Key West sees rise in demand for misting services
A PEST control firm is seeing more businesses enquiries after launching an antibacterial misting service that helps fight coronavirus.
Leeds-based Key West Pest Control launched its antibacterial misting service in May.
Containing Benzalkonium Chloride, the antibacterial mist treatment is proven to kill the virus on all hard surfaces.
Sean McLean, a director at Key West Pest Control, said he was delighted that businesses were stepping up and going above and beyond what is legally required of them.
He said: “Since the Government announced that businesses could begin returning to work, I’ve been over the moon with the number of owners contacting our team to enquire about our misting services, which they intended to use on top of their other newly introduced hygiene measures.
“Every person we’ve spoken to has shown a real commitment to making their office spaces or outlets a safe place for both employees and visitors, and it’s refreshing to know that we’ve been a part of helping them achieve that.
“Our antibacterial mist treatment isn’t intended for single use and we recommend that a series of treatments be completed whilst the virus is very much active, but with many firms, we haven’t even needed to remind them of that as they instantly wanted to book a series of treatments.
“It goes to show that whilst the government has set guidelines, many firms have gone above that and set their own hygiene protocols.”
The latest company to benefit from the misting treatment is Leeds-based digital agency Ascensor, which recently moved into a two-storey office on Geldard Road.
Andy Firth, director at Ascensor, said: “Remote work has a lot of advantages, but in a creative industry like ours, you miss the dynamic atmosphere we crave, no matter how many Zoom calls we have.
“Social distancing and handsanitisers around the building are vitally important, but we also wanted to give our team the additional reassurance that we had done everything possible to ensure good hygiene. That’s why we decided to use Key West’s antibacterial fogging throughout the office and will continue to do so every month for the foreseeable.”
