Zika virus prevention in Italay
Anyone know where to buy the cans to spray the cabin? Just talked to Universal in Rome who informed me that the cost of them(or somebody else rather) spraying it is 260 euro. What experience do you have so far? Just got introduced a few days ago.. Read bellow news form AINOnline...
NBAA is advising that some countries are requiring insecticide treatment for business aircraft as concerns grow about the spread of the Zika virus. In a recent update published by the association, NBAA points to Italy, which has had a number of reported cases involving people who arrived from South America and the Caribbean. Italy is now requiring a certificate of residual disinsection for all aircraft that operate in the nation, regardless of origin. Residual disinsection entails spraying the cabin, cockpit and cargo holds with an approved aerosol insecticide.

And who, exactly, provides this 'Certificate of disinsection'? Can an operator simply make up their own form and buy a can of Raid from a supermarket?
Or is this simply another money grabbing exercise from a Mafia run Third World country?
If you fly into Switzerland or France and then hire a car to drive across the border, does the same requirement apply?

Making money opportunity!!!
You need a certified company, your handler will povide you contacts of course. I confirm that is required for flights from EU as well!
Nothing in Spain or Swiss coming from Africa, but mandatory in Italy.

Not sure if this is approved in the EU but it's what's used in Australia, NZ, and South East Asia and the Pacific.

Was there an option to spray your own aircraft with an approved spray? Or are they going to spray and charge you no matter what? Also can you see what they are spraying to make sure it is approved to not damage your interior?
We now have on board our planes a non flammable airline approved bug spray, but want to know if we are going to get charged anyway.
Wonder if we protest, saying this is killing the environment with all the spraying, that it would get them to stop this madness? I am calling Leonardo DiCaprio!!

Bottom of standard GenDec form, the CDR or other responsible person (could be purser) signs off on disinsection. Cabin needs to be sprayed before boarding and again before top of descent. Spraying after landing has eff all effect.
So - bottom line: signed GenDec + 2 empty cans of insecticide and you're home free.

@Joseph
Depends on what your OM says. If your CA have approved non-residual procedure, they have nothing on you. As many areas cannot be disinsected in that manner (namely all that involve food preparation), residual is not accepted everywhere. Is it...India?...that won't accept residual?
For private ops - EU operators will have an easier time when you have put non-residual in your approved Part-NCC OM. Thrid-country private operators - well, unless you have something on paper, they can pretty much impose whatever criteria on you that they want. Worth checking before dispatching somewhere...
