The story, IPM approach and certificates of Kökten Pest Control.
Kökten Pest Control was founded in Ümraniye in 2013 by two agricultural engineers and a biologist. Our starting point was simple: the "spray once and leave" approach that comes to mind with pest control in Istanbul does not solve the pest at its root. We wanted to treat the problem together with its source.
Our way of working rests on four steps: inspection (pest type, density, entry routes), prevention (sealing gaps, hygiene and storage advice), target-specific treatment (gel bait, microcapsule, cold fogging, heat treatment, bait stations) and follow-up (check visit, monitoring points, written report). We avoid unnecessary chemicals and prefer bait and mechanical methods wherever possible.
We hold a biocidal product applicator permit; the products we use are licensed by the Ministry of Health as biocides, and their MSDS (safety data sheets) are published in the documents section of our site. All 38 technicians are MYK vocational qualification certified and take product safety and occupational health training every year.
We have served more than 42,000 premises, from homes and housing estates to restaurant and cafe chains, hotels, food production and logistics facilities. In the food sector we also prepare the documents that HACCP and BRC audits ask for, such as pre-audit preparation, logbooks and monitoring maps.
Biocidal applicator permit, MYK-certified staff and TS EN 16636-aligned work.
Odourless gel baits and water-based microcapsule formulations; the waiting period after treatment is clearly written.
Entry points, moisture sources and food access are identified; we do not rely on chemicals alone.
Product, dose, area and monitoring points are reported and can be used as evidence in audits.
With teams stationed in every district we arrive anywhere in Istanbul within 90 minutes at most; the emergency line runs 24/7.
If pests reappear during the guarantee period we reapply at no extra charge.
