Sterilisation Smoke
Sterilisation Smoke - Advanced Whole-Room Disinfection
Surekill Pest Control now offers professional Sterilisation Smoke treatment using advanced dry disinfectant technology designed to treat enclosed spaces thoroughly and efficiently.
This specialised smoke disperses ultra-fine disinfectant particles throughout the room, allowing active ingredients to settle across exposed surfaces: including ceilings, call cavities, undersides of benches, cracks and other hard-to-reach areas that traditional liquid sprays may miss.
Formulated to assist in the control of bacteria, viruses and fungi, this treatment is suitable for a wide range of environments including medical rooms, food handling areas, commercial premises, animal facilities and residential properties where enhanced hygiene measures are required.
Because it is a dry smoke application, it does not increase room humidity and leaves no wet residue on surfaces or equipment. Treatments are carried out by trained, licensed technicians in accordance with product label directions and Australian regulatory requirements.
If you require a whole-room disinfection solution with broad surface coverage, speak to the Surekill team about whether Sterilisation Smoke is suitable for your premises.

Before Treatment
To ensure the Sterilisation Smoke treatment is effective and carried out safely, please follow the preparation steps below:
Turn Off Air Conditioning
All air conditioning units, fans and ventilation systems must be switched off prior to treatment. This allows the disinfectant smoke to disperse evenly throughout the enclosed space and settle effectively on surfaces.
Remove Animals from the Area
All pets, livestock and animals must be removed from the treatment area before application begins. They should only return once the premises has been fully ventilated and declared safe to re-enter by your technician.
Close All Windows and External Doors
Windows and external doors should be closed before treatment commences. A sealed environment ensures proper smoke distribution and optimal surface coverage during application.
Chemical Sensitivity Precautions
If you are chemically sensitive, pregnant, elderly, immunocompromised or have respiratory concerns, we recommend remaining away from the treated premises . Re-entry should only occur once the product has
03
Treatment Process
Discuss and Inspect
Your Surekill technician will take the time to discuss your hygiene concerns, contamination risks, and the specific requirements of your premises.
A detailed inspection of the environment will be carried out to assess layout, air flow, access points and suitability for smoke application. we will also complete an Environmental Inspection Report to ensure the treatment can be conducted safely and in accordance with product label directions and regulatory requirements set by the Environment Protection Authority (EPA).
This ensures the area is appropriate for treatment and that all safety conditions are met prior to application.
Disinfectant Smoke Generator Application
Once the area has been prepared and secured:
-
The disinfectant smoke generator is positioned within the enclosed space
-
The wick is ignited and sparkles briefly for only a few seconds
-
Within 1-2 minutes, a fine thermal disinfectant smoke is produced
The room must remain closed during this process to allow the ultra-fine particles to disperse evenly and settle onto exposed surfaces, including ceilings, undersides of fixtures, cracks, crevices and other hard-to-reach areas.
The unit is designed to generate controlled smoke with no ongoing flame once activated. When used strictly in accordance with label directions, there is no fire risk.
Deposition and Settling Phase
The disinfectant particles remain suspended briefly before depositing across surfaces throughout the room. This settling process is essential for effective surface coverage.
The treatment area remains closed during this phase.
Re-Entry and Ventilation
Re-entry is generally permitted approximately 1 hour after activation, once the smoke has fully dispersed and settled.
Your technician will advise when it is appropriate to ventilate the area. Doors and windows can then be opened to allow fresh air circulation before normal occupancy resumes.
For chemically sensitive individuals, extended ventilation and a longer absence period may be recommended.
04
After Treatment
Your Ongoing Pest and Hygiene Management Plan
Before leaving your property, your Surekill technician will review your tailored Pest Management Plan with you. This plan outlines recommended service intervals, monitoring requirements, and when your next treatment may be due.
Your Pest Management Plan allows us to schedule your follow-up service at the appropriate time. A renewal reminder letter or email will be sent to advise when your next treatment is due.
Our Surekill technicians look forward to seeing you again and continuing to support a clean, hygienic and pest-managed environment.
Additional Pest Concerns
If you have any other pest concerns, please discuss them with your technician while onsite so they can be assessed and included in your Pest Management Plan.
For example, if carpet beetles are present, it is important to rule out underlying rodent or bird activity, as nesting materials can contribute to recurring infestations. Your technician can contribute to recurring infestations. Your technician can advise on monitoring or treatment options if required.

How to keep Germs Away
Sterilisation Smoke treatment assists in reducing contamination levels within enclosed areas. Ongoing hygiene practices are essential to help maintain results.
Keep Premises Clean and Tidy
Maintain good housekeeping practices. Remove wast promptly, reduce clutter and keep storage areas organised to minimise contamination risks.
Clean and Wipe Surfaces Regularly
Frequently touched surfaces such as benches, handles, preparations areas and equipment should be cleaned routinely using appropriate cleaning products.
Wash Hands Before Food Preparation and Eating
Proper hand hygiene is one of the most effective ways to reduce the spread of germs. Wash hands thoroughly before preparing food, eating or handling sensitive materials.
Supporting a Cleaner Environment
Sterilisation Smoke treatment provides broad surface coverage, including vertical and concealed areas, without increasing room humidity. However, no disinfection program replaces good hygiene practices and routine maintenance.
For commercial, medical, food handling or animal facilities, scheduled treatments may be recommended to support ongoing contamination control.
