- Nóta Not to be confused with disinfestation [ IATE:3549545 ] which has a broader meaning, and thus it may involve the use of products against insects and micro-organisms, while disinfection can only be achieved with products active against micro-organisms. For example, steam vapour as well as chlorine can be used against any pest [ IATE:1255775 ], whether an insect or a micro-organism (thus for disinfestation and disinfection), while insecticides can only be used against insect pests (disinfestation) but not against micro-organisms such as fungi, bacteria, viruses (requiring disinfection with fungicides, bactericides etc.).
