Do Rescue® Disinfectants kill the Bird Flu (aka Avian Influenza)?
Yes, Rescue Disinfectants are effective against Avian Influenza.
All Rescue disinfectant cleaner products are listed under “EPA’s Registered Antimicrobial Products Effective Against Avian Influenza [List M]”.
While not specifically tested against the H5N1 strain, Rescue has been proven effective against other strains of avian influenza, including the H7N9 and H3N2 strains. As Avian Influenza virus is an enveloped virus, which are readily inactivated by disinfection, it is expected that Rescue will be effective against all strains, including H5N1.
Use Rescue Concentrate (1:64 dilution) with a 5-min contact time, or Ready-to-Use/Wipes with a 1-min contact time. Safe to use around companion animals including cats when used as directed!
