MODE OF APPLICATION

ULTRA LOW VOLUME TREATMENT

The Virex II 256 is apply by mean of an Atomizer which will break the liquid pesticides/germicides into aerosol droplets ranging from 1 and 30 micron. The concept of ULV treatment involves distributing a very small amount of concentrated insecticide solution over a relatively large area. The most effective droplets are those from 5 to 15 micron range as they can remain airborne for period of 2 to 6 hours and are carried by air currents. Eventually these tiny floating droplets contact most of the targeted object that are exposed to the surrounding air current.

Prior to the treatment, all building occupants must be informed that they will need to evacuate the area to be treated for several hours following the treatment.

All exposed foods and utensils including cutleries must be stored or removed. All sensitive electronic equipments must be covered with plastic sheet.

Before treated buildings are reoccupied, they must be ventilated by opening windows and door.

After treatment, any food contact surfaces, cutleries must be rinsed thoroughly.

After releasing the chemical, the treated premise must be sealed for at least 2 hours before re-entry is allow. Before entering, allow 15-30 minutes for ventilation.
