In addition to established homeless shelters, the influx of undocumented migrants have escalated the need for temporary housing with many municipalities converting hotel rooms into shelters.
Whether it’s an overnight shelter or a short-term temporary housing situation, the combination of full capacity with turn-over presents the perfect environment for unwanted guests … lice, fleas, ticks, bed bugs and viruses.
QuestSpecialty has a trio of Shelter Protection Products to easily eliminate these pests while protecting individuals seeking safe harbor.
LICE, DUST MITES
Crowded shelters provide the ideal conditions for the spread of lice, fleas and ticks. Rely on 4570 CLOBBER Lice, Dust Mite & Bed Bug Multi-Purpose Insect Spray to quickly eliminate these pests. Additionally, it kills and controls lice eggs on mattresses, furniture, and other non-washable items without staining water-safe fabrics or leaving an odor.
BED BUGS, FLEAS, TICKS
BED BUGS are notorious hitch-hikers as they attach themselves to bags and clothing.
Once embedded in mattresses, blankets and other hiding places, an infestation can be difficult to manage as females lay about 200-250 eggs in her lifetime which hatch rapidly.
High heat treatments are expensive and difficult, if not impossible, to implement in shelters.
4650 LIGHTS OUT Bed Bug Killer kills bed bugs in minutes, then continues to kill for up to 30 days after application. It is made only with ingredients that are low toxicity which qualify it to be an EPA 25(b) exempt pesticide.
VIRUSES
Viruses can spread quickly within a shelter as many people are confined within an enclosed area.
Control the spread of infection with 3570 ENCORE PLUS One-Step Disinfectant. It is effective on viruses including Influenza, Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), Norovirus and SARS-related Coronavirus 2 (COVID-19) to name just a few.
