F10 Disinfectant Surface Spray with Insecticide 500ml – Animal Housing Spray

F10 Disinfectant Surface Spray with Insecticide 500ml is a ready-to-use environmental spray combining broad-spectrum surface disinfection with insecticidal action. It is designed for hard surfaces in animal housing, cages, vivariums and bird rooms where both pathogens and unwanted insects may be a concern.

The F10 disinfectant base provides activity against bacteria, fungi, viruses and spores, while added cypermethrin helps kill and repel flying and crawling insects including flies, mosquitoes, ticks, mites, biting midges and ants.

This is a surface treatment only and must not be applied directly to animals. Animals, food and drinking water must be removed before treatment, and surfaces must be allowed to dry fully before the area is used again.

Disinfection & Insect Control in One Spray

F10 Disinfectant Surface Spray with Insecticide is useful where routine cleaning alone may not provide the additional insect control required. It can be applied directly to suitable hard surfaces and into cracks, corners and joins where insects may hide or travel.

Its residual insecticidal action means that, under normal conditions, treatment is typically required only every 7–14 days. The product is water soluble, so it should be reapplied sooner if treated surfaces are washed or exposed to rain.
