Beware of inauthentic virus control services

The Coronavirus pandemic has seen a surge of opportunistic providers for any essential product or service required to combat the disease. Unscrupulous service providers are appearing with an array of concoctions and tools to dupe business owners.

Durban, 27 April 2020: As South Africa prepares for the next phase in the battle against the SARS CoV-2 (COVID-19) virus, some industries will be allowed back to work, with the proviso they first prepare the workplace appropriately. Microbial fogging is widely used to combat pathogens such as bacteria, viruses and fungi, but business owners must verify the authenticity of the service provided warns a national pest control provider.

Steyn advises consumers verify the following with a microbial fogging service provider:

1. Is the product laboratory tested? Ask for Test Reports from an accredited laboratory.
2. Is the product registered with the NRCS? A registration certificate should be able to be produced?
3. Does the equipment being used for application deliver the product at a microscopic particle size of 10-50 microns? i.e do they have ULV foggers or other Ultra Low Volume equipment?
4. Does the provider offer a Certificate of Treatment after the service detailing the above?

Microbial fogging is utilized in both commercial and domestic sectors, and is capable of providing effective disinfection in large scale environments.
