Love Your Pets, Kill The Pet Pathogens

10 Low-Cost Ways to Prevent Illness From Pet Pathogens

Pet Pathogens on cats, dogs and pets

Pets can be an amazing source of companionship and support to their human owners. Several studies have proven that pets can improve owner health, both biological and psychiatric, and speed up recovery after a surgery procedure. That said, pet pathogens that can cause serious illness too.

Pet Pathogens Include Bacteria, Fungi, etc.

From parasites to fungi, all pets harbor a host of pet pathogens that can make you and your family very sick. Even the cleanest of indoor pets can pass several life threatening pathogens to their human family members. This fact is especially true for young children, the elderly, anybody with a compromised immune system or pregnant women. Not to worry, by following a few simple rules you and your pets can enjoy a long and healthy life together.

Simple Rules To Protect You and Your Family from Pet Pathogens on cats, dogs, etc:

1. Never touch or handle any kind of pet excrement (poop) or urine without gloves (even when it just sitting in the back your). In some case additional personal protection may be required.
2. Keep the litter box clean. All excrement and urine clumps should be removed daily. This task should also be done with gloves.
3. For indoor / outdoor pets, check to see if their paws are clean before the pet re-enters the home.
4. Regular kennel, cage, bowl, tank cleaning is very important.
5. Pregnant women, should always avoid touching or handling cat poop and litter box materials. Pregnant women should also avoid all pet excrement.
6. Clean and disinfect all surfaces on a regular basis. This includes carpets, counter tops, toilets etc.

Ebola Disinfection

EBOLA VIRUS Disinfection Germ Champs Utah

EBOLA DISINFECTION SERVICES in Salt Lake City, Utah

We get a lot of questions about the effectiveness of the Halo Disinfection System against Ebola virus. At Germ Champs we offer Ebola Disinfection Services. Call today for more information (801) 438-7632

Ebola strains on surfaces are assumed to be fairly easy to kill since they are an enveloped virus which are less resistant to disinfectants than non-enveloped viruses. Our ebola disinfection services are known to kill other enveloped viruses including Influenza Viruses and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). HaloSpray has an EPA claim for several Influenza strains.

Ebola Disinfection Products

Our products and services do not have an Ebola kill claim on the disinfectant labels. That said, testing for the Ebola virus is not available because it is so hazardous to conduct. At this time we are not aware of any EPA registered disinfectant that has an Ebola kill claim.

We know of no manufacturer that has been able to test the efficacy of different disinfectants against the Ebola virus due to the great risk of contagion and lethality. However, the Ebola virus is an enveloped virus (like the flu and HIV), our ebola disinfection services are much like the disinfection services we provide for the flu and HIV and come with an EPA registration claim to kill enveloped viruses.

This Ebola outbreak started earlier this year and now is the largest outbreak on record. Transmission of the disease is via body fluids. The virus can be difficult to diagnose as is has a long incubation period during which transmission may occur. Symptoms are often mistaken for those associated with Influenza or Malaria, which have initial symptoms which are quite similar to early stage Ebola symptoms. The result is that preventing the spread of the Ebola virus is complicated and the disease, which is often fatal, is spreading at alarming rates. A further complication is that the modernization of the African continent – better roads and more air travel enable infected individuals who are yet undiagnosed to move around easily and spread the disease widely.
