Airport Pest Control: Airside, Hangars & Disinsection
Residual Disinsection
Residual disinsection is a preventative insect control measure in which an approved insecticide is applied to aircraft interior surfaces, leaving an invisible residual layer. This residue remains effective for a defined period and provides ongoing protection by controlling insects that may enter the aircraft after treatment.
All our residual disinsection treatments are completed according to the World Health Organisation recommendations and are conducted with no crew or passengers on board. The aircraft cabin and cargo hold are fogged with aviation approved pesticides that leave an invisible residual barrier on the surfaces to protect against insects for up to 8 weeks. The treatment takes up to 5 hours to complete and the aircraft cannot be boarded during this time.
Please note, that treatment must be renewed if cleaning or other operations remove a significant amount of the insecticidal residue. Therefore, it is recommended that our internal deep clean is carried out before disinsection.
Pre-flight Disinsection
Again, all our pre-flight disinsection treatments are completed according to the World Health Organisation recommendations and are conducted by use of a rapid action insecticide applied to the flight deck, cabin and cargo hold before passengers aboard the aircraft. However, this can not take place any longer than 1 hour before the doors are closed for departure. We recommend that Crew vacate the aircraft during treatment and do not board until 5 minutes after the treatment is complete. The treatment needs a total time of 15 minutes.
The pre-flight treatment must be followed by a top-of-descent treatment to be completed by the crew on board. We provide a d-phenothrin aerosol-based product and this is to be sprayed through the cabin as the aircraft starts its descent to the arrival airport with the air circulation set to high. On arrival at the airport, the depleted aerosol can is to be provided to the ground staff at the point of inspection. We provide a CofC stating that the Pre Flight Disinsection has been completed and that a top-of-decent treatment is to be completed by the crew. We also provide product and its instructions for this process.
Aircraft disinfection
Aircraft disinfection is the process of sanitising the interior of an aircraft to eliminate harmful microorganisms and create a safe, hygienic environment for crew and passengers.
Integrum Aircraft Disinfection treatments are completed with the use of an airborne alcohol-free biocidal product that exceeds European standards: EN1276 Bacteria, EN13704 Spores, EN14476 Viruses, EN1650 Moulds, EN1500 Hygenic Hand Rub.
This high-performance solution has been independently proven effective against 99.9% of bacteria, spores, viruses and fungi including clostridium difficile, MRSA, Norovirus and EBOLA. Once placed in our specialist equipment we sanitise your aircraft so you can relax safe in the knowledge that the areas you are in have been completely sanitised and that a safe environment has now been created.
Please note that this is a biocidal treatment and will only sanitise the contamination at the microbiological level. If the contamination is visible, we recommend an additional internal deep clean and possible carpet shampoo to provide visual cleanliness.
The total treatment time is up to 1 hour.
Decontamination full works
This specialist service must be conducted with the aircraft vacant of crew and passengers. Upon entry to the aircraft, we fumigate with a rapid knockdown pesticide to immediately kill any insects. We then conduct our Aircraft Disinfection service followed by a Residual Disinsection. Leaving the aircraft sanitised and protected for up to 8 weeks for complete peace of mind. The total treatment time takes up to 5 hours.
