Abstract

See full text

The present disclosure provides a method for treating a contaminated surface. According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the method preferably includes a first step of providing a cleaning composition which includes from about 0.002 to about 2 percent, by weight, of a cationic surfactant which is capable of acting as a microbial biocide and from about 0.05 to about 5 percent, by weight, of a boron-containing component which is capable of acting as both a microbial biostat and an insecticide. This cleaning composition is applied to the surface so as to substantially remove contaminants from the surface while, leaving a residual amount of the cleaning composition on the surface to act as a biostat. The surface is then allowed to become at least partially recontaminated so that contaminants contact on the surface and mix with the residual cleaning composition on the surface to form an insecticidal bait effective to attract insects such that the insects ingest the insecticidal bait and die as a result. A cleaning composition is also disclosed.
