Coronavirus Sterile Cleaning Service Launched By Apex Pest Control

UK based Apex Pest Control is pleased to announce the launch of their new Coronavirus Sterile Cleaning Service. In the wake of the virus reaching pandemic status, as designated by the World Health Organisation (WHO), the company hopes that their sterilisation services will help businesses and homes maintain a clean and healthy environment as they navigate the coming months.

First and foremost, the company advises, people should refrain from panicking. While the coronavirus (also known as COVID-19) should be taken seriously, the average person should follow international guidelines in order to keep themselves safe and avoid taking more drastic measures that may actually put them at greater risk. Currently, for instance, the general consensus among researchers and health institutions is that members of the public should wash their hands and avoid touching their faces. In addition, they should reduce or eliminate as much unnecessary travel as possible, stay away from people who appear sick and/or quarantine themselves if they feel ill.

However, there are certain scenarios that warrant a more specialized approach, and this is where Apex Pest Control’s new coronavirus sterile cleaning service comes in. As the company observes, this virus shares many traits with the common cold, but its increased mortality rate and certain other factors make it much more dangerous. For instance, COVID-19 has extremely communicable properties that make it easy for the virus to spread from person to person. It can also survive outside the human body for some time, contaminating both surfaces and objects.

In an article posted on March 12, ScienceMag reports that, “the virus persists in the air for up to 3 hours and for 2 to 3 days on stainless steel and plastic surfaces.” A similar strain of coronavirus, the article adds, was found to survive for up to 9 days on nonporous surfaces such as stainless steel or plastic. Furthermore, it is unclear whether conventional cleaning solutions such as household bleach are able to eradicate the virus effectively, whether it is airborne or not. As Apex Pest Control states, “The virus shows how crucial it is that all environments get regularly decontaminated, and infection prevention and control methods get put in place to safeguard everyone.”

Given that surfaces and spaces that see moderate or high levels of human traffic are more likely to be reintroduced to unsafe conditions as time goes on, Apex states that a coronavirus sterile cleaning service has to be carried out on a regular basis. This will help ensure that any new incidences of the virus are removed from an environment before they have time to spread to a new host. The sterilisation service is capable of eradicating most pathogens, including viruses and bacteria. Apex reassures their clients that, “This specialist disinfection cleaning service will make sure that the rooms and place of business are safe for staff and your customers or patients.”

This infection prevention control is able to sterilize all manner of public buildings and rooms, equipment, devices and surfaces as it relies on the use of PX ULV Disinfectant Killgerm technology, which Apex Pest Control is licensed and equipped to use. People should be aware that the coronavirus may linger on surfaces where they least expect contamination, such as door handles, phones, computers, floors and more. Touching any of these surfaces can deposit the virus onto an unsuspecting individual’s hands, from where it is likely to infect them through the eyes, nose or mouth once they touch their face.

Apex Pest Control specialises in the control and/or eradication of all unwanted pests, and they consider COVID-19 to be one of the problems they can respond to on behalf of their clients. When they are not tasked with sterilising a room of coronavirus, their clients rely on Apex Pest Control to handle rodent or insect infestations as well as numerous other kinds of pests. The company’s services also include bee and wasp nest removal.
