PelGar International acquired a UK based agro-chemical company called Agropharm in May 2015.  Agropharm’s range include unique NATO approved products which are used by emergency services and militaries around the world.

These products are now being introduced into the pest control industry in Australia, with the first one being a NATO approved Personal Decontamination Kit for use as part of a CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological & Nuclear) program.

How does this relate to the pest control industry?  Essentially the function of the kit is to remove contaminant from the user, such as pest control chemicals.  (Read more)

The decontamination kits come in two different packs, DKP1 and DKP2.

The DKP1 consists of two BLOT-BANG-RUB pads for rapid personal protection of contaminated property and DKP2 is a dusting powder application for personal protection of clothing etc. 
Each personal DKP1 contains two double sewn sachets containing 4x 2 x 20g of highly absorbent natural material 
Each DKP2 contains 94g highly absorbent natural material in an easy to use puffer pack. Both kits contain clear easy to understand instructions.

The UK made decontamination kits have been used for decades and have saved lives.  The kits are small enough to fit within a first aid/glove box of the ute or on the person, which makes this an affordable and vital emergency product for all pesties in Australia.

Accidents can happen at any time and being well prepared can make all the difference. Having this product on hand will deal with the contamination says, Gerwyn Jones (PelGar International Ltd, APAC Business Manager).
