PESTICIDE / INSECTICIDE

Chlorine Dioxide is an EPA approved antimicrobial pesticide which can be used to kill or suppress harmful microorganisms on inanimate objects or surfaces.¹ Disinfect bacteria causing odors and messes directly at the source. Vapor fog for deep, complete environment decontamination.

RODENTS AND PESTS

ClO2 is an effective repellent and preventative for invasive pests.² Chlorine dioxide is able to kill harmful bacteria and treat many high-risk microbial infections. This is useful when pest and rodent populations need to be fumigated. Verisan^TM activated ingredient has sterilizing, disinfecting, and antimicrobial properties to help you control the environment and manage pests that cause damage. Use to deodorize droppings or debris and treat the source of contamination, rather than just covering up and masking the smells.³ Such as carpets, holding rooms, workrooms, litter boxes, cages, and entire houses where animals can be removed.

When pest and rodent populations require infrastructures to be fumigated; such as processing, commercial, manufacturing, or storage facilities, the best tool to penetrate commodities and hard-to-reach crevices, without leaving residue, or harming the environment is Clean Solutions Verisan^TM. Chlorine dioxide has sterilizing, disinfecting, and antimicrobial capabilities that kill harmful bacteria, treat a wide array of high-risk microbial outbreaks that destroy and damage food both indoors and outdoors – without causing plant or animal toxicity.⁴

BEDBUGS AND MITES

Chlorine Dioxide can be used to eliminate microscopic parasites living on the skin of warm-blooded host animals, such as birds and mammals. Use it as a shampoo and conditioner in baths and dips. It is safe for skin contact and is safe for you, and your pet, and animals.⁷ In hospitals and laboratories, studies have shown that chlorine dioxide can kill bed bugs (Cimex lectularius and Cimex hemipterus). It also has a 100% mortality rate by destroying the cell walls and organelles of pathogens. It is often difficult to eradicate bed bugs and can be time-consuming.⁸ Exposure to chlorine dioxide at a relatively low level through vapor or fumigation is more effective and better for the environment compared to other disinfectants or fumigants. ClO2 is a strong, selective oxidizer allowing its gases to penetrate many hard-to-reach spaces and leaves no toxic residue.

ARTHROPODS

Each year, between three and five million people around the globe are affected by arthropod-borne diseases.¹⁰ Chlorine dioxide acts as an insect repellent, a preventive, and a biting repellent. Arthropods die when they are infested with an insecticide containing chlorine dioxide. Most of the active ingredients in insecticides (including drugs for acaricides) have required high concentrations of chemicals. Insecticides containing chlorine dioxide have a stronger insecticidal effect (acaricidal activities) at a lower concentration and are safer for people and the environment.

Chlorine dioxide can be used as an insect repellent, a biting repellent, and a preventive for arthropod-borne diseases.¹¹ Chlorine dioxide can be applied to the skin to repel mosquitoes that carry diseases, e.g., malaria parasites. The active ingredients in insecticides (including drugs for acaricides) have required high concentrations of chlorine dioxide. Insecticides containing chlorine dioxide have a stronger insecticidal effect.

Shampoo and repellent applications

Skin contact repellent

Concentration 50ppm ¹²

Disinfect animals with antiseptic shampoo

Concentration 80 to 100 ppm – deodorizer and irrigant for wounds and lacerations ¹³

Vapor fog where animals can be removed to kill parasitic insects and arthropods

Concentration 500ppm¹⁴

Cockroaches

Eradication of cockroaches, bedbugs, and other insects is often difficult with a high concentration of toxic chemicals that requires time-consuming approaches.

Data for chlorine dioxide from the Environmental Protection Agency

Risk assessments for the antimicrobials, chlorine dioxide, and sodium chlorite… “Based on its review, EPA is now publishing its Reregistration Eligibility Decision (RED) and risk management decision for chlorine dioxide and sodium chlorite and the associated human health and environmental risks…“ The RED document published by the EPA, in addition to a developed partnership with USDA, a complete assessment was taken involving pesticides using ClO2.¹⁵

Bites, cuts, scrapes, scratches

Light sanitizer for skin not intact ,²⁰

Concentration 5-10 ppm – wound irrigant solution ²¹

Disinfectant to repel insects

Concentration 80 ppm – can be used as a shampoo
See SKIN CONTACT For More Information

FLEAS, MITES & TICKS

Chlorine Dioxide is used to eradicate microscopic parasites that live on the surface of warm-blooded hosts, including birds and mammals, like fleas on a cat or dog. Simply used as shampoo and conditioner for baths or dips, safe on skin contact for both you and your pets. Once fleas are eradicated – treat the surroundings for ringworm with the various chlorine dioxide products.

Our sanitizing and deodorizing product is ideal for repelling and controlling insects as well as invasive pests such fleas and ticks. Chlorine Dioxide can be used to treat skin lesions or other effects of pests and insects directly on the skin, wound sites, and other skin lesions to ensure sterility.¹⁶ Chlorine dioxide is EPA¹⁷ approved for medical applications and disinfection on skin and surfaces.¹⁸ Chlorine dioxide can be used as a shampoo or conditioner in baths and dips for your pet to eliminate fleas, lice, mites, and ticks. Fleas and ringworms can be controlled. After fleas have been eliminated, you can treat the surrounding area for ringworm using the different chlorine dioxide products.

Safety assessment by the EPA, The Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA).

Regarding the treatment of HVAC systems; the use of a continuous release (gas) of Chlorine dioxide/sodium chlorite can be applied as an aqueous solution to hard surfaces such as floors and potentially result in inhalation exposure. For this assessment, the Agency estimated the air concentration to be 0.003 ppm, which is below the short-term RfC of 0.05 ppm, and therefore not of concern. For application to HVAC systems, this use is not of concern. For the continuous release, the estimated constant air concentration was 0.52 ppm, assuming no air exchange, and no build-up of chlorine dioxide over time because of the short half-life.²²

HOW TO USE OUR KITS

Watch this short video to learn more about OUR Eco-friendly PRODUCTS

1. Mixing

Put a few drops of concentrate and a few drops of activator into a glass or plastic container
