internal duct walls to remove all grease residues.
  4. Airflow & Static Pressure Verification: Testing extract fan performance before and after cleaning to ensure optimal kitchen ventilation.

Step 4: Potable Water Tank Cleaning & Bio-Sanitisation

Water storage tanks in commercial buildings and lodges accumulate silt, rust scale, and dangerous bacterial biofilms over time. HYPEST restores water tanks through a rigorous 4-stage process:

1. Drain & Sludge Evacuation: Pumping out residual water and removing accumulated bottom sediment using industrial wet vacuums.

2. Mechanical Wall Scrubbing: Scrubbing internal tank walls and baffle partitions with food-grade bio-cleaners.

3. High-Concentration Disinfection: Spraying tank surfaces with Ministry-approved chlorine/peroxide sanitising solutions.

4. Refill & Water Quality Testing: Rinsing, refilling, and testing water samples for pH, residual chlorine, E. coli, and coliform bacteria.

Step 5: Digital Compliance Reporting & Ongoing Quality Audits

Following every service visit, HYPEST provides a detailed digital service report. Clients receive an electronic record containing technician notes, treatment locations, chemical usage details, recommendations for structural repairs, and official compliance certificates for health inspectors.

With 24/7 emergency response capability and scheduled quarterly reviews, HYPEST ensures your commercial facility remains clean, safe, compliant, and operational year-round.
